I said there were two British registered vechicles in that article, one of them in the picture you posted (the Audi). The other one is in the other picture in the article (the Ford with the roofbox behind the Audi)

Not quite - you said there are only two - giving the impression that 2 was the total number of UK reg cars. I asked how you could possibly tell - you said they were visible. In reality there is only one photo with a good few vehicles in it and most of the reg numbers can't be seen.

That article might be making stuff up but claiming you can see exactly how many UK reg cars are in the photo of that queue getting off that ferry is also making stuff up.

The whole of China was placed in Lock down, it was not only one province.

Not to mention Hubei province alone has a population more akin to the UK in scale. There is no "like" when it comes to a comparison between Ireland and China.

This one and the close-down-the-ports one are like a bad penny, or whack-a-mole or something.

Long story short, it probably isn't happening. More research needed. MSM making a panic at this point is not helpful.

Likeliest explanations are testing error (false positive on first diagnosis, or on second, or a false negative when they were recovering), atypical patient group, or low frequency lapse into poorly-detectable chronic infection.

The more media-exciting explanations are unlikely and while not impossible, would be very surprising indeed.

Now that’s not fair. Please do not mischaracterise what I’m saying.

The ports are our life blood as we are an island. People holidaying with roof boxes and caravans are not.

So after that I’d summarise your reply as ‘I don’t know’

Check out the Socratic paradox. Might save some keystrokes next time.
