    Virus leaked from a lab now trying to cover it up.

    Not surprising in the least

    They want to shift focus away from a virus that started in China (with such minimal deaths and infections if you believe it) to a virus that exists outside China (and is rampant) and is now infecting China
    (Black people are now a source of infection...)

    Remember Tiananmen - does not exist in China

    The WHO have screwed the world at the behest of the CCP

    I got through a fair bit of that before I had to close it. I wonder would they feel guilty if they cost lives.

    in the UK, Hospitals are running out of three vital drugs for patients on ventilators
    One consultant said his hospital had just five days’ worth of propofol.

    He said alternatives were less efficient, so intensive care units would remain jammed – denying the next raft of patients lifesaving treatment.

    Doctors said reserves of painkiller fentanyl and circulation-boosting drug noradrenaline – both key for patients on ventilators – are also drying up.

    Can you give a TLDR;...something like John Waters is a nut job?

    They're basically saying that this is a New World Order of getting us used to lockdown/police state and that the crisis is wildly exaggerated for this purpose.
    It's woeful stuff.

    They're coming up with every ridiculous excuse for the Italian deaths; pollution was thrown out as a cause. Waters blaming doctors in Italy for their triage decisions and not acknowledging their extreme circumstances at all.

    I'm conspiracy-minded myself sometimes but the two of them are pathetic.

    The interviewer is as bad if not worse. The term 'dissident right' is new to me. The shame of it is he sounds intelligent enough but has bought into this ****e to such a degree that I don't think his ego would allow him to go back on it and admit that it's dangerous BS.

    To be honest, I would consider myself quite placid and easy-going but when the presenter Cullen said at the very outset that we should have gone the way of herd immunity, I would have no problem dropping that muppet on his head.

    Cullen has always been an absolute prick, so it's hardly surprising that he's going for the "edgy" take. Cliched and tiresome at this stage.

    From RTE:

    Gardaí have also reported a number of people who are travelling excessive distances for shopping and they cited an incident of a man travelling from Tipperary to Limerick to buy a trampoline.

    This is Father Ted level.

    @fin12 - this is baseless scaremongering. Please show me where in that article it states "virus leaked from a lab now trying to cover it up". Otherwise, take 24 hours away from the thread. Thanks.

    Where in Tipperary to where in Limerick? Like it's only about a 25 minute drive from Nenagh to Limerick city for instance, hardly excessive.

    My local Supervalu have been great in all this. Whats the problem ? Offending your religious views ? They would be open every other Sunday.

    Very sad. And also these people are incredible.

    I'm not sure, you have thought about this properly. Maximising access to stores reduces the likelihood of creating rushes. As happened after the travel restrictions were announced (which was only the perception of reduced access). It is better for everybody if people don't congregate together, so extra opening hours for essentials should be welcomed not denigrated.

    I do feel sorry for the staff though and recognise that I'm fortunate to be working from home.

    I wouldn't knock them, unless they're the only ones! What are Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, etc doing Easter Sunday?

    If Supervalu are the only ones opening today then it really doesn't help in the war against Covid-19 does it.

    It doesn't. I can only presume they are trying to read between the lines. The Chinese ministry of Truth has to "approve" any papers on COVID19 and it's origins. While at the same time government officials are starting a narrative that this was released into Wuhan by US foreign intelligence.

    It's a stretch alright but not in the realms of it being a global conspiracy by some lizard people.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"

    These a sentiment out there that we are doing great as a country. The figures dont really bear that out. We are up there with the worst in the world. Especially when you consider numbers per million. Have a look at the streets of Italy or Spain, only pegions on the streets. Our streets are full of people exercising.

    I hope this was a bit of trolling tbh, why was it absolutely necessary for him to travel to buy a ****ing trampoline.

    Also, the stupidity of guards stopping cars without a mask and talking to people. Do they not realise you can have this virus without any symptoms?

    The nursing homes are riddled. 54% of all C19 deaths so far are from that sector.

    Are they ‘ riddled’?
    54%. That’s about 170 in total. There are over 175 public/ private nursing homes in the country. So THAT CALCULATES AS circa one per day,. Are you trying to do a bit of scaremongering? Because of the age cohort of the residents of these places - with their ability to fight the virus being lower than it would be with younger people and with a higher level of underlying conditions with these residents , I would assume that we should expect a higher level of death than in other sections of society. I am open to correction re the above figs but if they are way out well what is the more accurate figure?

    That’s awful to read. There are reports of similar happening here too.
