It's hard to imagine a virus has the potential to knock out a state of the art aircraft carrier. Sailors on a long deployment on a sub would be feeling lucky. Probably stressed as they could become the main line of defence.
How did it not spread as much on planes? Such a long flight and close proximity to people.

The one where the captain wrote the long letter to Trump (5 pages is too much for him to read) and promptly got dismissed?

That's the one. Captain should have wrote half the first page saying Trump is the best ever president... Then end with... Get us all off the ship!

One of the deaths due to this virus, was young and no underlying conditions was on a flight from the UK. When he got back he was notified that someone on the plane 2 seats ahead of him was positive.

I understand there would be some that would have cought it. I just figured how infectious it is, how cramped planes are and how long people would be on them, that they would have caused a spike in cases is all.

Having said that he could have caught in the uk and not on the plane.

How much of a mortgage did these people get on average?

Someone paying 1200 a month who has a mortgage of I reckon say 320k plus over 30-35 years.
It’s not possible to get a mortgage of over 220k on 55k in Ireland let alone 320k.

you're only referring to people who have taken mortgages out in the past couple of years when the central bank restrictions kicked in.

plenty of people on 55K paying 1200 or more a month with older mortgages

I've just looked in on this thread from Time to time, wondering have any of yis figured it out yet? That it was a rouse to deflate an obviously over inflated world economy, are yous still wearing your mask's or what's the latest?

Are ye just referring to Dublin prices here? Plenty of people with new mortgages on 55K paying 1200 a month.

Walt Disney World in Florida has announced it is to furlough 43,000 workers indefinitely from April 19th.

The theme parks around the world were closed in the middle of March.

I spent a lot of Sunday sleeping so I'm still up and wide awake and full of energy. Good morning to you all.

Have a look at this:

The about about the MMR vaccine. Its saying it may help with the covid19. Much and the same kind of stuff as the BCG. Early days in their studies.

Kermit.de.frog · 13-04-2020 05:06AM

French President Macron to address the nation tonight and announce at least several weeks more of lock down describing the situation in France as "very serious".

tails_naf · 13-04-2020 05:20AM

Looking at the world stats per population, it seems ireland is one of the worst, if you exclude all the small countries like Andorra, etc. Of the countries with a few million population there's only really 4 or 5 countries with more cases than us. This is not down to just testing as we're way below many countries on testing per population. Any ideas why? Is it down to what's being counted, or something else?

Something I was wondering about the BCG... how are they able to use it now considering it was not available in Europe since April 2015? Is it only in Australia?

autumnbelle · 13-04-2020 06:24AM

Why is Australia doing so much better then here?

randy hickey · 13-04-2020 06:48AM

Good morning all!
Stayed up all night, like a feckin eejit, but watching the sun come up can be quite uplifting at a time like this.
Taking stock of the things I'm bloody lucky to have in my life here - and it has just dawned on me that in the past four weeks of effective house imprisonment, neither of my kids have complained even once.
You see, and I'm getting emotional here as I type this, they are doing it for me, and I have never been so proud of them, or this country, for that matter.

We will get through this Ireland.

Stay safe and healthy, I'm off to bed.

Just followed up on some of the stuff in the daily mail article and that documentary. Here's a paper from 2007 from one of the people who works in the lab Shi Zhengli.

I'm not a microbiologist so happy to be corrected on analysis. From the abstract you can tell a few things.
they were editing sars like corona virus' from bats specifically editing them to include the spike protein to see if they could enter cells in the same way SARs can. (Via ACE2.)

this person works at the lab in wuhan.

SARS like corona virus' from bats were engineered to have spike protein for ACE2 reception.

Is that not bizarre?

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11381746/china-hushed-up-bat-woman-coronavirus-expert/

https://jvi.asm.org/content/82/4/1899.short

Published in 2007 and a joint venture between scientists in Australia and China.

So, not quite the smoking gun some make this out to be.

Thanks for explaining. Not my area of expertise. Very concerning that scientists in Wuhan studying these exact viruses and proving they could mutate to infect humans prior to outbreak.

It could of course happened naturally . I don’t know enough to know how likely one way or the other.

Anyway stay safe.

Just to put it into perspective though. You can look at this in another way:

Chinese scientists working in China and Australia conducted good research to show that a SARS type virus found in animals could mutate and infect humans and published the research publicly. Sounds pretty mundane when viewed that way doesn’t it? Also, 2007.

It's still used here regularly in some cancer treatments.
