    Agreed. The sanitiser in all shops is a good thing aswell that would be no harm to keep year round aswell.

    Only if everybody was made use it.

    So most offices in Dublin are not set up for social distancing, what happens here? We've no more space either...


    Split shifts like building sites, 7 to 2 and 2 to 8.

    We might never have a vaccine, there's none for SARS, none for AIDS which is nearly 40 years on the go.

    They almost had one for SARS, they stopped the research/development because the virus burned itself out before it was needed. AIDS is a different kettle of fish entirely.

    Dont put much weight in that stuff.
    Could, would, maybe, might. Some of those guys should get called aside about giving interviews that are simply not useful as public health advice.

    If I'm looking at the right link (pandemic will get worse in winter?), that's not an overly speculative thing to say - people aren't talking about it much at the moment but it's widely accepted among experts that if no treatments are available by then, the winter wave of this virus is going to be nasty.

    Could be worse BECAUSE it coincides with Flu season... for a start misleading of him to suggest the virus could be worse. Second, probably wont be siginficsnlry worse given they're respiratory illnesses affecting mostly the same demographics.

    I know a student who worked for One Hour per week is getting €350 in the covid weekly payment. And I know lots of students who worked a couple of hours a week get this €350 also.
    They are as shocked as us that they qualify for this payment and they admit they would be delighted to get €50 or even €30.
    You can be sure not a penny they spend will go on local or Irish products but to online international vendors.

    One hope in all this is that big companies are started off from scratch during the downturn, some huge organisations in the world today didn't exist before 2008...
    Groupon
    Instagram
    Pinterest
    Slack
    Uber
    WhatsApp

    1. No guarantee that a vaccine will ever be found.

    2. You would be off yer rocker to take a vaccine as soon as it's released.

    There will be a vaccine. Animals have vaccines against coronaviruses.

    You probably didn't put much weight in the warnings in January either.

    It's a concern and it's not from some asshat on Whatapp either he's the head of the CDC.

    There probably hasn't been as much effort or resource out into finding a vaccine before. There are lots of different programmes in place. Hopefully one of them comes up with a positive result.

    They're poor. America doesn't give a toss about the poor.

    And would quite like them to catch Corona so it doesn't have to lock them up.

    SARS had billions pumped into research.

    I wouldn't be so optimistic for that, better to adapt mentally and physically than wait for hope.

    I'll be first in line. I'm a frontline healthcare worker who really doesn't want to play a hand in killing off already vulnerable people. If that means risking growing a third eye, so be it, I'll do it.

    His concern is for it coinciding with flu season. Not that it's more dangerous.

    Flu vaccines?
