I stand correct, Swedish, Danish and German children must have some superior genetics do they?

What a load of rubbish

"A rare syndrome affecting children that could be linked to COVID-19 has been reported in several European countries"

At this stage cancer will be linked to COVID19.

What is your qualification in epidemiology and virology?

How many times have you read "covid19" in the same sentence as "could" "may be" "potentially linked" "might"

Just think about.

In the meantime China, Russia, Brazil, half of US states, UK, Germany etc are all back working and clearly dont have time to entertain the "could" and the "may be"

Yes but i'm asking you, since you have no time for experts, what your qualifications are in the area?

Those long term affects are only in people who develop severe cases. Stop scaremongering, many people see through such antics now.

Honestly not trying to scaremonger, this is just the way I'm making myself look at it, getting this disease is a lottery in terms of what your symptoms will be and how badly they'll impact you and your future self. I'm erring on the side of assuming this will impact me long term if I get it so as to further my efforts to not get it in the first place. Plus, I was responding to someone who was saying there is no lasting effects and there are, and could be more as we increase our understanding.

How can we know cases won't get more severe in the second wave? Can you be 100% certain that every single new mutation of this virus will be something you can foresee symptoms for? Or that lasting effects will only limited to severe patients? It's a novel virus, nothing is sacred with this thing. It doesn't have to abide by prefabricated narratives of virology, nor does it give a high flying f*ck what it does to humanity. This thing could be like AIDS for all we know in what it does to the immune system. In a few years some mildly symptomatic people now could develop interstitial lung issues or who knows what. A few weeks ago we hadn't really heard about Covid toes, or the people losing limbs, or the 30/40 year olds having strokes like they're 70/80, or kids with Kawasaki syndrome, or the conjunctivitis with virus presence in the tears. The list goes on, and could continue to throw up new symptoms as we move forward. Why not mentally prep for the absolute worst at the start to be stronger going forward, and indeed plan based around that worst case scenario? Then things can only be better.

Hopefully I'm wrong but literally right now we are all ignorant as f*ck as to what this does to people. To assume the worst is to protect yourself the best. My two cents anyway, sorry if I scared you.

Jaysus Michelle O’Neill is painting a gloomy picture.

“People in Northern Ireland will have to abide by social distancing measures for a number of years “

“We will be socially distancing for a number of years, we will be staying apart even in gatherings for a number of years i believe “ “Until a vaccine is available we’ll have to live with some restrictions”

Dreamworld. Neither she nor anyone is going to be abolishing human contact for "a number of years."

so no night clubs, no picking up random strangers, no social interactions of any kind...well that worked out well for priests!!! mental!! never happen, barely hanging on as it is. this would really be the stuff of 1984!!

If immunity is ever proven for this awful disease i’d rather go get it and isolate myself until i’d hopefully recover than face that prospect of a future.

So you don't think an effective vaccine would be a panacea? What's the solution then, chief?:pac:

We may never discover an effective vaccine. It may not even work effectively across the whole population. My solution is get on with life. People that need to or feel they need to can self isolate forever. The rest of us must return to normal life and commerce to pay for all the good and essential things like a health service which we currently enjoy. If this lockdown foreva lark goes on much longer then the price must be vastly reduced standards of living, reduced life expectancy, reduced everything. Ms oneill is off her trolley but in typical SF fashion is completely detached from normal economic and social realities.

And you might know it was RTE that reported her “ speech”

No doubt lapping it up. Claire Byrne and George lee would be salivating at the mouth at such prospects.
She makes Arlene foster look like a completely rational politician with this kind of stuff
