Not stopping Italians coming to Ireland despite the rugby match being called off. 2. Not warning off the 1000s that headed over to Cheltenham. And as far as I can recall, that earlier in the year people were avoiding Chinese restaurants around Chinese New Year because of the worry that they might have staff that brought the virus back from China.

His claim was that the virus travelled from China in the frozen chicken and then survived a wok! A type of cooking based on extremely high heat. Look we know he is a fan of conspiracy theories and he was gullible enough to fall for another one.

I know nothing about his background, but going by this thread he will not be threatening Pearse Doherty/O'Broin as the the anointed leader after Mary Lou?
