    Wonder if the woman in Belfast with the virus bought her train/bus ticket online or from one of those machines before she travelled up?

    Did she tap or use cash?

    As a journalist, I have to say that I am shocked at the lack of evidence to back up claims. What's worse is this new online publication WhatsApp which is worse than the Daily Fail.

    WhatsApp seems to be absolutely off the wall with this now. My wife, who to be fair has been on top of this story and very level headed for a long time got a message tonight which got her panicking.

    Something about a hotel shutdown in Dublin and St Vincent's and Beaumont having cases blah blah blah.

    I had to remind her that this was a forwarded message on WhatsApp, some twat most likely made it up and off it went.

    It goes on to say...

    Another reason for the drop in purchase intent could be the perception of Corona as a summer beverage associated with beach holidays, noted YouGov on Wednesday. It therefore has substantial seasonal fluctuations, it said

    Get a grip. This is not a time for common sense!

    Good point made there by a doctor on RTE, Chinese people take a tremendous pride in their country and protecting it and have all rowed in the same direction to stop the virus

    Here we are still making father ted jokes and moaning about a cancelled game of rugbyball.

    You mean they're all a great bunch of lads? :pac:

    That is scary

    That's my concern, the impact on our health system, which surely has to affect people who don't even have the virus, let alone the people who do.

    My catchphrase again is "flatten the curve".

    You're wrong. My mam's aunt's husband's cousin's coworker says that it's likely to infect everyone and we will all die. Please do not downplay this major catastrophe.

    What?? Are you serious? Everyone will get it?

    Best thread for ages on Boards. No one cares about this and that, it is the banter and the odd bit of information that keeps us here.

    Because one is deliberate trolling and the other isn't.

    This is it last few days there's been a bit of humor which nobody really minds. I don't see any harm of anyone putting out some info if they have it, it won't be long getting called out if they've been duped.

    Tonights been a particularly bad night though some woeful crap coming through other channels for me even from usually good sources of current affairs. So far I've established..

    There no hotel on lockdown.
    No cases in Dublin hospitals.
    There's nobody they won't remove from an ambulance in Galway.
    There will always be cases in the airport.

    BBC newsline some common sense
    They stated current evidence says 4 out of 5 people who get it will have a fairly mild flu that's it. It's not gonna be like 28 days later people are going over the top and it's clearly being hyped up by social media etc.

    Common sense and open ears is advising that maybe 1 out of 5 will have problems. Also that it’s more transmissible than normal flu and bugs. If it takes real hold, that’s potentially 50,000+ citizens in difficulty. We’re not the Chinese, we can’t just shut down say all access to Dublin. It takes us 10 years to build a hospital, not 10 days. We are right to be concerned and demand appropriate action.

    What you probably miss every 30 posts

    - I can’t believe they are not screening people at airports
    - I cannot believe how unprepared the HSE is and what a balls they made of this
    - it’s 2% death rate
    - no it’s .01%
    - More people die from the flu
    - someone then will follow up with flu infection rate vs Coronavirus infection rate to counter this point
    - someone making a joke about it
    - someone make a big deal about x new infections in country x
    - someone giving out because it’s not being taken seriously enough here
    - someone giving out because it’s being taken too seriously
    Bump :)
