    Like you am a wine git. But I have to disagree about the pasta. There is NOTHING like fresh Brennans Bread ever. I think they put some substance in there that is addictive!

    The don't put it in, it's already there:
    Wheat- and dairy products contain opioid peptides influencing endorphin receptors in the brain. These peptides are physically addictive, causing dependence, asthma, obesity, apathy, ignorance and numbness.

    That seems exceptionally rare though, perhaps she had an unknown underlying condition. Some young people have undiagnosed heart conditions etc.

    Yes people can act serious and worried however that is not going to stop a virus.

    If this things gets me that will be time to stop cracking jokes.

    The same people who are crying people are not taking it serious now are the same people who said it would be all grand.

    Emotional flip floppers.

    I don't agree with a hell of a lot of what you post, but I respect your dedication to taking the piss no matter what. Good man.

    Could you link to where WHO said it may be as high as 4%. That seems extremely high and personally have never heard anything over 2% being quoted from a reputable source.

    Have they released the Chinese figures yet??

    David Abel has his new videos up.. he's dancing in it looks great. The wife has been tested negative and he's positive I'd say they will be split up now due to reinfection?

    That’s great news!

    You've been consistent in fairness to you, but you seem to be basing your suggestions on worst case scenarios. It's easy to suggest that as a man on the street, far harder to actually implement as someone in government.

    McCanns, Corona Virus, Lizard People, Weapon of Mass Destruction.

    I've read plenty of his posts over this thread and the last one. I think they're lacking in facts and bordering on hysteria.

    That is another thing these two threads have been full of idiots everyday saying this thing only kills old or sick people.

    A form of denial.

    This thing is not flu and it can KILL you have healthy people.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,717 ✭✭✭YFlyer


    You think we should test thousands and thousands of people just incase?

    It would take days and weeks to get results with that many samples.

    I seen titrations be carried out by laboratory technicians or scientists. Could quite easily be done by automatic titrate instruments.

    It's the job of the government to make tough decisions, any fool can make an easy decison Bob.

    Not really, most politicians seem to be more worried about doing something and being wrong than doing nothing and people dying.

    Also many people are concerned about a panic causing an economic collapse, what do they think will happen if we ignore it for so long that any economic collapse ends up being twice as bad due to nobody being prepared?
