    That's a very intriguing question if you reword it slightly to:

    What are you so confident there will be a vaccine in what would be an extremely short timeframe?

    SARS and MERS were both well on the way to developing vaccines but the diseases fizzled out do the pharmaceutical companies stopped working on them. If COVID 19 becomes a pandemic then there will be more than enough incentive for researchers to finish those vaccine trials

    Why have China gone on a war footing to contain their outbreak while we are being told to accept it will be everywhere else like the flu? It peaked in China too apparently. So China have been turned it around from the worst possible starting position but we should let it run its course. Seems to be the narrative

    Yes well I think everyone recognises that most countries do not maintain authoritarian regimes and so they cannot implement the measures China did

    People of the lowest IQ are the ones saying it will be all grand.

    No point in debating with people who say it is just like flu.

    Also the numbers coming out of China are pure and utter lies.

    What are the real numbers?

    Time with tell.

    Any links to give a real estimated number?

    Would governments pay for that? Or if it got to a worst case scenario, and people were literally dying in millions, would pharmaceutical companies charge individual people for the vaccine?

    I.e a whoever can afford to live scenario.
    I know they’re rotten but could they do that or does the WHO have any power over them

    I am dissing your nonsense info dump and where it was sourced...you claimed it came from a reputable source (it doesn't).
    You claimed it came from a front line doctor in Japan (it doesn't).

    I wouldn't cite a thread from a web forum as a reliable source...that is not hypocrisy lol

    Look, maybe you posted it in good faith, but it is rubbish, and rubbish in this scenario is not helpful. Perhaps in the future if people don’t understand the link that they’re posting, they might not post it, or post with the caveat ‘ I don’t fully understand this but...’ - not ‘this is from a reliable source’!

    Look nobody can give numbers because nobody knows.

    But yes it is very possible.

    Most European cross border traffic happens by road not air. What is the benefit in blocking air travel between two already infected counties? Some island nations might lock their borders but the economy will collapse faster than COVID 19 gets cured....

    WHO have said virus has peaked in China. If this is true, it's great news and a hammerblow to the doom mongers in this thread:)

    If the Chinese are to be believe then quarantine/isolation works. Great news.
    So stock up and sit it out would be a great thing to do.

    Anyone else feel like Europe isnt even trying to contain this? Flights, trains, buses still going in and out of infected countries etc. Ireland is an island and has a huge advantage. We should use it.

    Everything posted here should be taken with a pinch of salt. None of the posters have verified rep status and none of the comments are in any way "official". The OP hopefully sets out in more detail some of the caveats applicable here

    Don't think you will be drinking beer and eating rich food while laying around the pool.

    Think Red Cross ration packs nothing to do upset children and you're life on hold.

    All these people saying it's like flu no it is not there's a vaccibt for the flu theirs a lot on Ireland on dialysis and receiving cancer treatment at least their somewhat protected from the flu with the vaccine there's no protection against this

    Chemo knocks out your immune system and any previous immunity you built up so how do you think the flu vaccine works on people getting cancer treatment .

    We have a lying Chinese Government and the HSE are as useful as a chocolate teapot so no real numbers are elusive.

    That is why I said time will tell.
