Graphic warning

There isn't really a lot being said about the cause of this outbreak. If the Chinese weren't eating bats and all sort of crazy wild animals this wouldn't have happened.

The WHO's remit isn't just public safety it's also Economic, people would do well to remember that.

Only a handful people from ireland have tested pos on rtn from italy. How were the gov going to stop people (100s of kids on school ski trips) coming home.

Let them come home then isolate them.

The US is screwed with this idiot as President. I think they're in big trouble. Whatever criticism we might give the HSE, I believe what they're saying and think the medical professionals are competent.

Exactly. At least our government are letting the HSE get on with the job. Trump's pronouncements on the virus are an example of narcissistic authoritarianism in full bloom.

The lambs arent babies when they are eaten here.

Their slaughtered as babies for our consumption, the hubei wet market had every animal in that market, and a similar market caused sars in a different region before

Supply chains dominoes falling, will impact April forward. Baltic Dry Index 7 Mar just back to parity with it's 21 Jan level. Bear in mind USA is about 80% dependent on China for pharmaceutical supplies.

I made sure to get to the docs today to get an extra months inhalers, I'm gonna need them I think.

Reasonable advice. But don't docs serve six month scripts in Ireland. Apologies, I work in hospital.

so 5 cases confirmed today, glad to see the number is lower, although i feel that's just down to only testing X amount I presume?

380 plus tested in total so not too bad I thought.

we've been eating wild animals for hundreds of thousands of years. taken from their natural state with no preservatives or other chemicals and living their best life. many people prefer eating animals killed in the wild as much more ethical and safe than mass farmed animals. i suggest you watch some documentarys on where most of our chicken comes from for example.

Bats are known to carry disease and its well know bush meats are behind a lot of zoonotic diseases.

while we're all tut tutting about what they eat in china, remember that we just love a nice juicy baby sheep or deep fried bits of factory farmed chicken mixed with who knows what.

Yeah dont forget the mould dirt and bugs on all those vegetables and cereals or that birds crap all over them as well - eeeuughh .

Btw they dont eat bat in China. Probably one of the few things animal vegetable and mineral they don't eat. But if a lamb is a 'baby sheep' what do you call a baby bat? You know just for a bit of saccharine emotive appeal like ...

I'm surprised they have managed to trace it back to one person in Italy.

What country had they traveled from?

China I would imagine

Theyre at least a few months old before slaughter, I know because I grew up on a sheep farm.
You cant compare the meat standards we have in this country to dirty wet/live markets in China, they were banned after sars but they went black market/officials turned a blind eye.

Im hearing this evening that the suspected community transmission case in cork icu has been solved and is not in fact community related.

The patient already had pneumonia and contracted coronavirus in the hospital from a doctor or a nurse. They arent sure yet.

that make sense, if they found the healthworker today too.

49 deaths in Italy today. Seems to be a deteriorating situation there.

Ain’t my video, but humour will also emerge in times like this, unless one wants to engage in universal pessimism and despair.

This means CoVid 19 has been on our soil longer than the first reported case then? And if the patient got it in there from a healthcare worker or another patient surely there will be more cases within days? I was wondering why there was more media coverage and staff sent home in CUH than there was in UHL. Only a matter of time before staff and patients from UHL test positive though too.

I did half think today’s figures might mean we won’t get this virus too bad in this country but now I am not so sure.

Get the **** off your high horse racist pew. We kill animals and we enjoy eating them.


So what. Just because its in a galaxy far away doesn't mean it won't arrive at your door.
