EU health ministers are looking for ways to produce more drugs and protective gear in Europe to cope with shortages caused by the coronavirus outbreak.

This event could turn the shift away from hyper globalism...maybe they will realise it's not exactly great to have a huge amount of generic drugs coming from just one country.

Ireland has a lot of pharmaceutical companies. Can they help?
As for protective gear - I don't know.

Some rant there. Why does hysterics have people believe Ireland is somehow unique in how it's following WHO guidelines?

Yeah quite agre your post was a bit of a rant but no matter ...

So you're saying that even more people coming back from infected regions with the Corona virus - shouldn't be brought back and quarantined and other passengers trying the same shouldn't be stopped and handled appropriately? Grand so. That makes perfect sense so it does... :rolleyes:

Is the footage verified as Wuhan China?

The thing in the video - looks like deep fried rat on a stick tbh. And the thing beside it looks like a rather flat rat tbh - roadkill style maybe. Who knows.

I'm fairly sure I saw something with wings in that video. I'm not watching it again.

Doesnt matter where it is, but it is somewhere.

I watched that pandemic series on netflix by chance a few weeks ago. Theres teams around the world whose jobs are to monitor livestock and wildlife for the next virus/pathogen(like whats after happening). A market like that would be impossible to inspect.

We have passports.
They record where you've been and where you are going.
Try commit a crime and cross a border and see what happens.
I know we live in a fluffy world but its quite an illusion.

When travelling within Europe what border do you show your passport at?

I imagine it won't be an issue until an elderly relative is critical and there is no beds left.

I haven't looked at it but I guess I know which one it is based on comments, some if it anyhow, and it was discredited some days ago.

Saying we'd starve if we blocked travel is nonsense. The virus comes to countries in the form of people travelling for work or leisure. Then it gets established sooner or later. No need to block goods.

All areas are infected. It's in every corner of this small country now. People travel. Your food is picked and produced by people, transported by people. You can't expect to stop tourists and not stop everyone else, hoping that helps.

Well see how things look in two weeks, but either it will have gotten a lot better or a lot worse.

Or it will be exactly the same

So which counties have an infection now or do we still only have general areas?

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 ...

Not a hope. It's this week exactly the same as two weeks ago for any area affected?

Seems growth is linear right now, but it's too early really to tell.
