One poster replies there has been a month in the difference of first case in Italy & uk and another poster replies they were at the same time .

Best thing that can happen is the internet goes into a 1 month lock down. The hysterical b%llox talk will kill more stupids than the virus itself.

How many anxious filled teens & children are we creating, the pharmaceutical industry is alive and well.

Life expectancy is directly linked to GDP. If this isn't dealt with promptly the resulting impact on the economy will likely kill far greater numbers than the virus itself

That is slightly simplistic, since life expectancy is similar in the USA and Cuba.
Economies,  especially Ireland, will recover quickly from this.

This is nonsense. The Internet is allowing education be continued, services be provided and people retain their jobs working at home.
The economy is hugely protected by this. The pharmaceutical industry will provide treatments for this virus.

There won't be a safe vaccine for years. They rushed a vaccine for swine flu and it left teenagers with narcolepsy. And swine flu was mickey mouse compared to this.

What qualifies you to make that statement - How do you know a swine flue vaccine was "mickey mouse" compared to Covid-19? Do you work in this field?

If I had qualifications in vaccine science, do you think I'd be hanging around gaaboard today? 

You are making a statement without foundation. Unless you have inside info what was the point of that message. Provide a link to the second part of your statement and then that might be deemed useful.

You could have as easily found this link yourself. There are many others.

The first part still needs clarifying. I've heard several contrary reports, I can't substantiate, therefore won't post that opinion.

Anyone  see a pattern in the leisure centres closed in the wee 6?

Antrim and Newtownabbey: Open, and will be suspending gym membership fees until further notice
Ards & North Down: Open
Armagh Banbridge and Craigavon: Open
Belfast- Closed
Causeway Coast and Glens: Closed for St Patrick's Day but open tomorrow
Derry and Strabane – Closed
Fermanagh and Omagh – Closed
Lisburn and Castlereagh: Open
Mid and East Antrim - Open
Mid Ulster – Closed
Newry, Mourne and Down – Closed

Nope. Certain controlled councils are closing leisure centres and others aren't?

I live in one of those areas that's still open, the argument of being on lockdown is still unclear as the government are dragging their heels, but seems plenty people on here are still working in places with other people. So it's either a proper lockdown or not at all and just be sensible.

The army will be back on the streets soon, marshal law on the way!

It's a simple prediction, based on the fact that any new medicine requires a lot of testing before it can be deemed sufficiently safe for wide public circulation. This bit of it isn't exactly rocket science.

And the conspiracy theorists. People need to wise up to f**k. 

A fortnight ago people were in denial.  Now some of the same people are spreading all sorts of quackery about the internet.

Country is full of headcases idiots,

edit: shouldn't have said that

Is it hysteria to describe what's happening in Italy ? Have you read any of the articles or watched the videos of doctors who are actually there on the frontline , do you know that yesterday they have proposed they will have to refuse treatment for the over 80s ?

Yes it's scary, yes it's fu ck img awful but it's happening . And the worst has not hit by a long shot .

21 year old died in Spain yesterday . He had been diagnosed with Leukemia recently too, but the saying that its only the elderly at risk, is wrong.

Yes loads of online idiots but the biggest idiots of all is Boris Johnson,Donald Trump both are meant to be leading yet only now are they taking things serious. Their slow reactions and errors to this crisis will put an end to plenty of businesses and will cost thousands of more lives than it should.

Nope. Certain controlled councils are closing leisure centres and others aren't?

Some of them flying the Butcher's Apron outside the centre, perhaps.

So it's the prods that are spreading the virus

Well, the Orange Order aren't for marching, so they're out of step with the DUP.
It's funny listening to Snarlene saying she will be guided by science, when Pootsy says the Earth was created around 4,000 BC.

Nobody said only the elderly at risk, they are more at risk as are those with underlying health conditions. That's been pretty clear I thought
