China Coronavirus

[GetOverTheBar]

It was criminal of the Brits and the arrogant horse racing industry to have let that go ahead.
How many cases here as a result of it I wonder?

It should never have went ahead. But lets take some personal responsibility as well, The amount of Irish I know that went across given the circumstances was absolutely staggering. Levels of stupid that I can't grasp.

I know / Know of quite a few that went and there was no self isolation when they were steamed that whole weekend too after flying home.

Years of DUP and SF under-funding the NHS and then not governing for 3 years has left us in a terrible place. They then shunned the health portfolio. Real leadership. Real integrity.
But SF base will love this confrontational MO'N. But people will die I hear you say? This party is comfortable with unnecessary deaths if they can strike a blow against Unionism.

Agreed

I genuinely don't believe that is the case here. I am not a big fan of SF but have seen enough posts from you two to suggest you hate them and that's fair enough but I just feel that, and I rarely feel this about any politician, she is actually being genuine here and not point scoring.

They are saying the same about the Atalanta / Valencia Champions league match was the catalyst for the wipeout in Bergamo,Italy.

You don't believe that underfunding the NHS and keeping government locked up hasn't hampered the Coronavirus response?
It's debatable as to her reasons for grandstanding now I'll concede that and they may be genuine but whatever about that, this last 8 or more years of firstly mis-rule and lately 3 years of no-rule has left our Health Service the worst of all 4 regions. That cannot be disputed. MO'N and others should take responsibility.

It certainly has but the blame for that lies at the door of George Osbourne.

IIRC around the christmas of the RHI scandal breaking, the SDLP and Alliance at the time were giving the Shinners grief for not pulling the plug on Arlene and the DUP. Then when they did it they're wrong too.

Can't have it both ways unless the memory is selective.

I think they misunderstood that while putting alchohol on your hands might help stop getting the virus, putting it in your liver does not.

684 in UK today, likely higher than Spain or Italy (where things are levelling off). big price for delay.

No, they are not doing better, they just weren't reporting all the deaths, there were 126 yesterday, compared to 98 in the ROI.
