just wanna go on record and say I'm a Corolla virus denier.
don't believe it's any more bogey than the regular flu which takes out loadsa people young and old every year.
some aulfla taxi driver allegedly bought it in hospital the other day as a result of the virus.
everybody knows if you check in to a hospital in this kip you'll get the flu, pneumonia, or if you're really lucky a pillow over your chevy chase during the night.
it's an indictment of the hospitals in italy and elsewhere that old people are snuffing it en mass.
over proscribed medication and in a lot of cases totally misproscribed medication given to people is what's putting their light out.
then again aulflas and aulwans can't live forever.
even up to this present day you'll get an alcoholic GP quack prescribe antibiotics to treat the flu when flu is a virus and antibiotics will only treat bacteria. challenge that and you'll be deemed a hypochondriac.
if you're feeling tom dick don't go and die in a hospital.
have'nt heard of cases of gaffs being encountered with fuckin ten dead bodies found inside as a result of the Corolla virus have ye.
I'm still out working not because I'm greedy but because I think the whole thing is a loada gash.
I can't get over the hysteria and seeing everybody buying in to it.
everybody is brainwashed by the constant bombardment of it's mention.
seeing that benny on the TV giving it the large one down the camera in his prime minister's address sealed it for me.

Uneducated clown I stopped reading that after 2 lines rofl rofl rofl rofl

Doc I think your mixing your metaphors I understand your point but Im a gambler and the odds for working just are not right STAY SAFE we wont miss you .
-
Over 10,000 deaths in Italy so far doesn't sound like the regular flu to me. Perhaps you should remove the doctor part of your name...
-
Wait until it gets a bit closer to you Doc,you'll be singin a different tune...

It is more than a flu doc. Italy records around 23,000 deaths from flu annually, killing mostly the elderly. The first death from corona virus there
was reported on 21st of feb, so in just over 5 weeks 10,000 have perished. Doing the maths tells me this is deadlier than flu.
-
There was clusters reported in nursing homes, Doc... and, if memory serves, they did find a good few abandoned corpses in nursing homes in Spain.
-
Something like a 20% of the world's population is in some form of lockdown. And that number is probably higher now since India's 1.3 billion population were also put into lockdown with 4 hours notice.
We're not in Kansas anymore.

old people in alleged care are abandoned, neglected, doped up and euthanized every day in this country when they become a burden on their family. did ye not know that John.

He bravely continued driving passengers around London!!
Fair play. I hope his contribution was apprteciated.
What did the other 1,227 UK victims do to earn a crust?

First death of virus in Columbia and Thailand wer taxi drivers ratt .....

High rate compared to UK. Were they local drivers or holidaymakers?

But sure cmere octy only he's a smoker he'd be driving them around for free.

I'm looking at the poor chap driver who died .
.yes he was 78 but otherwise fit and working....and interestingly he was an artist I see
-
Are you talking about Mick the moan? If so you are mistaken. He wasn't fit and working. In fact he spent the last few months in hospital, where he contracted the virus.

But sure cmere octy only he's a smoker he'd be driving them around for free.

Mick's daughter Emily had earlier posted about the Tallaght family's harrowing experience, and it has since been shared thousands of times on social media.
She said: "So still think that coronavirus won’t get you? Here’s the real story, my dad was due to leave hospital on Monday after having surgery (107 days).
"Unfortunately he started to cough and they swabbed him and he tested positive."

He died yes ....of Corona covd 19 virus ....I've a grand to bet here ratt if any one wants to take a bet that ther be more taxi drivers dying from this . I'll pay ya wit your sum up if ya like or cash ..I'm absolutely certain they most likely caught it in ther line of work
I'm astonished at your stance on this issue ...as I said I'm tired arguing about it for weeks and I dont really care wat anyone else thinks .....but I cant understand how you of all people ...a rock of sense for years and the man to turn to if you want real information....has continued to trivialise and be so hostile to the fact that taxi driving is a high risk occupation in regard to this virus ....I'm absolutely flabergssted hearing it coming from you ....its like someone
Has a gun to yur head ....it doesn't add up coming from a man of your intelligence.........
That's all I'm goin to say about it ....the subject is toxic at this stage ....even the thread ...virus denier ....its not funny ....I hope none of you get it .....if you survive you could end up with permanent lung damage ... permanent heart or kidney damage ........why put yourself at risk ? Or condone those that still go on about wanting to work ....your getting paid ...
Working a taxi is not working a supermarket....there is absolutely no comparison.....
Anyway the bet is on
....any takers ....?

Im an Occi disciple man makes sense 350 a week to sit at home lads in WW1 or WW2 never got that option just go out and get made dead lads and we will put a flag on your coffin If its no problem then why are the men and women who make the rules Dail Eireann not sitting .When they refer to essential workers they mean workers THEY require to maintain THEIR lifestyles .Painters and decorators who could be painting empty schools are not essential but Ludmilla and Borat who work the off licence are essential .That useless no good cunt Paul the communist was calling for building sites to be closed so much for supporting workers he wanted men to get no pay but he collects his pay and party leaders allowance.

Of course more taxman will die of the virus, Octy. Nobody is immune and most of us will catch it at some time not just those drivers who are still providing a public service. To be fair, Mick the moan had a better than average innings for a taxi driver. Aside from Gardai I can't think of any other trade, profession or vocation with so many fat, lazy fuckers... particularly those of my generation and older.

average 14,000 deaths from pneumonia every year in italy.
why is italy never locked down to prevent the spread of it.
because 90% of the deaths are people aged 65+ with other health issues, just like this boogie man Corolla virus (which a lot of the news outlets are referring to as a disease. I've never in my life heard anybody refer to the flu or pneumonia as a disease).
-
Doc what do ya think about the folks who die from this that have no underlying symptoms?.I'm thinking this much worse and much more contagious than they're pretending but they don't want to frighten the public into civil disobedience and protests.When they stop paying me to stay at home I'll go back to work and believe it's all a hoax.
-
young people die all the time with no underlying health issues, sudden adult death syndrome.
if it makes you feel any better lots of young people die every year after catching a bad dose of the flu as well.
-
Over 10,000 deaths in Italy so far doesn't sound like the regular flu to me. Perhaps you should remove the doctor part of your name...
How do you know that's due to the potency of the Corolla virus and not due to the mismanagement of the whole situation. For instance, panicking and throwing everybody who has symptoms of the boogie man virus together in a hospital full of sick people where the situation is snowballing. As I said in my opening post there are'nt cases of houses being discovered with entire families found dead inside them from the virus. You're finding that in hospitals because hospitals are always full of sick people. Where there's sick people you'll have always have influenza and pneumonia etc. Listen to Doctor Bling now.

the whole affair reminds me of one of my favourite scenes from one of my favourite Woody Allen movies, Radio Days. "The Universe is Expanding." rofl

If there was a vote tomorrow on our phones of course and the choice was allow it to spread and kill off all the old people to avoid economic meltdown I reckon the old folks would get fukked in a giant ditch.But it's not the humane thing to do.So we deal with it.
In a few years it could turn out to be bioterrorism that started it all but they didn't wanna have all the Chinese living in Europe and the USA to get ethnically cleansed and fukked on bonfires.Could be lots of things.

Just a flu, eh?
Coronavirus: Field hospitals treating patients around world (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-52089337) (BBC)
E.g. Think they're gonna put 4,000 'healthy' patients in this one while the coronavirus ones get the 'real' hospital...
And they're building/converting another 3 of similar size around the UK.

Another thing to note is if the current virus mutates the next version could be much worse than COVID 19.
I think with the Spanish flu it only got really bad when it mutated.
-
Spanish Flu - Wikipedia
"A 2007 analysis of medical journals from the period of the pandemic found that the viral infection was no more aggressive than previous influenza strains. Instead, malnourishment, overcrowded medical camps and hospitals, and poor hygiene promoted bacterial superinfection. This superinfection killed most of the victims, typically after a somewhat prolonged death bed." Listen to Doctor Bling now.

I watched the video linked the other day and there was no mutation.....must have been something I saw on Netfix.Probably that flick Contagion.My bad.I've been off for three months..
https://youtu.be/VJrm8V5KmPs
Anyway there are differences according to this chap in the video.If it's not a problem keep working away there are plenty of taxis still going.But if we all say it's a hoax we won't get our 350 off the welfare..I don't really wanna work most of the time anyway.I'd live like this for good.

Fair play to the construction workers and the Easyjet (and probably other) trolley dollys who have volunteered to work there... and to any taxi/minicab/rideshare drivers who get them in and out safely.

An open letter to Dr Martin Gooter Bling,
Dear Dr Bling,
With news coming through more and more young people with no underlying health issues being killed by Covid-19, i am increasingly concerned for
your health. I think with you driving your taxi and getting exposed to thousands of viral droplets, you may not survive this pandemic. It would be
even sadder for you plate to die with you. I urge you to nominate me to take over your license if you have not nominated someone yet. I would
like to have as Frankie puts it, under the bed plata so that i can become a rental boss when the next boom arrives in 2040. In exchange for the
license i will pay for your cremation costs in full. Here are my details to fill in the S15N form.

Doc has probably already survived it. 80% of relatively fit under 30s only get minor symptoms, many don't notice.... and they reckon the antibodies created in your blood as (or if) you survive give you immunity for at least a year.
-
After the lies and underplaying the risk China 2.2% italy 8.7% how many will actually die ?expect numbers to be highest in Africa ,India China real figures .If you average contagion rates world wide and death rate the number of deaths will hit 13 Million world wide .USA say max 240,000 deaths I recon over a million number of deaths in america are doubling every 3 days
-
That sounds very worrying....
-
Another thing to note is if the current virus mutates the next version could be much worse than COVID 19.
I think with the Spanish flu it only got really bad when it mutated.
Spanish flu had a mortality rate of 2.5%, killing 50 million people or more WHO figures.... Covid19 has a mortality rate of 3.4%...But factors in, as lots of people eat healthier in 2020 boosting there immune systems so that might change % a bit.The common flu is 0.1% mortality rate so that Dr gouthering lad on here talking through his hole disease cabs.
-
if you're dying sick, don't check in to somewhere where every single other person is dying sick. the fire spreads in to an inferno.
there's a 0.1% flu death rate because people stay at home on their own in their own place, in their own bed and they don't have to worry about other riddled people in their immediate vicinity.
listen to Dr Bling now.

Trump and the Chinese Regime are responsible for this pandemic. Trump for continuously annoying the Chinese Regime with his trade war to the extent
they unleashed this Kung Flu to the world. The Chinese Regime lied on the extent of the illness for at least 2 months. The world lost valuable time
in getting prepared for this because of their lies. The Regime should be charged with crimes against humanity and i hope this marks the end of the
communist regime, the chinese people deserve much better. In fact, i am sure the world's relationship with china in the medium term is changed for good.

Pretty sure there was a Mecca on the corner at Phibsboro crossroads,whatever it was is still there all those years later-long closed.Picture of F Dettori jumping off a winner in the unsaddling enclosure.

Mecca most certaintly traded in Ireland Ken I think you might be spoofing when you say you were in the Bookmaking industry if you didnt know that .Billy Arkle /Fitzpatric was the first to sell out to them they wanted his shop on O connell Bridge thats in Dublin Ireland Ken .

The real Politic of this is Trump and His Judao/Christian agenda .The Old testament says Jesus will return in Jerusalem I think its in the book of Isia .The Western world has hedged its bets and Protected Israel just to be on the right side like Jesus was on the Right Side of the Father .The World used Religion from the Dark Ages to control people .The Bible is like the rule book .It fortells or retells stories .Ask why certain religions dont eat certain meats why some religions dont allow blood transfusions .Since WW1 the Rise of Socialism in Germany to WW2 the rise of Communism to today the rise of China .The USA and the West have done everything to defend their Judao /Christian view of the world any religion that does not recognise Jesus as a Prophet or follow his teachings must be eliminated .Certain Muslim religions see Jesus as a Prophet a minor one but a Prophet .China do not .India do not .Russian Orthodox do probably explains why USA never attacked Russia .USA is a Christian Fundamentalist Country spreading its faith through the body and blood of Christ but they prefer Mc Donalds and Budweiser .China is probably the only major country on earth that has not used established religion to control its population instead it had a little red book .Tune into USA Evangellical TV it gets bigger audiences than any Sport event .In the 1970s everybody knew who Billy Graham was if he endorsed you ,you became President .Trump says China lied but lets watch the numbers NY has about the same population as Wuhan which had 3500 deaths .Allowing for no lockdown in NY because the cancer that is President thought it would effect his re election NY death rate should be no more than Double Wuhan if it is less then China cant be accused of lying if its four of five times then China lied and dont be surprised to see Trump break the One China Deal and recognise Tiwan as an Independent Country and set up a Military base there and really stoke the bear .As a Christian Fundamentalist Nation that includes his Nato Allies they are Bible Bound to start a Holy War .Unfortunatly Americas Brand of CHristianity is mixed with Economics they use the Old Testament not the one that says Jesus drove the Moneylenders out of his fathers house .

There was a Mecca in Coolock Village. I remember when I was working in a hotel years ago the receptionist asked if I knew if any of our rooms faced Mecca... I told her you could see Ladbrokes from 208 and 209 and she seemed happy enough.
-
I bet she could see it
-
If memory serves me correctly ,Mecca were represented by Fran Lennon a guy who sold a couple of shops to Ladbrokes one was on James st,Declan Fearon represented them,Mecca went on to buy Steve Donoughue shops one of which was in Phibsboro,had one on Collins ave also,now Boylesports !
Cashmans were indeed a major Cork firm with O Mahoneys and Gold Cup winner Joe Donnelly !

Mecca most certaintly traded in Ireland Ken I think you might be spoofing when you say you were in the Bookmaking industry if you didnt know that .Billy Arkle /Fitzpatric was the first to sell out to them they wanted his shop on O connell Bridge thats in Dublin Ireland Ken .
I totally disagree with you and Rats and MMW. Mecca was formerly City Tote (which me Da worked fer in London) and they either merged or became Mecca. Mecca then merged with Coral under the Coral brand who had a presence in Eire. Mecca in itself never had a presence in Eire.
Ladbrokes, Coral, William Hill, Stan James, Stanley racing, Etc all came a knocking at our door when the Irish betting tax was reduced to 10%, but Mecca were never on the scene in Eire.

Maybe they just had offices in Dublin?

RTE News doesn't give any context but their headline (https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/0402/1127969-coronavirus-tracker/) is 'Half of humanity now in confinement due to virus' ??? ??? ???

No, I am not going fer it, that piece that MMW posted was totally factually incorrect.
In the mid 1980's bettors paid 20% which was reduced to 10%.
Not like the 3% mentioned in MMW's post.

You might have worked fer Coral who merged with Mecca, but never fer Mecca who never came to Eire.
Prove me wrong !
