Billy Kelleher I’M NOT ASHAMED to say that I have been caught out by some of the fake news stories circulating over the past number of weeks. I for one, held my breath every morning for 10 seconds for three days to see if I had Corona.
Earlier on in this crisis, we all heard the WhatsApp voice message purporting to be from a member of the Defence Forces telling his company to prepare for deployment as the Taoiseach would lock down the country early the next morning. Now we know it was fake news, but many people at the time thought it was real.
We have a habit of thinking in Ireland that the likes of Russia, China or the alt-right in the United States have no interest in our country. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case. The EU is working night and day to fight Covid-19. As a collective, and individually as member states, there is non-stop collaboration and co-operation. Take for example the 2 million surgical masks shipped from France and Czechia to Italy. That received a lot less coverage than the bogus China claims.
On a more human level, German state governments have taken in many seriously ill patients from Italy and France to help their Intensive Care systems deal with the surge. For as long as night follows day, national governments will take the credit for everything positive, and will blame the EU for everything that goes wrong or the people don’t like.
BillyKelleherEU Are we really supposed to listen to someone who held his breath for 10 second every morning. The Russians made him do it.
