Maybe but it's another example of just how unprepared the HSE are

If they are messing up a small doses how will they be able to handle bigger doses when they come on stream?

If even one nursing home gets infected in the meantime that could have been prevented by the HSE hitting the ground running it's unforgiveable

It's not a good look no matter what way Reid and Varadkar try to spin it

I'm having visions of Veradkar on the phone to Reid tell in him to get a move on after Veradkars interview this morning tbh

Very good chance we will get a token Aul wan vaccinated tomorrow for optics and press purposes.

Any need to refer to an older person as an Aul wan?

Of course not but let's take an example day of November 25 when 362 swabs were positive, if you tested twice the number of people at the same positive rate you would have 724 positive swabs...

yes, but if you test people who are not contacts of people with Covid then you would not have the same positive rate. If you test randomers you would get some positives but nowhere near as many.

Moderna approval expected 6th January, Oxford later in January

If it goes as Pfizer we'd get first doses about a week after approval

Yeah but are they included in projections currently? I think the general feeling is they will be approved...I would imagine would extra vaccines would speed everything up but I don’t see any mention of this...Maybe I am missing something....

Also how/who decides which vaccine people should get?

Not included in current projections as we don't know what numbers we will get and when

The vaccination strategy group will decide who gets what vaccine

Id imagine gp practices and pharmacies/vaccine hubs will get Oxford due to both the fact it does not need special storage and we are due to get a couple of million doses of it

They aren't in the current projections. Mentioned by Varadkar earlier the current timelines are only based on Pfizer, timelines get brought forward when more come on stream

Whatever about the vaccinations not starting till Tuesday if its a Monday to Friday 9 to 5 job heads should roll. If the HSEs incompetence over the years didn't mean so many healthcare workers had to move abroad to find work maybe we would be in a position to mass vacinate but of course that won't be the case.

Cool....Fair enough....Sounds positive to me though - hard to predict future but sounds reasonable enough to think things may go a bit quicker than anticipated:) Hopefully:)

Aul is a very Irish variation of old. What's you problem?

Older person? Should that not be senior citizen?

Interesting that Israel seem to have secured more supplies more quickly (per capita) than US, UK or EU

Careful now!

Things will be fine. The coming weeks positivity will raise as death numbers drop.

We are nearly there.

That's just for nursing homes

What about all those that came home at the start of all this? Did they emigrate again? Apparently it took time to train these people to give ICU care. But surely it doesn't take time to give injections?

I was not trying to make a point with that comment, just curious. I suppose with their small population and good financial resources, they were just able to secure a decent supply.

Surely there could be room for some lateral thinking. It is usually 3 days after death to funeral. In that space of time could all the bereaved family and close friends etc not get a test done prior to the funeral and attend with clear conscience and do what it human and humane at funerals if they do not have covid?

What method do you use to confirm and verify all say 80 attendees have been tested and are verifiably free of covid... ? Who is responsible for ensuring this ?

The virus just wants to infect you and attack you, it doesn’t give a flying monkeys why you are in the church, spiritual reason, how sad you are, how many prayers you’ll say... the body of Christ etc... fûck that..., we need to be prioritizing the health and wellbeing of those of us living....

If that means a few noses out of joint, a few tears... whatever, so be it.

No wonder Paul Reid said 10% positivity, the swab numbers have been updated.

Last 24hrs 3364 tests, 338 postive swabs = 10%

25th - 21097 tests , 1629 positives

26th - 11930 tests, 1204 positives

Thats positive is it? About 300 cases
But that would be christmas day numbers correct?

So only 3364 tests yesterday?

The totals give positivity over the three days of 8.58% rather than the 10%

#thathappened. I'd be more likely to believe you if your previous posts weren't also all about ending restrictions and people not "living in fear".


Funerals have been the source of some very serious outbreaks, and attract an elderly and vulnerable group. We had to bury a close relative during this, and most of the family (with the exception of the usual candidates) completely understood why the restrictions were there - and were glad for them.

Edit: not worth defending myself to imbeciles.

The Christmas day numbers were probably swabs taken Christmas Eve and tested in the lab Christmas Day

Yesterday's would be swabs taken Christmas Day

Just under 9% cumulatively across the 3 days...

Cases should be fairly low today so a small bit of light

I wonder how many of the 20k+ tests this past week were people getting tested prior to travelling to visit family

Be interesting to see if we drop back to 15k or less a day over the next couple of weeks

Just over 10% for the 26th and 27th.
