If you want a bit of positivity on a weekly basis then tune into Pat Kenny on a monday morning on Newstalk he has Luke O'Neill on and he is always highlighting any good news and staying positive the whole time

I always like Luke when he’s on TV. Someone usually posts the clip of him way back on the Late Late when he said washing our hands was all we needed etc. but his positive, upbeat demeanour is much needed.

I am not a fan of Kenny but I have gone from being an avid RTÉ listener including when living abroad to now tuning out completely.

Was the 8 % first dose only for a certain age group?

For over 65s I believe. I'm not sure of the efficacy in other groups.

It's the world's first homeopathic vaccine

EMA aren’t approving it for anyone over 65.

The UK are in huge trouble with this

No, same as, but its hard to avoid it completely. Even on here, the links shared etc. Talk of closing borders, contuined lockdowns. The pessimism is relentless, it would wear you down.

If I understand your question correctly it was the normal doses for over 65. The Half dose first (by mistake) and full dose two weeks later was given only to under 55s.

We'll have to wait to see what the EMA publish.
There is a larger trial ongoing in the US which should give a better picture of efficacy in older groups.

Looks like the UK quarantine is going to be phased in

Yeah I saw a post on twitter that the data and number of cases was statistically insignificant

So far the only sources are a German tabloid.

Wait and see what the EMA say as you've said.

I find the 8% hard to believe

Slaney Foods meat processing plant in Bunclody will continue to operate at a reduced capacity and said it is following all public health protocols.

It comes as 77 more coronavirus cases were confirmed in Wexford, which currently has the fifth highest infection rate in the country.

Staff at Slaney Foods were screened last Friday, with 42 testing positive.

Theyll do everything but bring in quarantine for everyone entering. Truly gutless. With any luck the mandatory quarantine being passed tomorrow in UK forces their hand.

TonyMaloney · 25-01-2021 10:07pm

Fingers crossed it's a load of rubbish.

If so, it's an amazingly bad article to run with. About as bad an article ever published.

More work outbreaks. Its baffling that this has been happening in these settings since May and NOTHING has been done to mitigate the risks.

Given the reduction in numbers, an improving positivity rate, vaccinations being rolled out. Why does listening to the news feel like that we are at the start of this and we are nowhere to seeing light at the end of the tunnel.

Absolutely, hospital numbers are going to take time to come down but things are looking up.

Best to keep an eye just on the swabs and forget the nonsense peddled by the media.

I just hope the government and the measures are agile and not deeply conservative into the summer.

What's the deal with all the bad news being released at night when I'm just trying to unwind.

And if I just switch off then it's all waiting for me in the morning.

There's no escaping it.

Looks like the UK approach will be similar (according to FT) with MQ initially only from high risk countries and those without PCR

Hey it's been extended to the anniversary of the CUH going on lockdown last year.

Gradius · 25-01-2021 10:14pm

Quarantining people from Brazil isn't so great if the person goes to France, then to Ireland.

Or walks over to Columbia and flies in to Ireland.

Half-arsing it just won't cut the mustard.

They had one infection in New Zealand and it's action-stations, so what are we aiming for here? What's the point?

Our government like to get their leaks out in the late evening, just in time to make the morning papers

4 extra weeks of level 5 restrictions after January 31st was expected. So 4 weeks plus 5 day now.

And the conundrum presents itself mainstream;

If we're all hunkered down because the main vulnerable group cannot be vaccinated, AND vaccines do not eliminate transmission.....:p
