    In today's news:

    Austrian ski resort Ischgl, has record rate of coronavirus antibodies, study finds
    Source Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-austria-ischgl/austrian-ski-resort-has-record-rate-of-coronavirus-antibodies-study-finds-idUSKBN23W1OF


    Also, the CDC have said that their testing has shown that for every confirmed case, there are 10 others with antibodies which would make the true number of infections in the US more than 20 million. Its been speculated all along that there were way more infections than the official number and studies now seem to be proving that.

    28-35 weekly flights to a country that’s getting over 1000 new cases a day is asking for trouble.

    Leo Varadkar said he thinks that “when this is all over” we will need to have an assessment or inquiry as to what we did right or wrong, and what we could have done better or differently

    Tribunal?

    We will be on Covid 29 by the time those findings are published and ignored.

    It's going from 28 weekly flights currently to 35 weekly flights, or basically from 4 daily flights to 5, not a massive amount of flights at all considering in normal times there's over 16 flights to Heathrow each day and 6-8 each day to Gatwick on Aer Lingus alone, still drastically reduced flight numbers.

    If you've been monitoring the vaccine thread - manufacturing is underway now, and at scale, for the leading vaccine contenders. If the vaccine is successful and is approved, there will be immediate supply. There are a number of Phase 3 trials starting and started in the coming weeks.

    Best case currently is probably a few tens to even a few hundred of millions of doses by the end of the year, with widescale availability early next year. Best case, and we'll know if this is likely by perhaps end of August.

    That doesn't mean we won't have to get two injections, or one "good" vaccine next year and a better one a year or two later.

    Best case scenario according to Fauci is Vaccine in early 2021 with 200-300 million doses. 7.8 billion people on the planet, 60% is 4.6 billions doses. So that is 1/15th of what is required.

    Like I said having the vaccine is only one part, administrating it will be just as difficult.

    I am as pro vaccine as they come, But I won't be offering my arm up for the first batch of them, that's for fúcking sure.

    And I won't be the only one.

    I'd have no interest in an early vaccine and wouldn't let my kids have them either

    I haven't seen a bus driver in Cork City not wearing one, dunno about anywhere else
    I was in the car from 9 - 5 today, in all four corners of Cork City and county, from Glanmire to Ballincollig to Kanturk and Michelstown and every single driver of every bus I saw had a mask and gloves on.

    He must have seen the thread. I'm surprised the man can stand up straight at all without a spine in him.

    This is a piece on the expected surge of cases in Minnesota with all the protests, thankfully unrealised. Covers a good bit of ground on other areas too.

    As far as I know there has been very little places if any that reported a surge from the protests.

    Yeah, they are going to name it Irish Tribunal Warp Speed.

    Most of it is HSE-related and they are working on it themselves. CMO also looks like he'd be a fan of minute self-analysis! The two major issues are the testing system and the ability of the HSE to cope.

    Yes, to a country that is getting a 1000+ cases a day.
    Are you happy with that setup?

    USA?
    How de we know the cases going through the roof over there aren’t down to or in some way because of the protests?

    Well its been 3 or 4 weeks since they started now so we'll know soon enough. As for where I live, the person in charge of contact tracing said yesterday that 12% of new cases attended a protest. Not huge but the protests themselves here weren't huge either so it may be different elsewhere.

    Stopping the Cheltenham goers or quarantining them - that would be one for your list of things to do differently Leo. Also you did a cead Mille Failte to the incoming Italian flights Leo. That should have stopped.

    How would you do that. At that point there were at least 100 flights a day going to the UK. All more or less full.

    Ya it'll take 12 months or so to roll out. Higher risk populations like the elderly will obviously get the vaccine first. Things will continue to ramp up as it's rolled out. There be no vaccine party because it will be a gradual return to complete normal.

    I'm beginning to think sending everyone back to work IS the way forward. If they don't play by the rules, sack them. Letting most of the country stay off work leads to scenes like Bournemouth beach in England.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,329 ✭✭✭owlbethere


    From a Facebook group I'm on, it was mentioned that there's a cluster surrounding a nursery in the UK. I googled it but there's nothing in the news about it. Maybe it might be reported tomorrow or over the weekend. 20 people down sick and in isolation and that's between children, staff and parents. I don't know about the situation over there. I don't know if nurseries and creches are operating at full capacity or if its just for essential workers. I think its for essential workers for now. If they were at full capacity, there could be more people infected within that cluster.


    It's a worrying development going forward for us when creches and schools open up.

    The government missed one. The covid19 payment should have been tied in with compliance. Anyone caught breaking the rules (or behaving like a dick eg spitting in garda faces and claiming virus) the payment should have been stopped for them.

    We know when a vaccine is formed and produced,, there won't be enough for everyone. Not straight away.

    Wouldn't it make more sense to roll out the vaccine towards the younger population instead of picking and choosing the older population?

    For a few reasons:
    1) the younger population moves about more and they would be considered spreaders.
    2) to minimise complications in adults who would generally have some more decades to live.

    Fauci is talking about the American vaccines, not the others. Astrazeneca alone have 400 million doses coming of the Oxford vaccine for Europe at the end of the year.

    Think I read that the EU vaccine group is also talking with J&J about a large order also.

    But yes the Oxford vaccine is committed to 400 million doses by year end pending approval
