Just had a look at it there, in the general beds Beaumont and Tallaght both with the most at 4.

Hopefully this'll be down to under 10 in total across
the country during next week.

The 2 people hospitalised and subsequently found to be infected in Cork in February had the Wuhan strain , but they still have no idea how those people got it , as there was no history of travel or contact .
Does that mean they were in contact with an asymptomatic carrier who may have been travelling or in contact with someone who was infected with the virus ?

Exactly yes. That specific story actually suggests that community spread was happening in Ireland as far back as late January/early February!

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.

There have been several big contracts already signed for vaccines. Astra Zeneca alone is planning on 1.4 billion doses minimum, similarly Moderna/Lanza 1 billion (minimum), J&J probably another billion or two then you have Pfizer, Sanofi, Innovio etc. That's also not counting what the Chinese will do with their vaccines, I expect them to produce billions of doses also.

I'll be first in line for the vaccine when it's available to me, both for me personally and for my community. If other people don't want to get it, that moves me up the line - happy days. Will probably book a holiday abroad for the week after The Oxford/Astra Zeneca vaccine in particular is based on existing technology already used in vaccines provided by them, as are some of the others such as J&J, Sanofi etc.

39000 more cases in Brazil today. The US and Brazil are well and truly ****ed as far as I can see.

No wonder people want to go abroad for a week.

That's coming up as €5000 for me when I just looked it up. Next highest after that is €3000.

The virus has to get from country to country somehow

Interesting I posted awhile back that a wuhan strain listed as appearing in the south was put on the phylo tree for the virus then dissapeared for awhile? Always wondered why.
