I'm not listening but Donnelly certainly has been talking up/threatening another lockdown all this week

He was being a little bit condescending there! General public too stupid to understand complicated measures so maybe we just need to lock it all down. Let's not mention that his colleagues are the ones that didn't 'understand' the guidelines.

Wtf how is the t cells thing "right wing"? It isn't. Have a Google there. Theres plenty of sources that aren't fox news. Including the new york times and the NIH and various scientific publications. The relentless politicizing of this virus is becoming tiresome.

(And yes, I'm still in vegas before you come back with your usual snide question to insinuate that I can't be on the ireland thread.)

That's very interesting, but I don't see what relevance it has to the question of what percentage of the population has been exposed to the virus...?

And we still don't have a vaccine. 2 years is an optimistic view.

Not sure what it's like in the rest of EU and worldwide, but here, once the schools go back, the whole idea of being in the thick of a national emergency will go out the window. The surreal nature of the times has pretty much gone already but that will be it.

There was an abysmal response to the antibody survey; only 35% of those selected agreed to take part. They 'weighted' the results.

No really #InThisTogether.

28 antibody positive in Dublin, and 5 in Sligo (=3.1%, 0.6%).

Needs to be a much larger survey conducted and not merely antibodies but t-cell responses as antibodies are only part of the picture.

Disappointing response rate, but they could hardly force people to take part.

The one thing these studies can't measure though is the percentage of people that were exposed to the virus, but never got infected, or not enough to register an antibody response.

The number of people who become infected but do not register antibody responses seems to be very small. Antibody studies in Indian cities, Kabul , parts of New York and Lombardy all reported antibody presence in upwards of 50-60% of their populations. Even in the very unlikely event 100% of the people in these regions were infected, infected who don't present with antibodies are a minority in comparison with those who do. It's looking increasingly likely that the T cell theory will not be our saviour.

Having said that the Irish antibody study is of far too small a scale to give any reliable indicator of spread.

Independent said he wanted to explore some of the Wild Atlantic Way. Taking in numerous places I guess. Though he’s probably spent most of today dealing with this mess so I’d wager he wouldn’t be getting to enjoy it much.

And spanish flu burned through everyone pretty quick, infecting up to 1/3rd of the global population at the time. We've certainly slowed it

To be fair the Spanish flu lasted two years as it reached different parts of the globe at different times. It didn't last two years everywhere. Many places had a much shorter experience of it. Albeit a far more deadly one than COVID-19.

Community transmission creeping up slowly but surely, as expected.

Of the under 45s, statistically speaking and conservatively calculating, that would mean of the 59 infected 2 may end up in hospital, none in ICU and none will die. We want to continue to see more younger people infected than older and the key metric of no spike in deaths. Positive news today. Further restrictions talk is nonsense in this context.
