Who are those people?

I read it!

What part are you implying that I missed?

It says Ireland would likely recieve 2 million doses based on population size, not that we would revive any more than anyone else in Europe? It also says only part of this would be delivered this year

2 millions doses is 1 million recipients I believe. Each person would get 2 doses on 2 different dates.

No surprise Toby has it, the White House staff have been riddled with it.

Surprised to see so many anti vaxxers on boards.ie lately!

The thing about anti vaxxers is that they object to having a regulatory approved vaccine, yet many wouldn’t hesitate to snort a dodgy line off a toilet or swallow pills they bought at some festival.

So do they really matter?

not rushing to be first in the queue for a rushed vaccine is very different to Been an anti vaxxer

When we reckon the vaccine will be here?

Christmas Day.

Take it after the prawn cocktail but before the turkey/ham.

BEFORE THE MAIN COURSE OR YOU WILL BE IN SIDE EFFECT CITY

It was raining here the other day. I blame the pubs. Bastards. It's all their fault for everything.

Personally I blame NPHET for the bad weather. They seen to controlling everything:rolleyes:

Why wouldn't they?
With less community transmission and less transmission amongst the population in general it's less likely to make it into the schools.

I was been sarcastic at said poster who was called out a few days ago on some of the contradictory posts he made about schools and had disappeared since.

It seems we can't win according to this research on (non-pharmaceutical interventions)NPIs, i.e. masks and distancing, which may make outbreaks of other diseases more likely.

These actions also have greatly reduced incidence of many other diseases, including influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

Current reductions in these common respiratory infections, however, may merely postpone the incidence of future outbreaks

It was relatively high sample size and will be monitored after for any potential side effects. Think FDA asks for at least 2 months of data, wouldn't be approved by them or EMEA if any concerns over safety. Say by time it's available to people outside risk groups, lot more people will have taken it and lot of time passed to assess also.

in general across all the vaccine candidates they will really look at the short term safety profile of the vaccines...however one thing that we just won't know and will have to accept won't be available for a few years is long term data - both in terms of long term safety profile of the drugs and long term efficacy data of the drugs...

that's the trade off for returning back to something close to normal

Where's the school thread gone that was active every minute 3 weeks ago?

Why does it seem like Covid has peaked in Europe?

It was 2 weeks from disaster 10 days ago

They introduced lockdown but that would be too soon to have an effect

Honestly Belgium, etc was supposedly on fire 2 weeks ago

Cases are dropping

These things peak naturally, it's why they're called "waves"

It's basically a big pyramid scheme. Eventually the virus runs out of hosts and cases begin to decline.

This is either because it's run rampant or because people are modifying their own behaviour to reduce contact with others.

The only thing we can influence is how high the peak is. Like you say, many countries in Europe have been on fire for the last 2-3 weeks.

People will naturally modify their own behaviour when they see how bad it is, but it's also not correct to say that Europe only started doing anything about it recently. They have been incrementally introducing restrictions over the past six weeks.

Given the 2-4 week lag between hospitalisations and deaths, it's going to be a grim start to December for many countries.
