    I rarely get to do this, but I found some good news.
    Our google mobility data suggests that from Christmas Day onwards, the Irish people have copped on and realised how serious this is and from then on we increasingly altered our behaviour.

    We haven't seen a dislocation from normality like this since March. I can say with some confidence now that any restrictions applied should work well and maybe even kick in a little earlier than restrictions usually would.

    Yes. The guidance from NPHET now is that we need to take to the boats...

    if you build a boat in the upstairs bedroom all you have to do is destroy the roof / ceiling and you're set

    Many ski resorts have opened up again despite being a driver of cases last year. And there's talk of allowing crowds at cheltenham.
    Meanwhile they are closing schools and construction.
    You really couldn't make it up.

    Some leaders have gotten it so wrong. While ours haven't be quite as bad as UK, they weren't far off.

    It took 3 waves to bring in travel restrictions.

    dry cough

    tiredness

    Less common symptoms:



    aches and pains

    sore throat

    diarrhoea

    conjunctivitis

    headache

    loss of taste or smell

    a rash on skin, or discolouration of fingers or toes

    Serious symptoms:

    difficulty breathing or shortness of breath

    chest pain or pressure

    Study from UK: decrease in deaths as priority groups vaccinated. Late Feb when top 4 groups vaccinated (care home residents, healthcare workers, over 70s and extremely vulnerable) the lethality of the virus should fall by 90%.


    So we can open up at level 2 or 3 in March?

    We don’t control what the U.K. does or mainland Europe. Although allowing Ski slopes to open shows a different attitude to the pandemic by several mainland European countries than the prevailing attitude here.

    Switzerland kept ski resorts open and is now talking about closing schools.

    My understanding is that the antigen test is fantastic for groups and populations but completely useless for an individual because the margin for error is so wide?

    Your understanding is wrong, look at Slovakia. Antigen test is game changer they said, test the majority of the population over a weekend they said... yeah was a failure complete failure. US also used Antigen tests are they are not in great shape either.

    Antigen tests are more useful for daily testing or for use in 3rd world countries that don’t have readily access to molecular resources.

    Do you live outside of Ireland? What relevance does people being able to ski have in Ireland?

    I don't see what the issue with skiing is anyway, it's no different to any other type of individual outdoor activity and queues / lifts etc can easily be managed to maintain social distancing.

    Aprés ski was almost certainly the source of the infections we imported back in spring.

    Yeh its crazy. They showed pictures on the news of ski resorts the other day. Gangs of people crowded into lifts. No wonder the Swiss are seeing some of the worst daily deaths in the world, regularly over 100 a day.

    There are loads of people who went away for Christmas. Who are still travelling. And no requirement for them to quarantine as there is no enforcement.

    But yeah lets close the rest of the shops that's sure to so it.

    I'm not sure. That's not about NZ response. It's about the contrast in leadership vs lack of leadership.

    The UK bringing in border controls is a tacit admission that maybe telling people they have to live in a bubble and not see anyone to suppress a virus while simultaneously allowing anyone in, is perhaps not the best long term approach.

    Great to see them and us pivot / U turn on this.

    Even more shocking for a country with an advanced and well funded healthcare system.

    Some regions not only kept ski resorts open but also the resort restaurants, while shutting restaurants outside the resorts. One of my quotes of the year is the Canton Vaud (administrative region) chief medical officer statement:

    "We believe that there is a health benefit in allowing families who ski to be able to have a hot chocolate. We do not want to let a child eat his sandwich in the snow at noon"

    (Google translate of: "Nous estimons qu'il y a un intérêt sanitaire à permettre aux familles qui skient de pouvoir prendre un chocolat chaud. Nous ne voulons pas laisser un enfant manger sous la neige son sandwich à midi" https://www.lacote.ch/articles/regions/vaud/vaud-ferme-samedi-soir-ses-restos-sauf-sur-ses-pistes-de-ski-1022414)
