    The BioNtech founder said his mRNA vaccine platform is going to change the world of medicine and they will produce a tonne of vaccines that wouldn't have been able to vaccinated against before.

    It was probably brought up last night but wasn't keeping updated.

    Do ye reckon this means 700,000 have received their second vaccine and are fully vaccinated or a combination of people having received 1st and 2nd vaccines?

    When he says people you'd assume 2nd dose but just wary of government spin to inflate the figures.

    There was a reference to 1.4m doses so hopefully its 2nd dose

    Are there some people who would never get Covid? For example say there was no restrictions at all ever would it result in the whole world getting it or would some people just never get it and what percent? I think I know what the answer will be but it would be interesting to hear peoples views on this

    Some people will not get infected due to herd immunity or pure luck. But once they travel, they might still get exposed and infected.

    The HSE has never, and never will, have that capacity. Presumably the poster took the number of people who have flu jabs each year against the time over which that is carried out, but forgetting that much of that is private and through corporate healthcare plans.

    The COVID vaccine, quite rightly, will be managed by public healthcare providers only across the EU

    151 on April 9th per the dashboard.

    Not sure if it's a record or not (158) but it's definitely a record at the time of the morning update

    Ah thanks. That would be some going.

    If it's 1.4m doses between now and end of March would be 116,667 doses per week if my maths are right (assuming it's all a 2 dose vaccine).

    Guess it could ramp up a bit quicker if the J and J one is approved and delivered soon though.

    Paul Reid was on twitter a couple of hours ago saying there was 143 in icu....

    He should have known full well that was inaccurate.....

    And then the parrot fergal bowers reports it on RTE

    Tbf if all the GPs and pharmacists are vaccinating people, you can easily do that in a month if you .ave the supply

    Poor

    He tweets every morning recently with that mornings hospital numbers and the previous evening icu figures.

    Everyone knows what his tweets mean. I do agree that it doesn't make sense but he has done it every day for a good while.

    Cheers.

    I was wondering.

    The dashboard is of course here

    https://covid19ireland-geohive.hub.arcgis.com/pages/hospitals-icu--testing

    It contains the daily 11am icu figures as updated every morning.

    For what it's worth and am based in clonmel but all my family have had their first dose of the vaccine bar myself, mother works in a local nursing home, father works the laundry/delivery for HSE and sister is ward nurse, she described it as military precision as there is 6 doses per vial, vial can't be moved much and has to be consumed quickly once mixed and ready to go, can see why it's not as straightforward as many (myself included) would think.

    Hospitals still going exponential. Hopefully it'll level off.

    Throwing some serious shade there.

    Germany are really having difficulty getting their numbers down. After their initial Xmas spike, they're back down to early November levels, which are still not good.

    There are many, many careers that will be made out of sociology studies on this and why some countries were able to get it way down, when other countries failed to suppress it given the same measures.

    What is even more interesting is that Germany did a great job of suppressing the first wave, but can't seem to do it this time. Similar to Czechia which had nearly no 1st wave, and now has huge problems.

    Are they planning to vaccinate people who already had covid? Reports today saying if you've already had it, it's better than getting a vaccine.

    What reports, where?

    Is it true that the average hospitalisation after a positive diagnoses is 13 days?

    So for example if you take the average cases on any given day, they will translate into potential hospital cases within 13 days?

    Would that mean it’s reasonable to expect the next 2 weeks to be possibly the toughest hospital numbers wise? I’d imagine Exhaustion and weeks of a stretched healthcare system could then be the issue in Feb.

    Which makes me wonder is a covid surge inevitable. Eventually like us at Christmas, everything lines up to create a perfect storm and covid spreads through the community.
    Even with vaccine rollouts, unless Australia and New Zealand continue their strict border control and quarantining will they eventually get a surge cases in their countries.

    There is some suggestions testing in Germany wasn't as amazing as it was claimed. July/August was little different to normal, bars open with fairly minimal measures, actually kind of scary after being brain washed by Dr T and his crew. That said the Germans obey rules and had a lot less of the Irish ah sure it will be grand approach

    Numbers took off towards the middle of September and kept going
    1. Schools went back
    2. Weather got worse
    3. Returning from holidays, Croatia in particular brought a surge, Dublin airport might have been dead but it was buzzing in Tegal in Berlin

    Both of them responded very fast in March and Germany had the capacity to test and treat. The Czechs lost the plot, threw a party for the death of COVID and by the time they took the next surge seriously it was too late. The Germans were less so but did relax, like all of us, too much. For all the grumbling here, the tedium and extended nature of the first one drilled us, as a people, to respond much faster to impending doom. While some may have been slack we seem better able to follow the advice.

    I think its 10 not 13.

    Also it would be more related to swabs than cases.

    That said we are catching cases a day or two later at the moment (no tracing of close contacts) so it might 8 days at the moment.

    Have 5 friends/relatives that have got vaccinated as healthcare workers so far. It's great when you know people getting it. Makes it all a bit more real!
