    You'd like to think people can read and remember numbers at this stage and ignore the inane commentary!

    We won't have 700k vaccinated in q1. No where close. Astra Zenaca problems.

    The target was 700k people or 1.4 million doses.

    I have no faith in AstraZenaca vaccine. Their data was all over the place and they kept changing their mind about its effectiveness.

    Its a dud, we are in trouble that this is one EU have placed biggest orders on.

    I also don't have any faith in it been able to be adapted for different strains.

    The Pfizer or Modern ones are they way to go.

    Interpretation is key alright

    Paul Reid, CEO of the HSE, has said that there has been a modest decrease in the number of patients we have seen in hospital, and we are seeing the first hopeful sign in many many weeks.

    Now I'm not arguing that hospital numbers still aren't high

    I doubt Mr Reid would claim it would be a modest increase in the numbers of patients in hospital if it was the other way around

    It's the framing of things in as negative a light as possible

    Really talking up the NPHET letter about "we will all find it challenging to maintain the very low levels of social contact and adherence to social distancing and hygiene measures required to maintain suppression".

    That was always going to be the case especially in a long term lockdown

    Sweet suffering Jesus, looks like 100 easily together in Ballymun releasing balloons for the lad who died. Not a mask to be seen. Only one with one and it’s down around the nose. Ffs.

    He hasn't talked yet.

    Philip Nolan was broadly positive. All metrics of the disease continue to decline, obvious huge effort made by the public and we could be - could be - in the region of 200-400 cases a day by the end of February, which is a far better projection than we could have predicted a few weeks ago.

    Only thing getting us out of this is vaccines.

    All hugging each other, it’s a joke. That area has one of the highest rates in Dublin. Really is infuriating, I didn’t go to my grandparent funeral last month due to restrictions and trying to do the right thing.

    Would be great. If we're at that level might nearly make sense to try and reduce it even more by extending restrictions a few weeks at start of March. Might not be popular but could mean cases take longer to rise after reopening so have a more sustainable reopening.

    If you stand in a field well apart from others you can, it's all the getting up close and personal that causes the problems.

    It's inevitable the government will extend restrictions even at those levels imo

    Another month would take them past the Easter Bank Holiday

    Then a painfully slow reopening after that

    But they stood in a field all bundled on top of each other. And were up close and personal while they were at it

    On the news there are many more than that photo, there were plenty of adults all hugging and no masks. Those teenagers go home and it spreads. Ballymun has one of the worst case levels in Dublin.

    A kid dies, people mourn him outside and they go home.

    Do you think they care tbh.

    I'd imagine they're in shock and functioning at a very base level right now. I don't think the pigeons are high on their list of priorities. They've thrown caution to the wayside even with regard to their own health.

    A cousin of mine at a funeral I did manage to attend in Nov did try and give me a hug and when I jumped about six feet away instantly they said "We don't have to think about that today", I told them go away and feck off with that.
