    I think the point is they are still at these sudden lockdowns. They could well be at it again when life here is more normal!

    So there has been leaks that restrictions on gatherings will be in place until Autumn . Which is then peak season for hospitals being overrun so won't be relaxed then

    So we are really looking at late spring start of summer 2022

    Yeah seems to tally near enough with this vaccination graph here, it says Ireland will achieve full vaccination in about two and a half years.

    And if they get a timeline they don't like, they'll whinge and moan on boards all day an night about it. No winning with some people.
    Our timeline has always been that godforsaken 3-4 weeks, not months on end. I expect a relaxing of restrictions in April but am hopeful we might see some in March.

    When was this graph made and does it allow for multiple vaccines?

    The likelihood that vaccination continues at this slow rate is highly unlikely. Likely to be much better in a month or two

    Unlikely is being very generous, the rate is ramping up by over 60% this week, they're saying a million by the end of March.....

    Believing those graphs is like believing it'd take 3 days to fly to New York because the bus to the airport only went 50kph........

    Whoever is coming up with this sort of stuff is just creating propaganda to get people angry. They know full well that supply would be ramping up in Q2, but they're pushing this bull**** narrative that vaccines will be rolled out extremely slowly.

    There's many that wish to promote this rubbish and downplay the vaccines as evidenced on this thread many times.

    The difference is the underlying aim is to reopen things as soon as it is seen as feasible not until some undetermined "low level" is achieved. Using Staines as an example that is at least September. There'll be a lot more doing by then, our way.

    That's some stretch to find a difference. Opening when "feasible" is more vague than when cases are at a "low level". You can define one (10 per 100,000 population 14 day rate, low community transmission), not the other - what does feasible really mean?

    If you keep opening when you think it's "feasible" you are in truth just condemning yourself to another lockdown once it is no longer "feasible". You are still arguing that there is some kind of mystical balance that can be struck and maintained. And this is the preferable approach somehow.

    5 days turns into 2 weeks, 2 weeks into 2 months. We all know how it goes.

    Have you a link for the rate ramping up? I'd like to see an updated version of the rollout plan, but all I can find is yon month-old Fine Gael tweet chart which suggests they're starting to vaccinate cohorts 4-12 at the beginning of April.

    So far in New Zealand or Australia this has not been the case. I think you are mixing up our infinite unending lockdowns with what has happened elsewhere.

    Australia had one of the most draconian and tightly restricted lockdowns in the world last year that lasted near on 6 months.

    This Australia lockdown has gone from 3 months to 5 months to 6 months on this thread...

    Few of you seemed to notice it was only a lengthy lockdown in one state in Australia, 75% of the country was open most of the time.

    Not to hand but I'll have a quick dig around. It's gonna be 40,000 pfizer/moderna and then 35000 az.

    What does it matter, it tallied with what Sweet Science was saying about summer 2022.

    It wouldn't be hard to have 75% of there country open when no one lives in it.

    Actually it doesn't tally. What you posted suggests vaccination will only be completed in 2+ years. You can't say when the graph was produced , you can't say did it take into consideration the presence of serval vaccines. I personally believe posting stuff you have no information about is irresponsible.
    What does it matter? Are you serious?

    Pfizer should start upping production around now. They announced last week they had cut production time by almost 50% and new facilities are coming online now. They have more production facilities coming onboard in april

    Not sure when AZ will organise themselves, they should be able to double production rates in the next few weeks.

    Moderna should ramp up next month.

    HSE website has the current rollout plan, no predicted numbers as it's all up in the air until the manufacturers commit to secure delivery numbers.

    I'm holding my belief that:

    1) Govt. haven't a clue as it's all down to the manufacturers
    2) Manufacturers will get their acts together in the next month or so
    3) Piles of vaccines will become available
    4) Vaccines to everyone that wants one (75-80% of people?) by June/July.
    5) April/May - outdoor dining/drinks
    6) June/July, open the pubs.
    7) August/September, foreign holidays.

    That's 75% by population. It's 97% by area if you want to be pedantic.

    Then you should be clearer in what you post.
    So in fact 97% of the country was not locked down because no one lives in.
