Based on statistic modelling with vaccine best case roll out factored in. It’s not a great surprise.

Galwayhurl's post is too far back for me to thank but I fully agree with the sentiment. I detest MM. Dont forget he was the only one left from the FF administration who ran the country over the cliff in 2008.That he survived and now leads the land says more about us than him Im afraid. Varadkar is also repulsive but to a lesser degree.
So I had better things to do on a beautiful evening than listen to that cretin.
Allowing stuff that people have been doing for ages now. Beggars belief that we allow them get away with it with barely a murmer of protest.

It wasn't.

But it states in that article that there was no cases of hospitalisation or deaths in the study.

So is the vaccine really 10% efficacious? I would give it a 100% efficacy score there.

With a median age of 30 in the study that's hardly surprising. Unfortunately the vaccine in its current form doesn't work against the variant and the variant looks to be on the way to us. All the threats of public unrest and wishing away reality on this thread won't change that.

You can see why the government don't want to set out a longer term road map though. If they set out a realistic one there would be a national meltdown.

So let's say retail like Pennyes probably will be open last week of May? First week will be click and collect and then garden centres.

Garden centres are already open, well ones near me are anyway

Except they have forgotten the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS with natural immunity already to the whole blasted thing not just the spike protein

Yep, they should have added people that tested positive to the list. This is what some other countries are doing, for example Bahrain.

Why? Because they tested positive for Covid? We'll be filling up the Liffey with Covid cases if we take that approach.

No, just the reality of the situation. The SA variant is already widely spreading in France. The UK scientists have already publicly accepted that they can only delay its arrival, they can't keep it out forever. Once it's in the UK it will be in NI and then here. The current vaccines are only 10% to 30% effective against it, not near enough to counter it.

But it's not here yet and there's still a chance to save the summer before it arrives.

It’s already here - there have been multiple cases both north and south of the border. Those vaccine figures were reported for mild to moderate illness, who cares about that. Figures for severe illness aren’t known yet.

Because there is only one voice in the media here, it actually facilitates the madness. It's what partially facilitates the failed politics... question the current covid dogma ? You're a granny killer... I was checking the weather the other day on phone, I I actually scrolled past a covid headline and was disgusted with myself. I cant handle reading the same **** different year for months at this stage. Its insufferable

2 households? What happens if a 3rd vaccinated person shows up?

Chase them out of the house and into the street. Maybe throw a spatula at them.

Unbelievable

No holidays so this year either. They’re only going to “ look” at the hospitality sector in June so God knows when hotels or pubs will open. I’m so depressed with the whole thing. The minute I get a vaccine I’m off abroad on about a month’s holiday. Probably October at this rate.

TonyMaloney · 30-03-2021 08:45PM

I'm a little surprised we're easing restrictions as much as we are. I'll reserve judgement on them until I see how closely the gov has followed NPHET advice. That said I'm really looking forward to getting out and about all over Dublin again.

With the R number hovering around 1, a large cohort of kids yet to go back to school, and the various restrictions that are to be eased in the coming month - we are likely to see some fairly large daily cases numbers before this ends.
Or at least we would have prior to vaccines beginning available at scale. That is a true game changer.

It'll make for nervous watching, but it'll be exciting too. I think that within a couple of months we'll really start to kick the **** out of this virus.

namloc1980 · 30-03-2021 08:45PM

FG calling it adjusted Level 5. Look at the bit about "vaccine bonus"!!? Comical if it all wasn't so serious.

So are we really staying at level 5 to May?
With a few tweaks but it looks like level 5 to me.

It's basically Level 4 with the hope of moving into level 3 in May.

Honestly Tony, you need to get a different hobby man. Getting excited about an increase in cases and worrying about how "fast" we are opening up are not healthy signs.

A real game changer would be getting a few nice IPA's and sitting out by a canal of river and enjoy some friends company.

If it's level 4 then the passport office should be open. Will wait for next week to see. Although knowing the backlog that's built up I'd imagine it will be months before I can get a renewed passport for myself and the kids.

Are we approaching the point where the hospitality and retail sectors decide to open their doors on a specific date yet? Now that's a protest I would get behind.

Either that or they sit on the sidelines earning €350 (that eventually needs to be paid back) for the next 3 months minimum.
