Look at the state they were in this time last year. We are probably benefiting from our nearest neighbour looking very much under control. Not so much herd imunity.with us at 13%. Cases will probably be on the floor everywhere in europe come June due to seasonality of virus anyhow.The benefit they have over us and europe now brings respite to their population, to politicians, to businesses.

He said that as of now they still consider the risks not important enough to stop people taking the vaccine but admitted that this could change. I've had a relative suffer from blood clotting issues in the past. I don't know enough about it to be comfortable taking this vaccine. If the EMA are admitting that they don't know enough about it yet to be certain then I'm definitely not taking it.

But that is clearly going to rapidly change in the next 12 weeks if EU deliveries go to plan. And so what if they open their shops and hospitality a few short weeks ahead of the EU? It hardly means anything in the general scheme of things.

Off book you.mean not sticking what was done in trial. Luke oneill posted only yesterday first dose gives most benefit and protection. Its not rocket science. NI have less than fifty cases a day to our 500 and they are opening up more rapidly. They have maximised the benefit of their supply. We have concentrated.it in too small a pool of people. We would probably be over 20% of first doses if we extended pfzier jabs. That gives a great lift to rest of population waiting and reduces overall disease in.community quicker.

On a like for like basis for both doses it 19 per 100 for Ireland v 55 per 100 for the UK. Remember 55 is only just over 25% of the total (ignoring single dose vaccines). Now the supply in the EU looks very good in the near term. That gap is likely to close.

They were desperate and they had to gamble and try the unproven route to get themselves out of catastrophic trouble. Ireland and most of Europe were in a much healthier position in terms of infection rates and were able to more comfortably follow the manufacturers guidelines. Obviously the risk has ended up paying off for the UK and they’re looking better right now, but only after suffering enormously to get where they are.

Covid has nowhere to go in UK with so many people with at least one dose. Our 13 per cent with at least one dose leaves alot of population vulnerable to infection and bigger pool for covid to infect. The quicker you give population some protection to start with the better. Second dose is a bonus for longer term imunity.

According to an Irish Examiner report, on Friday when inspecting a vaccination centre at Rome`s Leonardo da Vinci airport Mario Draghi noted that the pace, now running at 170,000 shots daily had picked up this month. At that rate it would mean around 1 million shots per week. For a total population of 60 million, unless vaccine deliveries fall completely off a cliff or Draghi got his figures wrong, then it is difficult to see where this October 2022 date comes from.

Irish Stones wrote: » The total number of shots for the last three days has been lower than the number of doses given on last Thursday or Friday alone, so it's clearly a slow down. Draghi's aim is 500k doses per day, and so far the average is 220k, that means that every time frame Draghi made has to be doubled. Yes, 220k/day means a little over 1 million shots per week, but this means only 500k+ people per week will be fully vaccinated. So my maths say that it will takes a couple of years (about 100 weeks) to hit the target of 50 millions. If things speed up a little, and no trouble, delays, lack of supply happen, those 100 weeks could become 70 weeks, that is a year and a half.

seamie78 wrote: » first point in relation to your maths, ignoring everything else wrong with your figures there are 7 days in a week, 220*7 gives 1.54 million doses at the lower number you quote
To summarise every part of your post is wrong down to the number of days in a week

Irish Stones wrote: » Generally it's a little slower during the weekends, so I'd say that it's more like 120k-150k per day during the weekends. On Easter day it was just 93k. On Monday, the figure was just 160k, if I don't go wrong. So this matches what I said in my previous post "a little over 1 million". Let's say 1.5 million per week, it takes 33 weeks to hit 50 millions (33 weeks are 8 months), but we have to consider the second shots (another 33 weeks?), and we're at 16 months, that is July/August 2022. Are you still saying I'm wrong?
