    Varadker saying we could have widespread immunity by September next year...

    It's the nature of IT. Even the biggest of tech companies run into "issues" occasionally.

    Finland plans to vaccinate social and healthcare workers in January, and the elderly and at-risk groups in February, and the rest of the population later in the spring - according to their chief of the vaccination programme unit. Finland has only a slightly higher population than Ireland, so they'll be receiving similar amounts of vaccines from the EU rollouts - realistically we could see a similar schedule in Ireland as well.

    We need to get to 70% coverage of the population, that's about 3.5m.

    Rarely if ever talked about the IT problems when cases was overreported..

    Cases have never been over reported on a total basis.

    There have been backlogs cleared, but at no point have the total overall cases reported exceeded total overall swabs.

    Nolan does not expect case numbers to decline much further than this.

    He's not being overly negative, but he did point that out - a fact that will be overlooked by a few.

    R number potentially as high as 1.

    Estimate is 0.8 to 1

    Whatever about the pubs part, the healthcare part is fairly obvious, you can see on the HSE Ops report nightly what hospitals are having issues with high reported cases

    Cases, hospital admissions and healthcare transmission are 3 to 4 times higher than they hoped at the ‘starting point’ of easing restrictions.

    Asking people to limit contacts as much as possible.

    Christ I've not watched George Lee in a while on rte but he says oh we've at least 100 cases not reported today.

    Ronan Glynns words were "Up to 100 cases"

    He's so excitable with the hint of negative news

    Many days we had big backlog cases added into daily reported cases increasing 5,7 day average. I don't recall anyone in NPHET saying todays reported number has cases from from the week before which was more than likely IT issues also.

    My point is I don't see the point of coming out about IT issues on a unreported number when those cases will be added in tomorrow or Saturday.

    Italy almost touched 1,000 deaths today at 993, more than their first peak (921) but their infection rate is dropping so hopefully deaths follow the drop soon

    Today they announced some pretty restrictive measures to prevent people moving around over the Christmas period including not travelling outside your home town on December 25th, 26th and January 6th and recommending no one visits someone else's house. Good luck to them with that.

    If you set the target too high you won't reach it

    I think that under 100 cases a day was unrealistic

    Things really deteriorating in the United States. Record cases, hospitalisations and deaths.

    They could break 3,000 deaths for today.

    It's the main population centers leading the resurgence now again. The CDC is warning the coming months will be the most difficult and costly in US medical history. And by costly they don't mean financially.

    "Stark warning from Philip Nolan.

    If R number goes to 2 over Christmas... we could see 800-1,200 cases per day by mid-January.

    Holohan says modelling data is what could happen. “We’re not trying to scare people... we’re implying very small changes to R number that we had before we went to Level 5.”

    Not trying to scare people lol

    Yeah right of course they are

    Just had a quick glance at this evening's press conference and Six One, the usual sh*t with Nolan talking about a graph that we can't see.

    George Lee jizzing himself over how worried the CMO is and about a "computer glitch" which has caused cases to be underreported. Really? Or did someone make a balls of an excel spreadsheet?

    I wonder how many other computer glitches there have been during this.

    Some mention of an issue with PPS number for vaccine rollout? Not sure as I wasn't paying much attention.

    If he said that, then he's editorialising. His job isn't to feel comfortable or not comfortable.

    These kinds of comments journalists makes, on air and on Twitter, just rub people up the wrong way.

    Journalists aren't there to advise how people should live, they are there to report the information and hold those in power to account.
