You are comparing the fact Uk vaccinated 10 million people and saying that is twice over . You do understand the difference in population between the 2 countries? Or you just choose to ignore that fact?
Ireland have vaccinated 5 times the popula

1. tion of San Marino for instance. Round of applause for that.

.................regardless........its the scaling no matter what the population. The UK hope to have all their over 50's vaccinated by the end of May. What are our targets for our over 50's, our over 60's and even our over 70's............like when?
It will be hard on people here when we see our friends and family living in the UK jetting off on holidays in June. We have done a year of this now.

The targets for those age groups are published multiple times.
Jetting of where in June? Jetting off to other countries that still haven’t vaccinated their population and have travel restrictions? Don’t think that’s going to happen somehow.
I’m not disagreeing it’s **** , but there is a lot of hyperbole about how crap the vaccine rollout is.
the UK are off doing there own thing, broke away from the recommended dosing schedule .
If they did that here and their were any negative impacts we would be slated for not following.

I know. But getting sick of this ‘meaningful’ crap about Christmas. There was complacency but on balance we have done quite well as a country. Although the narrative over the last few weeks has become a bit horrible and bitter to be honest.

Depends on your definition of doing well. The only way we could have done worse was if we let the virus spread without restrictions which would have led to many multiples of the deaths we have seen.

I don’t think we have done good though. We are still using the rolling lockdown plan of last March with no consideration given to what we have learned since. I don’t think many are aware of the long term economic damage we are doing which will in reality restrict the lives of so many over the coming years.

And another point to add, we have administered every dose we have received. Bar a few 1000

I cant believe that the same bloody comparison comes up literally every day with no looking beyond the face value of it. It’s a wilful ignorance that only serves to fuel the same sense of outrage. I’m incredibly sceptical of the government, and I think they’re an incompetent bunch of boobs. But that doesn’t make them incapable of doing some things right. Our roll out of the vaccines THAT WE HAVE has been largely successful so far. But you could post til you’re blue in the face and some people will still not believe it.

If they are vaccinating as they get the vaccine then any criticism is unwarranted tbh.
Also to all those giving out about how the vaccinations are progressing. Currently the limiting factor is how many vaccines we are getting weekly. We are in the EU deal. How would Ireland of gotten a vaccine allocation without the EU. No way we could of competed with US, Canada, UK, France, Germany etc for supplies and we most likely would of paid more per vaccine due to our population. The EU hedged their bets and bought multiple vaccines more than the EU population.

How much will they gain from their rush and evidence free use of AZ on older people as they won't be out of lockdown before the summer fall off in the virus and by summers end we will have caught up, with out risking AZ on the elderly.

Also worth adding that we are fully back testing close contacts now. So this week was always going to be slowed progress.

The way things are going I don’t think too many will be jetting off anywhere in June. Every day we hear doubts being expressed by the medics about how effective the vaccines are in coping with new variants of the virus. There is very little definitive data yet and new variants are emerging all the time.
Not even the right wing politicians in the UK, despite their jingoism over the vaccine rollout, are recommending that anyone should be booking their foreign holiday in June.

There are multiple publications reporting that the U.K. is negotiating travel corridors with Greece, Majorca and other destinations from June onwards. The EU expects most of the vulnerable population to be vaccinated by then and many more.
Meanwhile we're being told to stay here, lose flight/holiday money on holidays moved to Summer 2021 and fork out a fortune to see the rain and wind at the same time.
This is so unfair on Irish citizens. Either force the airlines to cancel the flights and refund the tax paying citizens that have given up so much over this past year, or allow them to travel and organise it properly. I am disgusted at the finger wagging, vilification approach. It is not good enough.

That is a solid depreciation once again.

redarmy

827 new cases confirmed.

55 additional deaths

36 of these deaths occurred in February, 18 of these in occurred in January. One under investigation.

Oh the variants, what if this, what if that, what if a new virus emerges. The vaccines are effective against all current variants.

So you’re saying the vaccines are a waste of time? So how many years do you recommended we stay all shut down just incase a new variant pops up? 10 years? 20 years? 30 years? Maybe 50 years?

I suspect i won’t get an honest answer of your actual thoughts just a deflect reply.

Much lower percentage of cases have been in Dublin compared to previous two waves. I wonder why that is

Feels like some counties managed to avoid a lot of the first and second waves, but not the third - while cases in Dublin have been high all the time.

Look at the list. Where are Canada, Australia, Japan, Korea...., never mind most small non aligned countries.

An island with 100k people or oil states are not representative of the rest of the world.

Do you believe there a warehouses full of unclaimed vaccines?
