Well maybe you should log off for a while then. Its difficult enough to get through this bloody pandemic without misery-seeking doom merchants looking to nitpick every bit of positive information in a further attempt to wallow in bad news. Some people see to just want to drag everyone down into their own misery.

And some people just want to be really furious. That's the way of the world.

Considering there is 300,000 plus British people living in Rep of Ireland, you'd think the UK would at least vaccinate them, that would help us.

How many Irish people are living and currently getting vaccinated in the UK ?

OK, it looks like there is a new variant, but only 32 cases of it in the UK. Tweaks to vaccines should cover it anyway.

The variant, known as B1525, is the subject of a report by researchers at the University of Edinburgh, who say it has been detected through genome sequencing in 10 countries including Denmark, the US and Australia, with 32 cases found in the UK so far. The earliest sequences were dated to December and cropped up in the UK and Nigeria.

Why are they still holding these press conferences so late in the evening and at a time when it clashes with 6.1.

A bit of a joke.

Why not.

Clashing with 6.1 isn't important to me.

All the NPHET work. They have meetings and other stuff to do. The time suits. There's no need to change it.

The 7-day moving average has almost halved in the past month from a peak near 750k to ~385k

Or they could just hold the press conference earlier so we can watch it and evening bulletins can feature important lines from it.

Decision making can not be done on deaths reported on a given day.

We all know why.

I would imagine that a good few of those who have maintained ties (being registered with a GP, even if it’s historic) will be going back to get one. I still am registered with a GP in London so I for sure will be going back when it’s my time.

Considering all the criticism of RTE's coverage of the pandemic, I'm surprised anybody would be concerned about that particular clash.

Where did this come from? I'm from the UK and I'd hope that I am in line for the vaccine just like everyone else. I don't think it would make sense to leave people out as such a high ceiling is required to reach herd immunity.
