And in other news, the Johnson & Johnson single dose vaccine in their trial provided 85% protection against severe illness and 100% protection against hospitalization and death from Covid. That's something to cheer.

Yea from the people that brought you the opioid crisis and cancerous baby powder.....https://www.drugwatch.com/manufacturers/johnson-and-johnson/

Thanks Spook. That data is very useful and a wealth of relevant information.

Has the british varient made much impact on the continent

European countries indicate the following proportions of B.1.1.7
among all cases sequenced in recent weeks:
Denmark 27% [13], France 13.2% (based on ThermoFisher scientific screening, before sequencing confirmation) [14], Germany 5.6% [15], Ireland 75%, Italy 17.8% [16], the Netherlands >30% [17], Poland 9%, Portugal 45%, Spain 0.453% (depending on the region) [18], Sweden 11%[19].
These figures vary in terms of sampling strategy used, time-period covered and screening method and, therefore, cannot be directly compared. In countries carrying out sequencing during recent weeks, the proportion of B.1.1.7 cases among all sequenced cases appears to be almost doubling each week, strongly suggesting that the variant is on course to become more dominant than the strains previously circulating in the EU.

Are the UK covid figures dropping like a stone over the past week or so? I think UK covid figures are less than Ireland at the moment.

I haven't 7 or 5 day averages to hand but they had more new cases per 1M than us today.

Yup more spoofing from him

The plan from the leaks is to keep the economy shut for at least 6 months of the year

Very hard to get people to spend and get jobs back when he's on about a very cautious reopening

You clearly watched the show with a pre agenda of coming on here calling Leo a spoofer.

No matter what he said you where going to vent.

Interesting! Think I read the US are the same in some places, seeing a big drop and it's not related to vaccines etc.

A well-known Dublin salon owner has lifted the lid on when he thinks hairdressers will open again while also spilling the beans on 'black market barbers'.

Dylan Bradshaw is resigned to the fact that barbers and hairdressers will not reopen until mid-April at least.

But the popular hair stylist bemoaned the fact that back-street haircuts are booming - while struggling businesses in the cut-throat industry comply with rules designed to save lives.

Speaking after Leo Varadkar's shock announcement that hairdressers and beauticians would return "way later" than March 5, Bradshaw said the delay did not come as a surprise.

Hundreds - possibly thousands - of millions of euro were sent out of the country on Amazon and similar serviced in the three months of our "six week lockdown".

There was absolutely nothing stopping Irish stores, owned by Irish people, having a one-in, one-out rule, and implementing social distancing within their stores.

The utter, systematic and orchestrated destruction of our country's economy at the behest of a fanatic is going to go down in history alongside the very worst things any government of any country has ever done.

Also nothing stopping them setting up a website and doing deliveries. plenty of businesses thrived doing just that.

Would be very tough to compete with Amazon in their own back yard.

You really do love making grand proclamations and engaging in wartime hyperbole don't you.

And the US. Cases and hospitalisations are plummeting and are now at levels not seen since October. My state has gone from 2000+ cases per day in January to under 300 today and thats with everything open the whole time (with capacity limits). Even places like Florida who have had no restrictions for months are seeing huge decreases. It cant solely be the effect of vaccines already

Isn’t the drop in us cases due to a change in how the pcr test is done

I think that's part of it for sure. But the number of hospitalisations shouldn't be effected by that and it is also dropping.

Yes, I tried to order a WFH monitor from Elara last week.
I had to give up after an hour and switch to Amazon whose Monitor-specific layout and way better filtering made it painless.
Maybe there are better Irish online IT retailers than Elara.
