Sinn Féin want mandatory quarantine for ALL arrivals of non essential travel into the state including vaccinated uk and EU residents?! Meanwhile in the North, they’ll be able to go on foreign holidays in the summer where they’re also in power. What an absolute sh** show

Whatever your views on Sinn Fein in general, they've had no consistent policy on Covid in the north or south. The mandatory quarantine is a particularly bizarre idea from them, given (to be effective) it would require a hard border between north and south, and mandatory quarantine every time you cross the border.

Hospital numbers 8pm tonight

Total 642 (down from 676 last night)
ICU 149 (down from 154 last night)

Is less than 500 possible by next Monday?

Like a lot of their "policies" it sounds great to people who are not interested in how it would actually be achieved.

Just looking at the different groups for vaccine, in group 4 obesity is one of the medical conditions......would that have to be with other medical conditions or just it. Would be a lot of people with that condition. How do they manage that, would you have to have had a consultation with a doctor etc.....

Obesity is a major risk factor with covid on its own

NPHET first predicted 800-1300, which was revised down to 600-700. Now we look like we'll be very close to beating or else better than the most optimistic scenario they envisaged.

As he said, this idea that the R number has to be less than 1 is a strange thing to throw into the mix, once the vaccination campaign gets going.

Won't the R number factor in the effect of the vaccine? If we can't eventually get the R number below 1 with the vaccine, then things really will have gone tits-up.

I think this applies to all our political parties unfortunately.

Actually, I have a feeling that's the chap that became a doctor out of school and then went on to do law after medical school. And then he ran for election and became a TD at 28... and then got to be a minister from there.

If I have the right chap then he must be some kind of brilliant to have achieved all of that.

Mattie Mcgraw on the Tonight show is talking a bit of sense

Apart from saying Stephen Donnelly is doing a good job as can be expected :rolleyes:

Where can I find the list of vaccination groups including the group with underlying conditions moving up? I did a search online but I can't find it. What underlying conditions qualifies a person for vaccine? Is there a list of conditions anywhere?

Right I know the zero covid crowd are spoofers and all but let's not be holding up gript as some kind of holy grail of truth. Wait until Thursday? The man is blatantly just drying to drum up hype for his 'news' outlet.

Is Holly Cairns another Zero Covid follower?

She’s casting doubt on the vaccine aswell.

Do we care about the R number every Winter with the other Coronaviruses that cause the common cold? We don't because it doesn't matter if the whole country is infected with a dose of the sniffles. The hope is that this virus will be reduced to 'just another coronavirus' but it's the hospital cases and deaths that are the only metrics that matter in that respect.

What the fcuk does she know about vaccines. Very annoying the way variants are becoming weaponised for political motives at this stage
