A few weeks ago there was an article in one of the papers saying a quarter of all fines for breaching covid regulations were handed out in Cork and Kerry.

This suggests that they are enforcing regulations a lot better and that this has driven up compliance.

It does not suggest that. Lots of people driving 10 or 20K to a beach and all being given a ticket will get a lot of fines for the Guards, but not a single case of covid might it spread.

Have the UK not granted marketing authorisation to AZ by now?

Surely emergency authorisation was just needed so they could get cracking in December!?

I can't find any evidence that they did.

Perhaps they did and it didn't hit the new news sources as nothing really would change.

As of 23 February it was a emergency marketing

ICU down from 75 to 67.

No admissions with 4 discharges so likely some deaths

Where are we with Non ICU numbers now?

This south African strain is so deadly that South Africa opened up 2 weeks ago. Bars and all open.

Yup. You can say the same about the UK variant in the UK (or Kent variant) as they call it. And the outbreak of the SA variant in my old neighbourhood of Putney (resulting in a postcode targeted mass testing regime) fizzled out with no impact in Wandsworth infection rates (despite being heavily populated and everyone out and about)

Apparently Glynn mentioned that vaccinations won't have such an effect until 40-50% of the adult population are vaccinated. And they've told government that even with all the vulnerable vaccinated, every 1000 cases would still lead to 35 additional hospitalisations, which is not sustainable.

Wait, did he says this exact numbers? That means an hospitalization rate of ~3.5% of the cases, while right now it seems to be (from the hspe reports) anywhere between ~4% and ~7%. So full vaccination would barely halve the hospitalization rate?
Haven't the studies so far shown that all vaccines basically protect 100% (or close enough) against hospitalization? How can he claim that?

Looks like we're stuck on 500-700 cases for the foreseeable

This part of the new quarantine looks fun

‘On arrival into Dublin Airport, those entering who have to undergo mandatory quarantine will first be greeted by the board of management unit in the airport, in a separate area to other passengers.

They are then brought down to custom officials where they collect their bags and are then handed over to the Defence Forces.

Passengers are then brought by a hotel bus to the hotel. The Defence Forces will escort the bus in another vehicle.’

Poor soldiers, all that training to end up doing this pantomime.

At what point are they tested before leaving for the building.

He's stating 40-50% of the adult population and then all vulnerable people. Is he talking about 40-50% of adults vaccinated, we'll still see 3.5% hospitalisation or once the vulnerable are vaccinated, we'll see 3.5% hospitalised?
Or are the two the same? He should really be more clear.

3.5% of unvaccinated adults outside the vulnerable groups.

It's not clear what cohorts he was including in that vulnerable listing. The 3.5% also seems rather high. I suspect that's the upper range of the estimate.

You're probably right but the schools closing the next 2 weeks should help. Easter weekend might negate this though!

7 Day averages for Swabs:
26/03: 612 +15.6%
19/03: 529
12/03: 520
05/03: 590
That's a pretty big jump week on week.

Collected my kids from school at 12, they came out with all their books and copies in their bags like before Christmas, hope that's not a sign that they won't be going back after Easter

Qrt

Went to the Walk-In centre yesterday, have to say it was very well run. It was my first covid test too so it was a decent excuse to get out of the house. They said it would be ~24 hours for a result, hopefully get a result soon.

Definitely a better day of numbers than last Friday looking at those.
