How do you see whats been outline for May being able to happen and not have a rise in social contacts?

If the govt listen to the NPHET narrative I'd be pessimistic about it tbh

There is an ongoing message that NPHET will continue to push. I genuinely wonder if anyone is even listening to it any more. From our perspective the only concern is if case rises present a reason for May plans to be reversed.

Do you have any idea of the dates that things will reopen in May?

The problem is the government are listening and wont go against NPHET.

They really take the positivity out of everything. They must be the most pessimistic bunch of people to ever assemble in one place.

They really dont see the economic damage their approach is causing as they sit on 6 figure salaries.

I honestly can’t believe it is 2.5 weeks away from May and no mention of anything...They will delay everything until late May again...

This is becoming RIDICULOUS. I’m actually leaning towards the conspiracy idea of ‘they want to lock us up/control us’.

So high risk under 60 get second dose on schedule, non high risk under sixty extended to 16 weeks for second dose

The WHO statement is a very general type of statement, it just includes info we already know, cases rising in some EU countries, vaccination levels at different stages etc. The headline of 'it's not over yet' is just obvious right? Nothing substantial, but not that I think that was the intention anyway, just a subtle warning type one they have done throughout.

You mean the message of doom and gloom like the one below from Ronan Glynn?

You would be very stupid to do this.

I get the frustration, but you look at Nolan, Glynn etc and tell me they want to keep everyone locked up and under control. They don’t. They’re just as f*cked as the rest of us.

If everyone over 60 remaining is given AZ during Q2 + the 2nd doses for those already after one dose of AZ it should soak up a lot of the supply in that regard.

Not ideal, but manageable.

So we're down 20% of vaccinations for under 60's.

Any update on how this affects us going forward?

We're banking on them saying no more dose 1 of Pfizer or Moderna for over 60s in that case. I hope they go that way but who knows.

The issue is going to be logistical now also.

Can't see how they hit 180-190k this week or next week as there's a significant change involved.

Maybe I'll eat my words but just can't see it.

If you're under 60 and not high risk they're extending the AZ interval to 16 weeks... That is not going to go down well with healthcare workers.

Oh wait...

Positive commentary is **** all good if they don't back it up with some recommendations for releasing restrictions.

According to Gavin Reilly HCWs are classed as high risk?

Eh,NO , their livelihoods aren’t at risk

But they never say anything positive according to the fearmongers here.

So which is it?

And they already recommended easing restrictions. What did you call what happened today?

I'm a healthcare worker and also have asthma. I wonder if they'd just feckin give me the second dose. I feel like setting something on fire after hearing the news just now.

Luckily it's cold enough to justify lighting the fire in April. 2020 was actually grand in retrospect.

So you think they want to keep us locked down forever?

You think they want to control everything going on here and have all the power?

You think their livelihoods aren’t at risk? Yes they have jobs but they also have families and young children. They want to actually ruin their lives too? You think Glynn wants to put himself in the firing line?

How about you actually stop reading what Mags says on Facebook and actually think about the absolute sh*te you are posting before you do so?

Bunch of George Lees in here today. Genuinely baffling some of the absolute sh*te that comes out of people’s fingers.

Christ, dude , take a chill pill

And yes I do think they want to keep up locked down for a long time,with the latest ****up in vaccines and the threat of more variants and a 4th wave ,there is no end in sight

You said their livelihoods aren’t at risk when it’s total bullsh*t from a doom merchant such as yourself. Livelihood isn’t just about jobs you know?

Would you like to hold your hands up and admit you over-reacted when you made that statement? It’s perfectly acceptable to say something out of frustration but at least row back and own it when you’re called out on your bollocks.

I think he means most people under 60 that have got a 1st dose are healthcare workers. The risk definition as per NIAC relates to medically high risk, not occupation.

My job in the entertainment industry looks like it won’t be happening this year at least,
I’m no doom merchant but it’s ****in hard to be optimistic.

And I stand by my statement, All in this together,bollox.

My reading of that is he is saying HCW are mostly not high risk.

Won't it be very convenient when instead of getting their second dose, people have to wait four weeks longer and there is all that extra suppy there then.

Although the first lot who were vaccinated are still only 60% protected.

That's a good one. I like this one. Not exactly sure the relevance but pretty deep.
