Amazing difference between the UK/Ireland and the rest of the continent.

While the continent is getting hammered with the third wave, its getting ever more difficult to persuade and find people willing to be vaccinated. Poland [current plague capital of the EU] opened registration for 40+ year olds today as the 60+ group had slowed down so much. Similar stories in Germany and France.

There may be a case in some countries to invert the age groups, by targeting the most active groups socially.

Seems to be US deliveries only, the EU exports are not affected by this. We'll also be getting it from the Netherlands.

Well, we'll see. Will it transpire that EU production will be diverted to cover US shortfall, like AZ did for the UK? I wouldn't be surprised, they all know that Useless Van Del Leyen won't stop them and Biden has made promises.

I suspect the pharma industry muscled in of MM and other leaders (with large pharma sectors) to stop the EU export ban.

Question: My neighbour says her 3 year old had a classmate in creche test positive. That kid was taken out (of creche) but now her own three year old has a runny nose. What exactly is protocol there for my neighbour and her kid? Does she need to isolate and get tests done? Is this where they say school kids aren't close contacts and don't need to isolate/be tested?

I don't have kids so only half-listened to that bit.

She rings her gp straight away and let them decide.

Ahh good. I suggested that as a course of action just in case so am happy with that then. Just wasn't really sure because you hear a lot about schools, close-contacts and not being... so on and so forth, but I normally tune out as I said. Thanks.

Interesting

Very interesting but remember not everyone admitted to hospital for covid19 in the study had pneumonia.

What's the disease burden from pneumonia compared to covid19?

I think the paper shows there is there are a lot more people now who have these conditions and will continue to be a burden on the already dysfunctional health system.

When they say 80% of the population vaccinated by the end of June. Do they mean 80% of adults or 80% of the entire population?

Anyone?

Michael Martin said all over 70s will be vaccinated in 7-8 weeks time, in the same speech he said 80% of the population will be offered a vaccine by June. Makes no sense

Has to be adults, otherwise you'd need practically 100% of adults vaccinated to make up 80% overall, if you even could. Got to be close ot 20% of pop. under 18.

Read carefully

will be offered a vaccine by June.

Doesn't say received, classic PR machine at work, careful wording which most will read in a more positive way. It really means we will have scheduled 80% of the appointments to get vaccinated

It’s 80% of adults by end of June. Not fully vaccinated, offered 1 dose (at least).

The projection for the over 70s refers to fully vaccinated and reflects the supply constraints at the minute which will be addressed for Q2.

We won’t have any more weeks with less than 100k vaccines administered. Until now we’ve had 2 weeks with over 100k vaccines administered.

Thanks. I thought as much but was hoping otherwise.

Not sure . I've been on here regularly saying contact tracing for creches and schools are intentionally going by different rules than others

The HSE are due to call me within 2 days . Will be interesting if they are close contacts

So to update on this . Got a call from contact tracing . They asked where my daughter had been in the last 7 days . I said the house creche and on walks . They took close contacts off me but the creche workers and kids weren't included

The creche have contacted the HSE directly now for advice

Very easy to achieve this, I fully expect a phone call by June offering me a vaccination in August or September

Big news to be released today regarding the vaccine in the Coombe scandal. Potential resignation/resignations (not involving the master by the way).

Is there a reason why creche workers and kids weren't included?

I think this is happening in workplaces as well. I know of a large workplace with no close contacts, even though the definition of a close contact includes sharing a space for two hours.

No idea . The lady who took our swabs said it's absolutely rampant in children at the moment . It's mostly kids getting swabs now

Probably why our cases are high and hospital numbers still coming down

The Coombe? Was there one there too, or is it about the Beacon?

It was found out secondary to the investigation into the original vaccine scandal at the Coombe (and to be fair, it is criminal in nature).

Newstalk now reporting that Norma Foley is pushing for schools to remain open until mid July in order to gain back some of the lost school hours this year. July Provision to run concurrently after that.




























Just joking! Happy April Fools Day everyone!

This makes perfect sense but you can guarantee the Teacher's Unions won't allow it.

So children aren't being identified as close contacts when they could be. Send those kids home, pass it onto parents and let the whole thing spread. Jesus Christ.

Anyways, hope you and your kid feel better soon.
