Ah thats great news in fairness

If there are 10 Citwest sized centres then that's 170k a week between them at 2.5 k and then you have the smaller ones

Dublin has a few big centres, could be that Dublin gets done quicker than other places due to volume

I would of assumed they set them up so there is 1 MVC per x number of people. So it shouldn't make a difference where they are? Not withstanding different demographics in some areas.

Thanks!

Is there really a press conference this evening?

Apparently Luke oNeil said today on the radio it was between 75 and 80 percent.

Can anyone confirm that?

Might the number be even high for deaths?

New research on AZ.

So is the general consensus things are going up another level from next Tuesday?

You mean down? As in more easing?

We can deduce from the Belgians disclosing they are expecting delivery of 753,030 vaccines in the week beginning 26 April that we can expect about 323,000 ourselves. That is a serious "ramping up". :cool:

That ties in with the extra Pfizer deliveries - George Lee says they start that day.

No, he means up as in with the extra pfizer and the av jabs for 60+ we should be pissing on our vaccine records next week.

Another thing - somebody above was lauding Robin Swann for his approach to the vaccine rollout.
This is the same Robin Swann who dismissed out of hand the suggestion of an All-Island approach repeatedly in the last year - maintaining the DUP's link to Westminster was far more important than the lives which were ultimately lost on this island because it was unpalatable to work with Dublin to agree a common approach.
That man and the whole political establishment in the north deserve absolutely zero credit - and don't let their fast vaccine rollout convince you otherwise.

He's UUP though

Sorry to hear but don't think AZ clot issue is lungs, its to the brain iirc

Just to update on this in case it effects other people’s decision making process-

SIL had X-ray when first brought in with shortness of breath last night. Doc said some shadowing which he suspected was clotting. She had a CT scan this afternoon and has been told it was clear!

She has been hit hard by the effects of having the jab with painful injection site etc. and I’m beginning to wonder if she didn’t work herself into a frenzy with the reaction she had coupled with the AZ jab being suspended etc.

Probably should have waited to post on here until we knew the full details!

With all the news, lately it is no wonder. Hopefully she'll be back to normal soon and in a position to put covid related worries behind her.

Does anyone know if there are any current contra-indications for someone 60-69 getting the AstraZeneca? GP hasn’t a clue if they’ll even do him. His consultant in hospital isn’t responding. He has 11 stints in his heart. He doesn’t know if he can just register and get the AstraZeneca or if he should be waiting for the consultant to respond. He’s very frustrated

What was the total in that group?

RTE also said this was 50% of the age group.

Great news. AZ is a highly effective vaccine with some extremely rare side effects but with the media frenzy there's no surprise people are getting worked up.

Years ago I used to tell people to ignore everything they read on Facebook. I think it’s now time to ignore RTE as they hype up these scariants and cast doubt on highly effective and safe vaccines.

New research on AZ.

They are discussing extending dose times for mRNA vaccines I understood, not AZ as that has already been decided as 60 to 69 years?

It's RTE version of the news, which has an unfair bias to it. They deliberately skewed their reporting throughout this pandemic, and gave preference to doomsayers in order to put the fear of God in the people of Ireland. RTE certainly did injustice to the concept of National Broadcaster.

I think they gave reporting time to people based on science and educational credentials - the alternative was covid deniers, anti vaxxers and other general headcases.

Your opinion, not mine.
What would you call Luke O Neill then ?
He seems to have permanent residency in Donnybrook!
I found some good some bad as with other TV channels.
Same as always but some people attribute more influence to RTE somehow during Covid, even though they ' say' they never watch it!
Interesting, that

Can someone shed light on Ms. Lavins model.

Finding the scenarios a bit confusing are the independent of the other ones. Does each scenarios include for the scenario preceding it? (except of No.1 obviously) or are they total independant

No they are independent from looking at the charts. The text gave me a migraine though

No one is teal (?) and one is green.

Although I have F.Lux on my PC/Phones/Laptop turned up to power ranger so everything is a tint of orange/yellow.
