That has no bearing on Covid though - you cant assume that because vaccine induced immunity is superior in one scenario, that it is better in all scenarios.

Are there studies on covid immunity - natural vs induced?

I have no idea what’s happening in the UK but I know two households now who got infected . Some in the house were double vaccinated and one with one dose . Also in one house one who had Covid in March .

In that house in March no one else was positive . This time in July one person tested positive who had one dose . Three others who were double dosed tested positive , the only one who tested negative was the one who already had Covid

Of the three double doses who tested positive one had mild cold symptoms and the other two were in bed for three days with headache , body aches and cough

A similar story in the second house with two fully vaccinated being positive and the one who had Covid earlier in the year was negative

No one was severely ill or needed hospitalisation but its interesting that the only one testing negative were the people who had a confirmed case of Covid

Because since the hack they don't have daily reported death figures in this way. They don't want to say "there were no deaths", because that's not accurate. The deaths may have occurred, but it hasn't been possible to report them. Some death figures are coming through, but at a guess I would say they're all in-hospital deaths rather than community deaths.

At some point, probably pretty soon, RTE will get on a nice little doom gravy train where they can report 20 deaths a day for a couple of weeks, with a tiny asterisk to note that these deaths all occurred in May or earlier.

Nice drop back in numbers over the day yesterday.

A bit of advice please. Son was die to go for Pfizer this morning, 50 minutes before appointment he got a text saying not Pfizer but Moderna.

Is waiting time between shots still 28 days?

28% of Covid-19 tests taken at Buncrana's test centre are positive.

Figures from the HSE show the highest positivity rates for self-referrals as of Tuesday evening, are in Buncrana followed by Tallaght Stadium, Dublin.

Meanwhile, Buncrana also has the highest positivity rate for walk-in testing at 23.6%.

Donegal GP Denis McCauley who is Chair of the GP Committee of the Irish Medical Organisation says the figures in Buncrana are shocking.

Any age group in particular?

Only good thing is that they're turning up to test, could be worse and they ignoring things.

Huge positive %age though.

What's this I'm hearing about France, come August if your over 12 years old, you will need to show your vaccinated in order to use the supermarkets. Isn't that just a wee bit over the top.

Page 7 of this.

Go back and read up on the pre-release test criteria. Preventing infections wasn't in the goals/requirements. Mitigation of symptoms was.

That only shows the number in a 24hr period, not how many in total.
