Wouldn't that essentially just encourage everyone to go out and do their own thing so that their area becomes a hotspot? Yes I realize the idiocy of the logic but.. you know.. people are idiots.I know I keep saying this but looking at Ireland’s figures again today, my area (Mulhuddart) is the highest in Dublin by far. This just doesn’t seem to be dropping around here.
In my head I was thinking why not vaccinate the hotspots?
No I know and you’re right that’s what would happen, the thought did cross my mind.Wouldn't that essentially just encourage everyone to go out and do their own thing so that their area becomes a hotspot? Yes I realize the idiocy of the logic but.. you know.. people are idiots.
Shoot everyone in Mulhuddart? I mean it's not the worst idea I've heard but realistically we should take Blanch out first!No I know and you’re right that’s what would happen, the thought did cross my mind.
I just thought some hotspots just aren’t improving so either shoot all the cnuts or jab them
I'd never have guessed that I might get offered a vaccine in the US before the UK. They really seem to be getting their shit together. As for Italy, I don't think I'll get offered one here for another year. Absolutely fecking hopeless.
Is it really that bad where you are? Mid summer is a realistic target here to have all 10 million of us done.
We're hoping to go back to the UK in July for my nephew's wedding, I can always get the vaccine there if all else fails.Well I'm exaggerating a bit but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

Stupid question then but why isn’t this area just going down? It’s consistently a hot spotAlso. If anywhere has been a hot spot through most of these waves there’ll be a pretty good baseline immunity by now. It’s the untouched places that could have the really huge outbreaks.

As soon as quarantine and testing requirements are lifted I'll be heading back too.
Unfortunately, I don't believe quarantine and testing requirements will be lifted in the UK this year.
Our neighbour and good friend tested positive today, he works in a school. His daughter has symptoms too. There seems to be an explosion of it in our area.
Old people's day center my Mrs has to visit for work, they've all got it, staff and patients.It's kinda expected isn't it? All the vulnerable people have pretty much had the vaccine now, the people testing positive now shouldn't really mean hospital admissions or deaths go up as they should generally be young / healthy people testing positive.

I believe the oldies were vaccinated but not the staff, you are aware how shit the vaccination rollout is in Europe right? 1.6m vaccinated in NL since the beginning of January. My Mrs got hers last week because there were some left over, she's a nurse ffs.The feck? Have they not been vaccinated yet?
Even so, the entire centre shouldn't get it as still supposed to be following the covid rules.

65 year old woman in Texas refuses to wear a mask in a local bank, then refuses to leave. Cops called.
I don't think it will be lifted, either. It's expensive, too. Even if you don't come in from a red country, you have to have a test before and then book the day 2 and day 8 test package before you travel (around £200 for that). If you want the early release test to get out of quarantine on day 5, I think that's another £250.Unfortunately, I don't believe quarantine and testing requirements will be lifted in the UK this year.

The Spanish flu killed just over 2% of the people it infected. Based purely on people you know, covid is killing 4% of the people who catch it. Not a very convincing argument that covid is less dangerous than Spanish flu.

Just put a mask on, you wont die, pick up your money, get out and remove the mask outside. Really dont understand certain type of people.

Two weeks after youngest three years of primary and final year of secondary returned to school. <3% of close contacts testing positive. Considering the uber-infective UK variant has been dominant throughout, these results are very reassuring.
Its actually the youngest 4 years . Junior and senior infants, 1st and 2nd Classes.
Plus in the smaller schools rurally some schools have 3rd class back as same teacher does both in a big room.
But yeah thats very good all considered
Yeah, you’re right. My kids are back this week. 4th and 6th class. I was thinking that means there are only 6 years in total. Like an idiot.
So nerve-wracking at the moment. I’m desperate for schools to stay open so obsessing about the numbers even more than usual. So far so good anyway. 74.4 per 100k for the week just finished vs 76.5 per 100k for their first week back. Not falling as fast as we’d like but the opposite of what you’d expect if schools a big driver.
I’ve a horribly feeling Paddy’s Day is gonna cause huge problems for us but the data from the rest of this week should be clean enough. If we have a third week back with flat/declining numbers then I can’t see any reason to worry about keeping the younger years in primary school at school.

There is also concern that the outbreak could spread to Australia, with Mr Morrison announcing the cancellation of charter flights and outbound travel to Papua New Guinea for the next two weeks.
He said that since Monday, Australian authorities had already found 32 cases from PNG in Queensland.
