Nphet epidemiological expert Dr Philip Nolan has been modelling the virus throughout the last 16 months, with predictions showing a very high level of accuracy.
If thatās isnāt a red flag to disinformation I donāt know what is. Their models have been shocking.
The line in the article about giving AZ to the U50s tells me how this will go. It will be presented as āweāre pushing back reopening but ramping up vaccine rolloutā and one cancels out the other so we are no worse off.
I posted yesterday that thereās an inevitability about all this. The schools reopening in January comes to mind with all the mixed messaging, same as Martin above.
All these hapless government ministers being rolled out between Christmas and new year to say thereād be no delay.
Then again in the first week of January to say holding off on reopening for a few days until the second Monday of the year would be sufficient.
All the while it was blatantly clear that wouldnāt be happening either.
Iād say weāll be doing well to have indoor dining/drinking post August bank holiday.
Itās actually an ample opportunity to take a short, sharp zero Covid approach once and for all.
Itāll make divil a bit of difference. The old timers Wonāt chance going into pubs for a while and the youngsters will be happy drinking outdoors well into September.
