Norn Iron has fallen.
6 week lockdown from Boxing Day.
These rolling lockdowns are seriously depressing. We are hardly 2 weeks out of 1 and there are talks of another. A write off of 2 years for a lot of people.

With regards to vaccine and implications on lockdowns I wont be holding my breath on anything really changing until it actually happens. Goal posts have been shifted continuously. We had a 6 week lockdown before December and were one of only countries in Europe to do so hence our relative low numbers compared to other ECDC countries. Now NPHET are emboldened to roll back on easing of restrictions because of outlook in other countries and they themselves imposing restrictions belatedly. Our ICU numbers and deaths are stable but people on trolleys is new metric touted which has always historically been high this time of year. It was twice as bad this time last year. I dont have confidence in HSE being able to roll out vaccines in a timely, substantial and efficient manner. I couldnāt say with confidence that there wont be lockdown 4 or 5 to follow this upcoming one as it will be cited that vaccines dont stop transmission. There just doesnt seem to be any semblance of an exit plan. We will be laggards of Europe again as we adopt a wait and see approach with vaccine.public health officials attitude to vaccine is disconcerting to say the least.

Zero evidence the COVID vaccines work in elderly and frail populations. You know, the cohort weāre supposed to be protecting.
We need to trust the science not some lady feeling something
Fella who got on a bus to go to a funeral in Mayo and said he couldnāt wear mask for health reasons got jail for 2 months today. If he had punched the bus driver in the face and drove the bus himself I doubt he would have seen jail time. We are through the looking glass.

Is there any vaccine one can give to a person with a history of allergic reactions?
Where did you see this?

Iād suspect that someone with an allergy to an ingredient in a biological preparation would be smart enough to not proceed with administration, and instead take their chances with the virus.
Exactly, it applies to any vaccine
George can barely conceal his excitement here
