Dont want to be disagreeing with you all the time mate but if we are 80% vacinnated why would need social distancing inside?
Which large outdoor events?
Who is AZ vaccine going to at the moment?
Gigs innit?
Health care staff

Good bit of info in this. All positive if it can be delivered on
RTE news : More than 1m vaccines a month expected - Tánaiste
The word “expected” has me worried
“At least” is the encouraging bit.
That means you’re looking at the potential to vaccinate 1.5-2m people in Q2. A similar return in Q3 should have it nabbed, the bastard.
No reason why society should not be opening up at 90% and a lot of restrictions rolled up by late July/Aug.
I went looking for an electric picnic ticket a few weeks ago but they’re not on sale.
The vaccine isn’t 100%. There’s always new variants… Cautious approach the best.
You need to forget about going back to how life used to be for a couple of years.
I’ve my ticket for EP sorted already. I just need the bands.
TBH, the bands are almost secondary most years, they’re tertiary at best this year.
It’s not that. @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy asked me what it was so I told him but he can be trusted. I won’t tell @thedancingbaby cos that is like telling the 9 o’clock news.

The owl 
HSE aren’t great at the IT.
“The disease incidence among the over-85s fell by 57% last week alone - by far the highest reduction for any age group.
Healthcare workers accounted for 166,000 vaccine doses and by the end of last week they were accounting for 5% of weekly cases, down from 13% three weeks earlier.”
They should be shouting this from the rooftops at the NPHET press briefings - elderly in nursing homes seeing a big drop in cases and illness.
Instead we have a continuation of the negative slant from government/HSE and NPHET - reduction in overall cases not increasing fast enough, too high a percentage of close contacts testing positive etc.
The vaccine works, there should be some optimism exuded by the powers-that-be but they are happy to maintain these stringent lockdowns…

Yes you do. Sure you told me and remember I said I’d let Sharon Ni Bheolain know so she could read it out on the 9.00 news
