You heard correctly the UK are now giving the second doses of the Pfizer vaccine 12 weeks later, eventough Pfizer says that the second dose should be given in 21 days they said they have not tested the efficiency of the vaccine at 12 weeks .I heard ,or read that in England the second doses of the vaccine has to be given within three months of the first or it is no use . They do not think that it can be delivered within that timescale though. I do not know how true that is .
Let us hope that 2021 will be good for us all. We can only hope....
I notice that we are no longer allowed to meet up with anybody in our gardens. Is it possible that this new variant is more transmissible outdoors?The virus doesn't spread itself; it needs people to spread it

Certainly the outdoor social distancing seems to have gone by the wayside with the majority of people ignoring the original advice to keep your distance. Many people brushing past others on our local footpaths which will increase in numbers with the 5 km rule.
whats the story with working, factory (manufacturing) mentioned last time didnt hear anything this time?
It was clear that numbers would have go up again in December. You can't lockdown forever as one would not have then any Economy left to sustain the health system. December is very important for many businesses and people.The infected numbers hardly went under 250 per day and still "lockdown" was lifted and despite warnings from people on this forum.
I completely agree with Martin/Varadkar - Holohan doesn't make here the decision - he is an unelected advisor - and he advises - the decisions are done by elected politicians - not by unelected technocrats.Worse again the government ignored the advice of Tony Holohan and NPHET and not only that informed him and us that the government would make the decisions. Unless you think like those in the Peoples Republic of China or North Korea Mr Martin and Mr Varadkar shunned Tony Holohan and put him back in his proverbial box. The two politicians have ignored this issue since.
I also ignored the "advice" of Holohan and went for three weeks abroad for Holidays in August - I decline to participate in the panic here.

Also the lockdown itself kills people.
Lifting the lockdown in December was right in my opinion.
And warnings from people on a random internet forum are not really impacting here government policies in most cases.

Economically it happened.1. The "lockdown" you mentioned never happened. Motor traffic maintained its normal volume.
To give people and business some room to breath and in regards to businesses a bigger chance to surviveIf the infected numbers were increasing what was the point in relaxing restrictions?
The 2007/2008 crisis showed there is a clear connection between the economy and human life.Commercial interests were put above human life and general health.
Because it is just non binding advise and politicians have to look at the bigger picture and from multiple angles on problems.2. If Tony Holohan and NPHET were advising the government. Why did it not heed the advice?
I did not break any law - Holohans statements are not the law. After I returned I filled out the form as required by law and that's it.1. I hope you're feeling proud of yourself for that distasteful post of ignoring restrictions.
Which I saw and still see in some people and in some media.2. What panic?
Not decided by you and regardless of that I am in no rush in any case and not even sure if I will bother at all with the vaccine. I am in not in any of the risk groups. If I would be in a hurry I would fly to Eastern Europe and getting it there.3. I expect you'll allow the remainder of the country get vaccinated before you.
Wow! That's put me back in my box alright. But, I don't mind, I'm sharing the same box as Tony Holohan where he was placed by the Magnificent Two.Economically it happened.

Decisions are made by elected governments here in Europe not by unelected technocrats.
