47 more deaths and 631 new cases in the 26 

The usual mid week bump. 14 of these deaths occurred in March.

370 patients are hospitalised, 489 it was last Wednesday.

I am surprised that they haven't got a handle on death numbers. Reporting of deaths for legal purposes is a bit tardy, but for disease control purposes then whoever signs a death cert should be required to report that there and then. There is only a limited set of people who can certify a death and these should have a login to report the death.

Cases are declining about 20% a week. Still a bit to go.

I've never been anti-vaccine but this time I think i'll go with my immune system and a 99.97% recovery rate.

What about your ability to pass it on to others? You're happy with that?

That's bordering on an existential question MR2.

Blood clots can be extremely dangerous regardless of your age or  health.

Covid is (seemingly) only extremely dangerous if you have a weakened immune system.

So should subject A risk a clot to minimise the risk of subject B and C contracting Covid? Why are B and C more important than A?

Is there evidence that the vaccine stops transmission?

I don't know, is there evidence if you have Covid you can pass it on?

5% of people seem to get long covid. It seems to be from all ages and nobody knows what makes certain people prone to getting it. I've seen a few people on the tv recently who've got long covid and it's basically left them as invalids. There is no guarantee that they will make any kind of recovery or that their quality of life will improve. To me the vaccine is a no brainer when you are vastly reducing the chances of serious long term illness or death.

Not dead ≠ recovery

I'd agree 100%, an, absolute no brainer. You've parents who have their wains vaxxed to the hilt, are now refusing a vaccine that will help the planet out of this mess. You either trust science or you don't. The vaccine passport to travel will, without a doubt, have the % of the population vaccinated  very high. We'll see how principled alot of the new social media age anti vaxers are then. PS: I'd never dream of forcing someone against their will btw

The fact they refer to suspending use from "specific manufacturing batch" would indicate that that the concern is around production or supply chain rather than the vaccine itself.

If so, it's all pretty standard stuff tbf and these kind of investigations/recalls happen all the time on manufacturing batches. Lots of drug production is outsourced, so it's likely that the same drug can be manufactured in completely different plants with different supply chains. They all go through the same quality controls but they still need to investigate. Could be a complete coincidence but ultimately due process will be followed and precautionary measures have been take.

This article is very poorly written and only contributes to the vaccine misinformation.

We see the rise of the Mé Féiners.

I'm very pleased to say I got my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine last Sunday. The staff at the South Lakes Centre in Craigavon were fantastic.

The article doesn't establish the level of risk. What are the levels of risk of people dying from blood clots vs the risk of people  from Covid when infected? If we get those as a starting point then we might be able to see where the risk lies.

9 deaths today so ramping up unfortunately

On the plus side looks like less than 200 in the hospital for the first time in a very long time.

Excellent. Got my first Pfizer dose last week.
