The Big Freezers are in. #COVID19
Each of the Big Freezers can store 200,000 doses. 1.8m in total.
Everyone going to make the doses gags huh? I see you!

The message from the HSE today is that everyone needs to keep their guard up for some time to come.

The vaccines will not be our front line of defence for months yet.
That Big Freezer in the middle looks very Hal from 2001. I wonder if it's sentient.

“It’s a big weekend ahead,” says Liz Canavan - with reopenings, opportunities to meet others.

“It’s a big weekend to prove to each other that we can do these things safely. Every contact counts.”
“Think about the people you want to spend Christmas with - what you do NOW, will make a huge difference to that.”

“COVID exploits every chance it gets... any time you meet more people - it raises the risks.”

Canavan asking people to consider everything very carefully.
Outdoors always better than indoors says Canavan, stressing importance of ventilation.

“Disinfecting surfaces and sitting two metres apart - simply isn’t enough to fully protect yourself.”

The latest HSE Briefing kicking off now.
Paul Reid: Everyone being given a lift by loosening of restrictions...

We're looking into winter in three phases of risk: this weekend (restaurants, gastro pubs opening), between next week and 18th (more people meeting), 18th-New Years (risk at its highest - mixing in homes)
Reid makes the point that close contacts in the period up to the 18th could very well "ruin Christmas" for some people. Be careful is the message.
