In the Dark

In the news today is the fact that the Irish Government “rolled out” (I hate that expression) its Covid-19 vaccination plans. These are summarised here:

I’m not at all surprised to see that I’m in a low priority category, although I beat some of my colleagues in the University sector by one notch by virtue of being over 54 years of age!

It seems likely that they won’t get around to the likes of me until well into the summer, but at least there’s a plan.

The lack of imminent vaccination for staff or students and the strong likelihood of a post-Christmas spike of Covid-19 cases means that there is no realistic prospect of a significant increase in on-campus teaching in this academic year. We have therefore taken the decision to keep our teaching entirely online next Semester. Hopefully things will start to improve from September 2021.
