"The quantity of antibiotics used during the COVID-19 pandemic will likely far exceed the amount used in the 2009 influenza pandemic... The long-term implication could be an increase in antibiotic resistance in the environment and more future lives lost." https://t.co/2jnYWy4X9n

There should be no reason the Irish public aren't fully aware of just how superhuman the efforts of our medical scientists have been and how phenomenally they stack up worldwide.

World class nerds we should be tremendously proud of 🤓💚

Put that in a headline.

Germany has authorised its first clinical test of a vaccine for the coronavirus, the country's regulatory body said, green-lighting trials on human volunteers for an RNA vaccine developed by German firm Biontech and US giant Pfizer.

Our national testing rate is a testament to the highly educated, skilled, resourceful & innovative #medicalscientists in every micro/serology department in this country. Knowing the rollercoaster this has been since mid march, many mountains overcome ! well done ! ♥️
