A relief to see further evidence that vaccines remain highly effective against even this Delta variant… just need to get enough booster doses in people’s arms…

I see that basic math errors are still a badge of honour amongst the twitterati.

I'd imagine the remaining 12 had an unclear vaccination history.

What happened to that scary Yorkshire variant mentioned a couple of weeks ago?

 

[Lilbaz]

Any idea when the novavax and janssen vacs will be rolled out in the uk?

On closer laboratory inspection in turned out to be a Wensleydale Fruit Cake (don't ask, so wrong but so right)

Might actually work. Young people aren't getting the jab in high numbers in the us. They need to encourage them somehow.

 

[Lilbaz]

Although you'll probably get some that are getting vaxxed twice a day.

Cases up a bit but deaths and hospitalisations are still minimal
I bet the 21st is delayed by at least a month, absolutely pathetic if it is

Sure the 21st will be on the 21st. It usually is.

A bit? Minimal?
Aren't those charts showing a 66% increase in cases on the previous week and 43% increase in deaths? I know the absolutes are low, but they have to look at the trends.

So if it was 1 case/death going to 3 they would think hmmmm lets delay the 21st June easings because the trend looks big ??

It would be the trend since we last removed restrictions up to the 14th (i believe when they make their decision).

The dates weren't chosen at random. They are basically 3 weeks after a vulnerable group got their first shot. The problem with the india variant is that just one shot doestn't give that much protection. It's why they brought forward the second shot for some. We'll see how it goes over the next week. London has an r of 1.8 at the moment which isn't good. But if that's all under 20 somethings we should be good.

But it’s not.

 

[markysimmo]

But it’s not.

Ok it’s 46 to 66 deaths in the last week
We have around 70m in the UK and there has been 66 deaths in the last week
