I really really wish that people would stop suggesting AZ is an inferior vaccine. If anyone looks at the UK’s figures they will know what population has the biggest cases (under 30s), then they will also know that all of this age group have had either Pfizer or Moderna (and no j and j). Our...

Totally agree on the football - some of the scenes made me cringe and I’ve been quite liberal in terms of my views on restrictions - always obvious what was going to happen afterwards! As for primaries as I said only anecdotal from me really - I just reference the ONS survey which actually...

there was a link but possibly not as much as people think - our case numbers were much much higher in the 20-35 age groups mainly due to increased socialisation and as I said above - the football. One betraying observation is that for a long period of time we had masks in secondary schools but...

the euros with mass comings together and home parties more significant than schools I feel in terms of upward acceleration - for example, in Scotland it was almost 1:1 in terms of gender for positive tests - that went up to 9 times more males than females getting the virus during their time in...

Masks became voluntary but recommended on the 19th of this month (in england this is), all buisnesses now open from then as well in england - more restrictions in other parts of the uk still. Our peak was higher to be fair and has come down this week

For some reason our cases have suddenly dropped 30% week on week - reported cases today 23,500 last week over 40,000 - same happened with India

It was seeded widely due to people returning from India who had gone to red list status - this was mainly in higher density, poorer neighbourhoods and it literally ripped through those areas and then spread - especially through schools and then secondary on to parents etc - so it was the seeding...

yep sounds very familiar - my friend is a teacher so she ended up isolating for 10 days due her bubble popping - she was free for a day, went to Iceland - got pinged a day or so later!! That’s her fourth isolation in a few months

the chaos it has caused here is due mainly to our contact tracing app that pings close contacts of cases through Bluetooth (so if you are close to a future case even on the street for so long it will ping you) - the problem is that it has pinged so many people during this wave that our critical...

not sure what’s happening over here in uk - 24900 cases today literally down around 30% same time last week and huge per weel drops. Now I would say it’s due to schools and end of football except India saw the same. Delta seems to burn quick through the population and then decline as quickly

That is our govt PHE dept so I gave no reason to suggest that they are wrong - the fact is the more people who are vaccinated the more they are going to make up of hospitalisations for major reasons - remember our hospitalisations include people who have gone into hospital for routine...

im on about effectiveness of the vaccine

It genuinely isn’t - the effectiveness again serious cases and hospitalisation are very similar https://www.gov.uk/government/news/vaccines-highly-effective-against-hospitalisation-from-delta-variant Also remember most of our cases are in the under 40s who have all had Pfizer and moderna...

The studies from the uk are much higher than this - there is a suggestion that this may be due to the 8 week 2nd dose regime being a sweet spot for protection - I’ll try and find the article suggesting it

I think they said logistically and financially they could not do so - I guess it’s also the athletes schedules in terms of other tournaments and championships

the government have just said that by end of September vaccine passports will be mandatory in nightclubs ans other crowded venues (so we assume gigs, festivals, sport stadia etc) so we are going down the French line - testing not accepted nor recovered prior infection

To be fair it’s been mandated in england (not sure if whole of uk) in social care settings as well

Oops apologies of course you are correct! Blame my tired heat overpowered brain last night!

Cheers and apologies for perhaps seeming a bit off the cuff. I surprised myself how i felt about it all last night - I thought I’d feel utter relief (for example wearing a mask in london at the weekend was horrific I felt like I couldn’t breathe on the transport network) but I didn’t - the...

Yep I’m a little nervous about jt all. I spent my weekend in london where life was buzzing and whilst good to see I myself kept my distance a little. I also surprised myself by being a little uncomfortable when people were asking me to sit close to me on the train however I am slightly...
