True, and especially so as the 60-79 group is so broad. I suppose the over 80s will drop right off compared to that group and then very soon the numbers will be so low that percentages will be irrelevant.

Daily Mail was saying today that the number of over 80’s being admitted to intensive care at the minute is almost zero

Not really, take todays numbers 4 ,5, 75, 65. Assuming those under 60 with underlying conditions have also been vaccinated now or in the next couple of weeks. best case scenarion all 4 groups drop to 0. For argument though lets say they drop to 1, 1, 4 ,4 great numbers but still 10% 10% 40% 40%. So the percentage figure becomes a bit misleading and not the figure to be looking at.

I agree it’s not so important a figure to concentrate on but let’s use a different example. Say it was 4,4,1,1 for example percentages then 40%, 40%, 10%, 10%. Then you start to see the difference don’t you? The swing now being over 80’s was 40% now only 10%. This is where you see the vaccine working

I don't think so for several reasons.

Firstly, large numbers of required second shots don't kick in until the end of March/April. In early January the numbers of first shots started rising as AZ came on stream but we weren't doing almost three million a week then or anything like that.

Hancock said again on Friday that March will be a 'bumper month' so expect daily numbers to reach new records.

Thirdly, we will be in a better supply situation soon as to date we haven't received any supply from Moderna plus the Johnson & Johnson single shot vaccine will be approved by the MHRA in the coming two to three weeks.

The thing with where we are now is not to look at past numbers but the direction of travel.

Hope so. That would be a magnificent achievement by the UK

who would have thought our government would have done so well?

My daughter wasn't keen because we were going against trail approval data. But she admitted then that case numbers and deaths from the new variant were so vast that somthing had to be done and the risks for taking the UK approach were miniscule compared with the benefits.

We now have to crush case numbers and mass test areas with variant outbreaks or with large UK variant case numbers. Why? To minimise the possibility of variant X occurring that is far worse than the UK Brazilian, South African or Californian variants .
The Covidiots will tell you otherwise but they are so, so wrong.
Doing something about transmission during shopping is essential too to minimise new case numbers. It is not too late.
 
Regional Scoreboard:

Every region finally below 1000 today.

North West still the most but drops the most too - 275 to 880.

This is the lowest since last Summer I think - many many months ago.

Other regions:

East - down 96 to 447

London - down 200 to 478

South East - down 190 to 490

South West - down 11 to 308


East Midlands down 111 to 812

West Midlands down 156 to 743


Yorkshire down 119 to 790

North East down 134 to 326

Schools back in a week so bound to be an increase, just got to hope we keep it under control.

Of course but we need to remember most schools are operating at about 40-50% capacity this time since January so the impact along with the vaccines should mean the impact in cases and any hospitalisations (relative to Sep) will hopefully be less.
 
Greater Manchester Summary:

A good day here - lowest numbers for six months or so.

Falls 142 to just 374. And NW % drops 2.2% to 42.5% lowest split in two weeks.

Every single borough under 100. Though Manchester only just up a bit to 99.

After that Stockport - with another fall and a week to week drop too was next highest at 41.

Everyone else in the 20s and 30s with Wigan at 30 down to its lowest in many weeks

And Bury - who just days ago the Manchester Evening News was (wrongly by then) saying was in big trouble - it had been 5 days before on the data they were using as up to date) - recording today the lowest case number in GM for many a while - just 18

For once I can say everyone had a great day in GM.

Frustrating not knowing the test numbers until tomorrow though as they are often lower at weekend.

But we know them from the other regions and their positivity ratings all fell Sunday to Sunday so I suspect that will mean tests are not the cause of this drop in England either.
 
Here are the cases reported every Sunday in 2021 from 3 January onward

Showing the remarkable drop


54, 990 v 54, 940 v 38, 598 v 30, 004 v 21, 088 v 15, 845 v 10, 972 v 9834 v 6035

PETER HITCHENS: I've had Covid jab- and all it cost me was my freedom

PETER HITCHENS: So sorry, Your Majesty, but I have had my first Covid vaccination for wholly selfish reasons. I did not do it for the good of others but for my own convenience.

One of the great mysteries of our time is the ocean of difference between this prick and his brother.
