Bloody hell. That's disappointing. You have to question if we will get out of this is so many don't have the vaccine, in addition to children.
It is disappointing, my other half was volunteering at a vaccine centre today and they were still bringing elderly people in for jabs. Now there may have been a specific reason for them only turning up at this late stage but it did still surprise me.

some people were fearful of it early on and are hopefully coming forward now the efficacy and safety concerns are not materialising. As long as they get done that's the main thing.
 
Delta introduced in higher quantities to the North West by travellers coming from India or affected areas?

Starts there (Bolton) and spreads outwards, it'll also likely start declining there before anywhere else too but that would be dependant on a number of factors. Scotland in a similar boat to the North West.
Large swathes of families who come from or who family other there who travelled back and who live in large households.
It’s well known that “household” transmission is the highest (duh!) and one positive can be 12 in some households versus an average household size of 4.something.
 
It's quite unbelievable that Care Homes don't pay a suitable rate for workers when taking into account what they charge residents. My mates Dad was in one until September last year when he died at 88 years old (he'd had Covid but that wasn't the cause). He'd been in the home for many years, my mate had power of attorney over his finances and watched his bank balance reduce from 300k to less than a tenth of that. It was around 3,500 per month at the end, over 100 per day, it's a disgrace the staff are not given decent pay and conditions.
A friend of mine has both parents in a care setting in the South and it’s costing £10300 a month!
 
As I have said before on this thread, I would think it likely many more from London would have gone to India as more than 500k of people with Indian heritage live in London. It's the largest ethno-national population in London. That's twice the size of Bolton MBCs total population.

There must be other factors involved.
Density

Just to be clear, there is a bit of a trope going round that Asian people live in communes at the moment, as it fits a transmission story that people are using to attempt to make sense of the current covid spike

The average UK house size is about 2.5, South Asian descendent families average about 3.5. It's not drastically more, maybe enough to cause slightly more household transmission, but I suspect it's community and culture as well.
