Than back in April and May?

How is this possible when there is obviously much more activity , more people about and many more places open?

What are all these places that are open and where are they ?

Did it come up with the Ferguson link or the R number link when you'd clicked it ? It's only showing the R number headline when I re-click now.

r number actually but I have seen him saying it

Very nice animation of hospitalisations by age from Israel changing

Are you aware of how harsh a lockdown that Israel is in?

Why is that relevant to the change in age profile of hospitalisations?

Was just a simple question based on my understanding of the graph, that the numbers of younger people getting hospitalised is still increasing.

Weird. Must be to do with not subscribing. I can't find any other articles relating to it at the moment.

It's the distribution not the numbers, I think.

Here's the data (all settings deaths by day of death). You can clearly see the rate of drop is higher from the 2nd peak

How is it possible? Some possibilities:

1) Masks
2) Significant proportion of the population immune now
3) Better controls in workplaces
4) Better compliance to the rules

Your guess is as good as mine though.

Deaths could come down quicker due to the vaccine roll out during this lockdown. Surely its the rate of fall in cases that would be the tell tale in how effective a lockdown would be.

My point still stands tho, a tighter lockdown would have to lead to a steeper fall in cases as there would be less transmission.

What are these groups ?

I got a letter saying I am clinically extremely vulnerable and have been shielding. I got a letter on Monday telling me I could book a jab, nearest place was 20 odd miles away and we have snow etc so didnt book. On the Tuesday my surgery phoned asking if I want a jab on Wednesday. So I went down on Thursday and was jabbed :)

Now just waiting to know if I am still to shield after the 21st feb or go back to work.

Sorry. Misunderstood. The graph is the proportion of each age - doesn't say either way if the absolute numbers are going up or down. The shift from older to younger is what you'd expect from the vaccination programme.
