Coronavirus (2021) thread

An encouraging but cautious Government briefing today.

My concern is around the persistent number of new hospital admissions; 1,600 today says the PM. I know this largely reflects the higher case numbers from late January, but it still seems a high infection to hospitalisation rate.

Because you posted a video touting a an un-peer reviewed study which appears to have a number of issues?

But the trial in Barcelona is definately randomised. I read the paper on the links section on Dr John' Campbell's video. The full paper being made available yesterday rather than just the summary.

Once again the North West is the highest area despite the fall.

Though it is the lowest number since pre Christmas just.

Down 286 to 1527.

Greater Manchester falls 150 to 654 so that is a fall of 1.5% on yesterdays big rise.

But at 42.8% of the NW total is still higher than any day this year apart from yesterday.

A month ago GM was 28% of the NW total.

Other regions today:-

Yorkshire falls 233 to go below 1000 at 950

East also below 1000 at 936

As is East Midlands at 884 - North East at 497 and South West at 581

West Midlands at 1037 and London at 1064 and South East at 1048 all just above but well below NW.

Just changed the channel after that plonker from Sky asked another inane and pointless question.

That would be telling..... Seriously nothing you will have ever heard of for sure.

yes me too at exactly the same time. Good positive briefing. A measured release and we have got this. That stupid person asking can you guarantee no more lockdowns? What answer did she expect?

 

[Ban-jani]

Let me guess the questions-

“when can we go on holiday?”

“can we book a wedding now?”

or some other tedious shite that will never get an answer because it doesn’t deserve one.

What was the question?

Only in your head.
They reviewed 4 studies back in August/September they threw out 3 studies that indicated Vit D had a major effect and approved the one that showed that Vit D had a minor effect. The reasons for throwing out 3 studies were spurious as the accepting the other study.
But hey that's NICE for you.

I just worked out the hospital data as of today.

There were the usual small rises in England over weekend - all of 36 up on Saturday's data.

So still well below the England first wave peak.

And the UK data is also below the first wave peak at 20, 952 not the 23, 341 from 4 days ago used by both the BBC News 3 times today and the briefing to tell us just now that there are still more people in hospital than the first wave.

When there was not on Saturday and still is not today despite the small rise.

I have no idea why they use out of date information.

How about they do the same for lottery numbers. You get to announce them days after they happen so you can then decide to buy your own ticket first after the draw has been made but before anyone knows it without doing a few sums.
