As you say, it's only one day but hopefully the start of a sustained period in which the percentage in the two older groups falls off. This is looking like even better news than what we had dared hoped for.

I'm not sure the %ages of the 2 older groups can really fall off as the numbers in the under 60s are so small,and would guess those under 60 in the main have underlying conditions so will already be vaccinated or soon. So the numbers hopefully drop off, don't thing the %ages will but will become irrelevant.

The 149 England hospital deaths were aged between 23 and 103.

Six - aged 34 to 89 - had no previously known conditions.

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.

Well they will won’t they? In theory assuming the vaccine is working then over time the percentage of unvaccinated will be much higher in the mix (but of a lower absolute number). So ages under 50 will be a much higher percentage.

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.

Three nation cases with England to add is 955 - second day running sub 1000 - though weekend is often low testing remember. Though the positivity ratings are down on last week everywhere, Unfortunately England do not bother updating tests at weekend so we have to wait.


Wk to wk: - 2424 v 2034 v 1379 v 1453 v 1426 v 955 Today

After a bit of a stall a good decrease this week.
