So tired of the conspiracy nonsense. Finally talked my mum into having a job on Sunday, despite her shitting it cos of hearing shite from my brother and auntie, and now obviously this blood clot stuff comes out and she's now scared of the AZ one, which ironically is the one she 'wanted' first cos she'd heard loads of scary stuff about the mRNA stuff. Sigh. She'll still likely go and get it done, but fuck me the damage these people have done.

More countries suspend AstraZeneca vaccinations over blood clot fears: What we know so far

AstraZeneca has said the vaccine has been studied extensively during Phase 3 trials and peer-reviewed data confirms the shot is "generally well tolerated."

There's a bit more info in here that maybe useful to reassure her.
 
Zoe app today predicts 5143 cases - down 350 on yesterday. It has been falling all week.

Whereas in the real world the cases have gone upward. Almost certainly due to the school testing meaning we have had twice already this week in one day done over one and a half million tests - double the most we were at just a week or two ago.

With the inevitable uncertainty over lower accuracy of the rapid testing it is hard to know for sure what the true picture is and so best not to jump to conclusions right now based on case numbers.

Hospital numbers have continued to go down all week. Though the rate has slowed a bit compared with last week. That is much more significant than cases right now.

In BBC land there are still 9000 or so in hospital. As that is still the Gov UK data shown as it is always tardy. In reality there are as of yesterday 6687 in England and 8090 in the UK.

That is down from over 39,000 on 18/19 January at the peak of this wave.

Those numbers are way more important than the daily cases that the BBC make sure are up to date and announced the moment they emerge so they can tell us they are going upward - whilst ignoring the ones that really tell us where we are right now for at least 24 hours. Often longer. Do they not have anyone advising them on these matters?

I know I harp on about this but the presentation of data at this key time matters and we all pay the BBC to do the job properly via the licence fee. So they need to be reminded of how influential they are on public perception.
