Coronavirus (2021) thread

Maybe they do, when from about 193m jabs
98m were Biontech/Pfizer (mRNA),
85m were Moderna (mRNA),
and about 7m J&J (vector).

They have the perfect supply of alternative vaccines to recommend J&J for an age group with a very low risk of thrombosis.

Enjoy being banned from driving very soon!

People dying with Covid in the U.K. has passed 150k, according to the ONS.

Awful figure but it really is a lot worse elsewhere.

It's 200k plus in Russia according to their official statistics agency https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-russia-toll-idUSKCN2AX272
400k plus according to some...

Coronavirus: How Russia glosses over its Covid death toll

The reality behind Russia's pandemic is most likely to be found in its excessive mortality rates.

90% of those over 50 in England have had a first dose.

92% of those in England deemed clinically most vulnerable have also had at least one dose.

They are still urging those in these groups who said no to come forward.

Interesting. Why exactly is the administration of an adenovirus triggering a clotting cascade...

I don't know. But hyper-inflammation leading to clotting is already recognised as a symptom from severe COVID cases. It surely makes moving on from these vaccines an easy decision.

Full data now expected by 6 pm. They are still blaming the Welsh delay. But they posted their data at 4 pm as you see earlier.

The raw details of cases and all settings deaths was issued by Gov UK as they knew it would be a delay today.

No idea if yesterday's big add on cases are being addressed (suspect not) but the cases by date of actual test are following the same VERY slow downward track and the recent blips do seem to have been largely due to an artificial fall over Easter due to very low testing.

So cases appear to be around 2300/2400 daily nor 1800 as Zoe predict.

But Zoe often seems ahead of the testing so maybe we will be at that 1900 or so for real by end of week.

These South African variant cases in London are a concern. It seems to boil down to one person who came here from Africa in February. Must be a few cases out there by now and probably still spreading which is shite as it’s thought it may be resistant to current vaccines being used here in the UK. Let’s hope it can be stopped in it’s tracks.

1.3 million vulnerable people yet to take up offer of vaccine in England..get the bloody jab will ya..

Regional Scoreboard yesterday

Yesterday's England regional data is available - nothing having changed.

Whether it will be clarified or adjusted in tonight's data remains to be seen.

As feared the North West was indeed the highest for the first time in a while - though only just and everywhere was up somewhat. And the Southern regions added a lot too despite being at recent low levels further implying this is quite old data when they were higher.


SOUTH

East Up 263 to 369

London Up 251 to 422

South East Up 251 to 362

South West Up 202 to 204




MIDLANDS

East Up 211 to 365

West Up 190 to 311



NORTH

North East Up 121 to 184

Yorkshire Up 72 to 496

And, NORTH WEST Up 331 to 501


As you can see Yorkshire added very little compared to the rest and the NW increase was surprisingly big - indeed almost a 200% increase in the day.

So we can see where the focus of the problem was. Whatever that backlog problem is.

That it was as is being indicated driven by cases from weeks or even months ago is further hinted at by the fact that Greater Manchester only went up last night by 92 of that 331 - easily the lowest % rise by GM recently.

Indeed it in one go reduces the GM % of the NW to 43.5% - pretty much where it was up to the past few weeks. And about right for population levels in the region.

That is an extraordinary fall from 74.1% in one go and weeks in the 50s and 60s. Which I had noted often in here as puzzlingly high. And in the end stopped citing earlier this week as it was clearly not meaningful any more.

If - as now seems likely - the majority of the added on cases yesterday from weeks ago were from areas outside of Greater Manchester - the under reporting of those areas versus the more accurate seemingly reporting in GM would have distorted the pattern to make it seem GM was doing much worse than the rest of the region even whilst falling steadily.

This is speculation. I guess we will see if the numbers and percentages return to more normal levels tonight

Can you stop calling it a "scoreboard", please?

Ta.

Does it?
