It hugely reduces the chances of you catching it by around 94% and makes the chance of you being hospitalised virtually zero. So much so that the CDC in the US has basically said that life can carry on as normal for double vaccinated people meaning no masks needed and back to full capacity sporting events and concerts etc.and the vaccine doesn't stop people catching it.

I actually never knew that, I just thought it reduces the chances of me becoming seriously ill with it. Thanks for the information.

Unfortunately the England hospital data today mirrors what we might have expected.
Patients are UP - which is unusual mid week.
Last week they fell by 14 - today they rose by 8. Small numbers but the trend is like the small rises in Scotland too.
Moreover NW has gone up by 9 and is now for the first time flat week to week.
Ventilators fell in England by just 1 but again North West is up 1 to 19 and now has been either static or rising for 9 days - the longest period in months numbers have been going the wrong way.
There are small numbers but it is pretty clear these big case rises in the NW and GM in particular are feeding into a small increase in patient numbers and has at least slowed down the fall in ventilators to a virtual stall.
This information is the key right now but it may be a week or two before we see if it translates into more worrying things than short stays in hospital.

2967 total cases of the new variant now known in the UK.
Such a shame we were not more quick to make brave decisions on travel to and from there. As it was clear where that was going early enough and this is not wise after the fact given this countries close links to India.

Hancock says they will announce on 14 June IF the full easing of restrictions 7 days later will happen.
We need the next 4 weeks to see how things develop and continued caution in the next few weeks are vital if we are to get this new variant under control.

Just been a question on whether the NW/Bolton/GM patient number are rising in a meaningful way.
The response was the numbers are small and not as yet indicative of anything. Also noted that fewer are being admitted than used to be because at home oxygen check monitors are being offered to keep patients out of hospital who last year would have been kept in for such daily checking in case they deteriorated.

Bolton hospital has gone from 19 to 25 patients with Covid between Monday and today.
Most are unvaccinated but 3 of them have had both doses of the vaccine.
