Coronavirus (2021) thread

Does anybody have a breakdown of hospitalisation and ventilators by age group? The government have been suspiciously quiet about the ages of those hospitalised.

The 1 In 50 is a scary stat but it’s still not “on the doorstep” in a lot of cases, and a lot of people are still really ignorant. I’m not convinced that the death toll is what will scare people, I think it’ll take the NHS collapsing before the majority start abiding.

I think that's spot on; it was the pictures from Bergamo and the rest of a (well funded and highly skilled) health service with doctors choosing who to save that made me take it seriously last March. Terrifying.

Footage from NHS hospitals was banned.

43 percent of our staff (197) have had it confined by tests. Actual will be much higher as lots Ill in March and not tested. I would estimate 60 to 70 percent.

Reckless bunch of fuckers obviously. I've noticed on building sites people are still crawling all over each other and not wearing masks. Essential workers in spreading the virus

Birmingham had 1511 cases today - with Pop score up 132. The third time in a week it has been over 1500.

It is the largest borough in the UK but the Pop score shows this is very high.

Blackburn struggling and driving the NW increases with Liverpool. Its Pop Score today was up 101 to the highest in the country by some distance and at 8362 way ahead of the rest and the only one in the 8000 club.

Liverpool had 673 cases today - down from 720 but still double Manchester, Its Pop score rose by 135 to 6248. A rise that is way over anywhere in GM today.

Wirral up 307 cases - third straight day in the 300s.

The Telegraph are reporting that the Johnson & Johnson single shot vaccine should be approved in the next few weeks. It is similar to the Oxford vaccine and the UK has an initial 30 million doses on order with an option for 22 million more.

That’s a great boost if true. What’s the delivery timescale looking like on that?

They say that the government are hoping to receive doses in February.

I’ve just google the J&J vaccine and this was a Q&A regarding it....

Q:
You are also studying a two-dose regimen. Can you tell us more about this?​

A:
At Johnson & Johnson, we’re extremely thorough and driven by science. The ENSEMBLE 2 study, which we’re now recruiting for, will give participants two doses of the vaccine spaced two months apart. The reason we are running this second study is to see if a second dose might provide greater, or longer, protection
