Thanks these are the two reports you need to compare
Uk Gov Model Summary:
PHE Vacine Efficiency against Covid:
POST:
Vaccines highly effective against hospitalisation from Delta variant
New analysis by PHE shows for the first time that 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective against hospitalisation from the Delta (B.1.617.2) variant.

Welcome to the world of epidemiology, where there are no absolutes and no definites. Unfortunately that's the aspect of science that people who are desperate for absolutes and definites have difficulty getting their heads around. It's frustrating for the vast majority of people who just want their lives back but the reality is that nobody can say for sure how it is going to pan out - not the scientists and certainly not the people who have decided that the scientists are lying/overcautious/controlled by 'big pharma' or space lizards.

It blows my mind that people believe we should have completely shut the borders.
They're the 2017 trade figures for the UK. What do you suppose we do if suddenly close to £600bn in exports disappears? Where do you suppose we'd manage to find the equivalents of c£640bn of imports in good old blighty?
Honestly the short sightedness of some people throughout this thread has been astounding.

Yes but I'm making a point that zero covid won't ever happen and every country needs to realise that.

sure, but in the meantime let's jab away and work on better treatments and we can keep this at bay forever.

41 cases of new variant that's being called 'Delta plus' in India have been sequenced in UK
This morning we have been telling you about a new strain of the Delta variant that has been labelled "Delta plus" in India - and now it has emerged there have been 41 cases picked up in the UK.
Health officials in India believe the strain is more transmissible than the prevalent Delta mutation

No, I understand that, but scientists can have clearer communication than stabbing every "definitely maybe" into a sentence. One would have sufficed, more indicates guessing and lack of confidence in what you're saying to the average joe.

what happened to the Greek alphabet for new variants? . I don’t recall that delta plus follows delta .
they may as well have said we told you about delta and that didn’t scare you enough so it’s now a new and improved scarier version
DELTA PLUS!!! BE AFRAID !!!!
This makes absolutely no sense, how is it possible that this variant is here? India has been on the red list for 2 months and for red list countries you MUST go into a hotel for 10 days.
If it's so extra transmissible then this would not translate into just 41 cases in 2 months.
