Why the need to check into venues?

Extra security but most get zapped from normal contact

Wimbledon’s 50% capacity a bit of a joke. You’d think spaced apart. No just top half of centre court is completely empty everyone squashed into front few rows.
Yet again, why is this allowed but it’s murder if you dare think about having more than 6 in your house.

On 18 May Bolton peaked at a Pop Score of 458 as posted above. It has slowly fallen to 286 today - though a week ago it was down on 239 and has been rising slowly again since.

Manchester today has gone above that highest Bolton number. Onto 480. On 18 May it was just 59. It has gone up relentlessly every day since.

On that day - 18 May - here are where the other GM boroughs were at that point and what they have done since.

Bury was 53 - has gone up without stopping to 375

Oldham was 28 - has gone up without stoppin to 359

Rochdale was 40 - has gone up steadily to 353

Salford was 31 - has risen inexorably witrh a brief pause around 330 10 days ago to now be close to top on 462/

Stockport was 14 - rose more slowly to 228 then fell for two weeks to 194 about 9 dys agp and edged up to 257

Tameside was 18 - stayed below 100 for 2 weeks then went up and up to 332

Trafford was 46 - slowed a little two weeks ago but has gone upsteailysince to 338

Wigan was 26 and has just gone up and up ever since accelerating in past two weeks going from 235 to 438 in 15 days,

She’s never checked in anywhere with it

You don’t need to check in. She will have been in close proximity to somebody with the virus for the required length of time.

AZ study shows that a third dose given 6 months on from second one does boost protection further.

Boosts protection against all current variants including Delta.

But Oxford study adds it is not clear immunity wanes enough after 6 months that a third dose this winter is needed. And that it would be morally wrong to prioritise that over AZ being gven to vaccinate the parts of the world still needing first and second doses and so in more need than the UK.

Caveat - small numbers of people in the test almost self evidently. As we only started vaccinating anywhere 6 months ago so real world data on this is still some way from being clear outside the early tests.

And if its the other vaccine AZ instead of Pfizer (or vice-versa) it will be even better still.

Mix-and-match COVID vaccines trigger potent immune response

Preliminary results from a trial of more than 600 people are the first to show the benefits of combining different vaccines.

ENGLAND HOSPITAL DEATHS SUNDAY

The single death was from 25 June and in Birmingham. They were aged 80 +


ENGLAND HOSPITAL DEATHS MONDAY

The two deaths today were both in the North West, one on Friday and the other on Saturday.

One was aged 40 - 59, the other ages 60 - 79.

One was in Manchester Royal and the other in Salford Royal.



Although the really big numbers were on Saturday and the two following days were encouraging - so overall not a really worrying total - it is hard to be sure as weekend registering of deaths is always low especially in the North West,

As we stand that new high of 12 on 24 June is still at 12 after another 2 days. But being weekend days we will have to see what its 5 day total is tomorrow when numbers will be more normal than Mondays are.

Similarly the 5 we started out with on 25 June are still only at 7 after 3 days and the same caveat here.

I think these numbers are obviously slowly rising and are, of course, from weeks ago when they likely caught Covid in the EARLY days of the rise then only in the North West.

The regional distribution of the deaths versus the cases show these deaths are not from people who caught it in the last week or two.

It remains to be seen how high the numbers will go as we see the impact of the now double numbers in the NW AND the rising numbers in all other regions.

We are a few weeks away from seeing the degree of that consequence only that it will be a bigger number than now.

I think it is safe to predict the vaccines will assure it is not hundreds of daily deaths at the peak of this wave.

But right now I am not sure it will stay under three figures at its peak.

Let us hope so as this will factor in to how many people will be in hospital to trigger these deaths and taking up icu beds and that is really the scenario we need to stay as low as possible in order to safely open up.

Still optimistic. But it is not assured how high we will go. Just that in coming weeks we will go higher even given how much the vaccines are undeniably helping in a big way.

This virus will always find victims sadly.

I'm absolutely sure deaths won't get anywhere near 3 figures.
