3118 cases in Scotland

89 in people aged 65+, now approaching triple figures when it feels like only yesterday it was single digits in this age range, low ones at that.

522 aged 45-64

1063 aged 25-44
1433 aged 0-24 (including 425 aged 0-14)

**********

1 death aged 85+

Vaccines

16.5k first doses
And a very very low 9k second doses.

1 death!! And over 85!! We have to start moving on and most are!

Child who goes to the same childminder as my daughter has tested positive. My child now has to isolate for 10 days and miss school - and get under my feet while I'm trying to work.
Not a great situation but been lucky so far as some have had to isolate multiple times.

Does anyone know when the latest wave is likely to peak?

No. Literally no one knows.

Exciting, isn't it!

I seen on or around 31st of July posted, not sure if that's still the estimate or if circumstances have changed so take it with a pinch of salt for now.

But England won and that’s all that matters.

One of the experts will be along to tell you shortly and while they’re at it strangely accuse you of being an anti-vax murderer.

The best possible thing we can do at this point is literally stop talking about cases. Especially as the rate of death per infection has clearly been massively changed by vaccination.

Case rates are only important now for international travel because whilst we might not be getting ill, other less vaccinated countries won’t want us to infect them, and potential visitors to the U.K. won’t want to risk coming here, so we still need to get it under control so the country can fully reopen to the world and the world can reopen to us.
