From the graun:


Professor Sir Ian Diamond, the UK’s National Statistician has told Sky News that about nine in ten people in England and Wales have antibodies against coronavirus, up from two in ten in January.

The group with the lowest at around about 60%, is those age of 15 to 24, he said

No idea what the equivalent NL figures are, but that 40% susceptible, plus the fact that a fair slice of the 60% will be single vaxxed which is much less protective, suggests there is plenty of shoe for a further surge here yet.

Figures in the Netherlands appear much lower, though that’s naturally changing by the day.

This is probably too simplistic thinking here but does this mean that at some point case numbers are going to, in effect, hit a wall and just fall like a stone? Rather than the slow decrease we usually see?

Not if its driven by natural infection, I don't think so, though if we continue to vaccinate and particularly the 12-17yo, then that could drive a faster fall, as the proportion of susceptible people falls faster than it would through infection alone.

But it's really complicated because people's behaviour may change and become more risky as they perceive the thread to be falling, which then flattens the fall.

There's loads of urban local authority areas where less than 50% of adults have one jab, never mind two.


Scroll in (give it a minute to get all the data), and you'll see what I mean.

I really don't know what to say about it. The young haven't had a lot of opportunity compared to the rest of us, but some of these people will be unarsed, and some too busy in low paid jobs.

Yeah but urban areas had up to 25% antibodies mainly in youth groups from previous waves.

Thanks - any idea what those are as %?

The antibodies figure includes infected as well as vaccinated.

The Netherlands is the most vaccinated country in Europe outside the UK (ignoring very small nations)
1st jab / 2nd jab
UK = 51% / 17% = 68% of total population
NED = 39% / 26% = 65% of total population
I breifly looked for % of pop with antibodies for comparison with the UK (90%) but couldn't find it. It will be out there somewhere.

Everyone bar Bury down on the day and they were level.

Tameside, Oldham and Wigan huge daily falls and also a small week to week fall. The rest up. Manchester, Rochdale and Stockport by the most.

Stockport's numbers much closer relative to Trafford and this time extended by only another 7 their lead over Trafford for best overall Pop Score.

Tameside hospital reopened a dedicated Covid ward about 3/4 weeks ago due to increasing admissions, good to hear, hopefully we have peaked.

It seems to me that there will always be an underclass who refuse to be educated or help themselves or others.
