ENGLAND HOSPITAL DEATHS - BIT OF A JUMP UP SADLY

108 with 27 North West - last week 64 with just 5 North West and week before 62 with 14 North West

This has been the largest week to week jump in some time,

Hopefully a one off but not good news obviously.

All 108 were since Friday too. No catch up.

We also have our first over 70 death day after 5 days - AUG 20 is on 71.

Moreover the two days immediately behind are high enough they are likely to top this in next 48 hours.

The size of the NW contribution is a bit worrying too,

Possibly, yes, but good news in the sense that, unlike flu, it will be the same vaccine rather than a new one (or at least only changed infrequently), and a single vaccine, rather than a cocktail of several as the flu one is.

Also good news because the vaccine against COVID is considerably more effective than the flu one.

And beware of too much pessimism on the waning piece. It may not be as bad as reported, and certainly isn't waning too much against severe disease.

I linked a simply excellent thread on this previously, and shall unashamedly threadbomb as it's worth reading.

There'll be a reluctance to take-up further jabs as people will consider they've dine their bit and also people won't want to risk becoming vaccine dependent.

Maybe. It was said that the French were the most vaccine hesitant nation in the world and they've overtaken us. Equally the Australians have screwed themselves by avoiding vaccination. A decent proportion of the USA appears clinically insane!

The psychology is impossible to predict, at least by me.

What do you mean by "risk becoming vaccine dependent"?

This is not too good either. Another new record.

Doubling week to week. Can see why Rubaix is a bit concerned.
 
Dutch Doctors complaining about Covid-deniers and their family members who refuse to believe that they have it (doesn’t exist!), no matter how serious the condition. Refuse even to allow Doctors to perform standard Covid tests, so diagnosis has to be reached by other means, which adds to the frustration of the attending physician and drains other hospital resources. Bring back Sir Lancelot Spratt.
