PCR tests for travel to be scrapped too. Has there been some sort of outbreak of common sense at No 10?!?!

Hope it's catching.

Some shite female rapper who’s more famous for shaking her arse around than for her actual music.

I‘ll admit I googled ‘Nicki Minaj arse’ on reading this.

I wasn‘t disappointed.

Question makes perfect sense, but I'm not sure if there's any hard data beyond 12 weeks or so.

If be very surprised if a couple of weeks makes a big difference, but another three months - no idea.

Thanks. I didn't think it would be too detrimental if at all. But I became aware yesterday who mentioned their second jab being around that sort of timescale of 14-15 weeks which is why I wondered.

Careful of the teeth if you get too close as she obviously talks out of it.

WALES DATA

5 deaths - was 3 last week

1924 cases - was 2504 last week

A good drop in cases,

BUT TECH ISSUES MEAN NO OTHER DATA - EG POSITIVITY - CAN YET BE POSTED APPARENTLY.

I THINK THE UK NEEDS A RETHINK ON WHOEVER SUPPLIES ITS DATA TECHNOLOGY AS THIS HAPPENS FAR TOO OFTEN

I haven't read one report saying "multiples" more risk of healthy kids being hospitalised with covid vs vaccinations.
most reports are based on unhealthy kids where there is multiples of risk benefit but in healthy kids the risk is equal or marginally better.

eg here - without even taking into account total attack rate, rather just the upcoming in the next few weeks.

I'd be interested in your sources.

most reports are based on unhealthy kids where there is multiples of risk benefit but in healthy kids the risk is equal or marginally better.

And the MHRA approval for all 12=15yos, no just those "unhealthy"

The MHRA concludes positive safety profile for Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine in 12- to 15-year-olds

This follows a rigorous review of the safety, quality and effectiveness of the vaccine in this age group.

www.gov.uk

The EMA and FDA and several other regulatory agencies have also approved on the same overall risk/benefit basis.

And I think total doses are now into the tens of millions in children worldwide.

there is also onward transmission benefits.

both me and my wife are in the the vulnerable category and immuno suppressed and we have a 14 year old at school.

he doesn’t want to pick it up at school and pass it on to either of us . Even though we are double jabbed it could still be nasty for either of us To catch it

he is keen to have it .

Sound like you have brought up a well balanced kid there, they have worked out the non existent risk of COVID to themselves the small risk of rejection to the drug and balanced it out to your high risk ,

ENGLAND HOSPITAL DEATHS

This is hopeful news today too after last week's rises.

TUESDAY REMEMBER IS ALWAYS THE BIG CATCH UP DAY BECAUSE OF LACK OF WEEKEND REGISTRATION SO USUALLY THE HIGHEST NUMBER

Today it is:-

142 with 20 North West

Last week was 182 with 21 North West

Week before it was a Bank Holiday so the 24 with 5 was meaningless (it was 196 with 22 the following day - the real catch up number then).

Week before then it was 153 with 16 NW

So today is the lowest number on a Tuesday in a month.
