Coronavirus (2021) thread

What I would say is that your info is better! The ones people post on Twitter doesn't have the 3wks vs 2wks vs 1wk vs today angle. Just this week and last week. Seeing where its come from 3 weeks ago is very useful. It is of course your choice though and im defo sure we all appreciate the hard work :)

Not a problem, I have the time. That is not an issue for me. Will happily keep doing the 3 week v 2 week v last week v today comparisons.

I have not been doing them as often recently as the Christmas/New Year data was screwed up by the way there were multi day totals given that made comparisons largely meaningless on some dates. But we are reaching the end of when that will be a factor, of course.

Didn’t they do a rolling assessment of the data as it became available to speed up the final approval? Not sure if this was only for the AZ or all vaccines.

@Gabriel thinks that too.

This slightly surprises me.
Split of vaccines from up to 17th Jan Az 6.6% Pfizer 93.4 % Taken from the chart here.

@Healdplace yes we can see the national numbers elsewhere (e.g. @UKCovid19Stats ) but I very much welcome your intelligent and personal commentary on things so please don't step back from commenting.

Surely that works both ways if it was true, then England as well as being ahead with in the community vaccinations would also be at 95% in care homes and staff like Scotland not 65%.

That 95% makes a good sound bite but what's the actual number of residents vaccinated?

Why does that matter? 95% vaccinated is safer for all the residents and staff than less. As many deaths were in care homes getting them done is the highest priority. I know 80 year olds that are waiting for theirs, but as they are a home and can't go out they are relatively safe waiting for another week, compared to those living in group homes with regular outside professionals visiting.

Thank you and I was never planning that. Just not duplicating the daily Twitter data posts.

I will as noted still do the 4 weeks v 3 wks v 2 wks v Today daily reports.

Rather surprised that my 46 year old sister who works in sexual health/education in Scotland, but has worked from home constantly since March is being vaccinated on Weds.

Can't argue with care homes being a priority but the roll out across the country isn't good. Like I've said it makes a good sound bite but in reality it's only around 30,000 residents. Obviously there's a few on the isles that aren't so easy to reach but with only the 5% remaining she really should be getting more into elderly at large.
