Good news day continues

744 England hospital deaths - well down on the 993 last Friday.

Biggest week to week fall in ages.

We may be seeing the first signs of the vaccine plus lockdown working

Ah class! Feels like a couple of days of really, really good news.

And we still have at least 38 days until proper lockdown ends with the schools going back. Should be another 8-12 million vaccinated by then and cases and deaths should be miles down.

That is on a par with the flu jab every year.

And what matters as is said over and over as it is true is not getting REALLY ill from it as opposed to catching it and it being not much milder than death.

If you just have a winter bug not a death sentence really that is what matters with these vaccines. Especially as it saves the health service from seeing hospitals swamped that kill others by the fall out.

It is going to be a hard struggle getting many people to see this though if these figures are not properly explained.

Bloody hell how many different vaccines do we have now. The logistics behind who gets what is going to be interesting.

Spot on.

There are no guarantees that having any vaccine with prevent you from getting Covid but all of them appear to hugely reduce the chances of becoming seriously ill or dying.

The J&J vaccine appears to be highly effective as a single shot vaccine and possibly it might be backed up with a second dose depending on the outcome of the ongoing trial.
