Coronavirus (2021) thread

So I had the Astra Zeneca jab today at 13:30 in Altrincham. I think he said they were doing the 60-65 age range now. I feel okay so far just done some shopping but I guess it's early days.

If you don’t mind me asking which age range do you fall into?

The age group mentioned.

I'd say the manufacturers (eg Pfizer) want to see it utilised in the way it has been intended and tested. Variation from its intended use *may* result in them choosing to prioritise orders that are being used as planned.

It's twofold reasoning. One, it's been tested to be more effective this way, and they want their vaccines effectiveness to be as high as possible to demonstrate for future sales. But also means they sell half the amount, so less £££ for them.

You've responded to a conversation about the Johnson and Johnson 1 dose vaccine with a rant about Pfizer.

Does it still say how many had underlying health issues or has that data stopped now. Seems quite a high number 40-59 age group.

They usually release that data later to the media. But the 40 - 59 age range is not noticeably different day to day. It is at the high end today I agree. And it is possible that we will start to see increases in these lower age ranges as the vaccine takes effect as it will be protecting - hopefully - the over 80s who got it the first and you would expect those numbers to fall most along with the drop in overall numbers.

It does not mean anything specific about the virus. Just a statistical consequence of vaccinating the most vulnerable first.

 

[Healdplace]

29, 079 cases

735, 099 pillar 1 & 2 tests

Positivity 4%



The system has blown a fuse again and deaths will be announced later due to this.

Dubai blamed for virus cases abroad; questions swirl at home

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — After opening itself to New Year's revelers, Dubai is now being blamed by several countries for spreading the coronavirus abroad, even as questions swirl about the city-state's ability to handle reported record spikes in virus cases.

apnews.com

“In Israel, more than 900 travelers returning from Dubai have been infected with the coronavirus, according to the military, which conducts contact tracing. The returnees created a chain of infections numbering more than 4,000 people, the Israeli military told the AP.”


Absolutely no one could’ve foreseen this.

Is it?, I’d have thought the number ending up in hospital is more than 1% of people that catch it ?

And not forgetting all those who go on to suffer with Long Covid. The notion that 99% who get it just shake it off after a couple of weeks and that’s it, is fanciful.

443985 vaccines in UK today, big numbers again

I wouldn't place much credence in the current figures shown in the worldometer ( JH University in the US )

It says Australia has over 1800 actives when Sky News a much more reliable media reporting Public Health releases each day by State says we have 84 in total.

Far too much attention is focused on the active numbers and total new cases each day.

What matters is the death rates and r factor and world wide the mild to serious ratios which have steadily been coming down for sometime now at 0.4 which is encouraging is so called reliable reporting is to be believed.

I notice Biden in one of the 40 Executive Orders he has signed in 9 days all basically designed for " Unity " but in reality to undo the legacy of Trump in the name of unity which is typical of the left has given carte blanche for 9 million illegal immigrants to cross the border.

Perhaps he can given them all the three masks Fauci says its best to wear now as opposed to none he said was necessary a few months back that will do the trick nicely.

Good luck on introducing mass covid super spreading with that order Joe but of course we must unify America and fight the virus as he says

In other words lets get rid of all the non democrat voters first through covid death or as many as possible OF COURSE A FEW DEMOCRAT VOTERS WILL HAVE TO DIE AS A CONSEQUENCE AS LONG AS THEY DON'T MAKE IT TO WDC AND THE DEEP STATE and reintroduce OBAMA CARE (lol).

Seriously between him Harris and Pelosi they might outlive the rest of the US population.

The guy is a complete and utter nutter and China who won this election for him are laughing all the way to world domination.

QAnon want their log in details back mate
