They have announced all settings deaths as 236 and vaccination first doses as 21. 358, 815.

That is 31.3% of the entire UK population - children included.

39% adults only - as children not being vaccinated in the plans as yet.

But not cases as yet.

Another reason for the delayed data btw - they have discovered a lot of older cases that they are now redefining as Covid death and adding into the numbers today.

Presumably the true reason for the ones going back to 49 weeks ago added in England today.

Also some cases they missed being added too

As I have said before we have no clue who makes any other vaccine we have - eg the annual flu jab.

We should have just called this the Covid vaccine and not created a rivalry of manufacturers.

Hopefully we will learn from that in future.

Creating a rivalry has undoubtedly cost lives.

It's AZ via their Medimmune brand.

Agree with the post.

The various attempts to compare these vaccines are futile. Folk on here have been going on about how they want to choose a particular one.

The bottom line is "They're all good, find something better to argue about!"

It's interesting that the more knowledgeable people are, the less they care about which vaccine they get.

Yea I agree

Just think a lot of the PR is different between the Oxford and the rest of them

J&J, Pfizer and Moderna any results always seem to come out with some slick PR release with headline grabbing figures to boost their share price.

Where as the Oxford/Az, certainly at first at least gets people from the Uni making the announcement and some theories on how things could be better etc. Can't help think it would be different if it was the Big Pharma handling the trials and announcements rather than the Uni.

Where are the real world results seem to show no difference between them really. The Oxford one is the one that should be getting all the credit really seeing as it's being distributed at cost etc. Nobel Prize stuff.
 
Isle of Man today had 59 new cases. That is one tenth of the entire number of cases - 605 - that have been identified on the island since the virus arrived one year ago.

That probably makes it the most infected place in the British Isles right now.
 
England hospital regions:

Despite both Hancock and the BBC saying repeatedly in the past hour that there are MORE than 12,000 in hospital and that is too high. It is in fact untrue.

It was NOT 12,000 yesterday as I posted here then and is today even further down and only just over 10,000.

It does worry me that our health secretary and national broadcaster are happy to quote inaccurate data.


UK total Patients : - England 8594 + Wales 891 + Scotland 666 + N Ireland 242 Total: 10,393

UK total ventilators :- England 1417 + Wales 42 + Scotland 64 + N Ireland 27 Total 1550


Total Patients England down 498 today to 8594 and Ventilators down today 37 to 1417
 
England hospital data Regions:

Regions:



Patient // Ventilators // change in past 24 hours and v last week


East down 63 to 864 v 1239 // UP 2 to 131 v 147

Midlands down 115 to 1928 v 2648 // down 4 to 291 v 362

Some of that is because AZ have no background in vaccines, and have very few properly qualified people to speak - as far as I know, AZ are providing the power behind the testing, and also the logistics/financial muscle in hooking up with local companies.

Just 0.14% of secondary school Covid tests are positive

Around 3,000 positive Covid test results have been recorded by secondary schools since the beginning of the year, with pupils slightly more likely to test positive than staff. NHS Test and Trace statistics show that just 0.14 per cent of all lateral flow tests (LFTs) results reported by...

just 0.14% of kids back to secondary school tests positive.

shows a low prevalence in society ?

No it doesn't show low prevalence in society as you can take multiple tests. If 10 people take 10 tests each and of those 100 tests one comes back positive the prevalence is 10% not 1%.

How are they doing with the Vaccine roll out?

No it does not matter unless you expect our government and state broadcaster to actually have staff who care enough about the biggest story they may ever cover to want to not be two days late on reporting data any person in the UK can see is wrong if they have a computer and know where to look.

As in the NHS - which I would hope our Health Secretary has heard of.

This has been the main problem throughout the whole pandemic nobody believes or trusts the government so therefore everybody has never been fully onboard. The press have been even worse.

It is baffling what is happening on the Isle of Man. They had everything under control, opened up and are the worst they have ever been. I'm afraid though if any country thinks they are going to have zero covid I think they will be sadly mistaken.

It's true, I go for my Flu jab every year and haven't got a clue who made it, same when i had the Pneumonia jab, I also have to go into Hospital every 8 weeks as a day patient to have a infusion for a condition I have and it means I can live a normal life so couldnt give a toss who makes it
