Yeah, this all differs mate.
Just be reassured you’ll get better eventually.

Tool me nearby 3.5 months to get my fitness relatively normal and I still suffer shortness of breath & coughing episodes.

Back running now though (and gym) which was the hurdle.

The IP is so-so, the vaccine and indeed the process is easily copied (within the context of pharma companies). The real issue here is whether any territory has the guts to remove market exclusivity. It would set an awful precedent and therefore our scoreboard says...
UT URRR.

China have been at it for years, the reason many of the Pfizers/AZ's/J&J's of the world don't market there is because as soon as you submit your dossier it's in the hands of generics manufacturers and you're constantly fighting to keep your exclusivity. Some blockbuster drugs are worth the effort to quickly hoover up a profit but after that it becomes much too much of a ball-ache to maintain.

Great news that you've managed to keep progressing. Do you think the waning of your long COVID symptoms is tied to getting the vaccine? I know that many have reported long COVID symptoms tailing off once they've been vaccinated.
 
England hospital deaths today 21 with just 1 from the NW.

This is up from 13 with 2 last wk

wks before:- 22 with 3, 28 with 4, 34 with 11 and 43 with 2.

Not as bad as it seems as likely still hold over from the extra day with no registering on Monday so akin to a normal Wednesday - though it seems undeniable we are at levels now where a bottoming out effect will be almost inevitable.

The 1 for the NW was in Manchester by the way.

Other regions:- 1 East, 3 London, 8 Midlands, 5 NE & Yorkshire, 1 South East, 2 South West

3 in Dudley and 2 each in Barking and Barnsley the only places with more than 1.

Only 1 of the 21 was older than a month.

And only 1 of the 21 was aged under 60.
 
Northern Ireland data:

0 deaths - was 0 last week

102 cases - was 95 last week

4.9% positivity - was 4% last week

626 rolling 7 day cases - was 624 yesterday & 625 last week - Think you might call that flat!

5 Care Home Outbreaks - was 6 yesterday - was 5 last week,

67 patients - down 5 on yesterday - was 61 last week

5 ventilated - same as yesterday - was 4 last week

The 626 cases by age testing positive:-

0 - 19 (225) 35.9%

20 - 39 (213) 34.1%

40 - 59 (138) 22.0%

60 - 79 (36) 5.8%

80 PLUS (14) 2.2%


As you can see 70% of those testing positive are under 40. And only 8% over 60.

These numbers have continued to spread out as the vaccination programme has progressed.

Not unconnected I would say fairly confidently.

All of this requires consensus at WTO - the Yanks can't do it independently. At least that's what I read - not something I know about.
 
So total deaths with out of hospital England only to add:- 22

Wk to wk: 87 v 53 v 43 v 33 v 29 v 20 v 22 TODAY


And total cases for the three nations with England to add:- 419


wk to wk: 1111 v 695 v 544 v 501 v 414 v 342 v 419 TODAY

(But that is deceptive today as it includes possibly as many as 100 cases held over from yesterday by the data issue in Scotland)
 
Just some good news - full report later on hospital data as usual.

But England hospital patients with Covid fell below 1000 today by 56 to 976.

It is about mid September since it was last in 3 figures. And the UK was near 40,000 in January with England over 90% of that.

The UK could do so also in the next few days hopefully. It is under 200 atop this from all three other nations added.
 
13 all settings deaths

2613 cases - a rather large rise today.

Up 469 on yesterday and v 2445 last week though down on 2729 the Thursday before.

From 1, 198, 341 pillar 1 & 2 tests. Most in 7 days - though last Thursday for fewer cases there were 137, 000 more tests.
 
Unfortunately as I feared from those numbers the North West is a large factor in them going up so much.

Highest number in the region for about 3 weeks. Though still below Yorkshire which was back over 400 again.

Yorkshire had the highest rise in the day - the NW fourth highest increasing by 51.

East and South East also were slightly higher rises than NW (though to lower raw numbers).

The Midlands, NE and other Southern areas including London fell in numbers today.

As for Greater Manchester - Bolton sadly up again to highest in ages and no sign of the Zoe fall. Though Zoe is often a few days ahead of the gov uk data- so fingers crossed.


Greater Manchester almost went over 200 cases today (largely thanks to Bolton) but was at its highest in 3 weeks. Well up on last week. Only two in single figures - with Trafford lowest scorer for the first time in some while - which Zoe pointed to a few days ago and has come out in the data now.

Only Trafford, Stockport and Manchester fell day to day. But Stockport was up week to week. And Bolton was up a massive 36 week to week.

Do you think that the number of cases today is as result of the delays over the bank holiday?

I get dirty looks ALL the time from people in the office as I get year round hayfever style allergies / rhinitis that kick in at a any time.

Need a big sign on my head saying "Its not a cold, its allergies".

Might be worth getting the doc to check if you have nasal polyps. I suffered for years with what I thought was an allergy type reaction (even though it seemingly flared up at random times with no obvious triggers), turns out I had these polyps up there causing all the trouble. Had an op to whip them out and not been anywhere near as bad since.
 
I'm in debate with some COVID denier that's spreading this: https://jermwarfare.com/blog/astrid-stuckelberger
Astrid Stuckelberger of the WHO has supposedly claimed :

I know the claims are bollox...but is this woman authentic? Why would she claim such crap?

Her twitter feed is... ... interesting. On infra red thermometers:

Temperature lasers on the forehead both touching very sensitive areas of the Brain!!

There's lots of links to conspiracy stuff. So she's obviously a nut.
 
I don't know if it's been mentioned or not but there's a Qatari study that finds that the Pfizer vaccine provides very effective protection against severe illness due to the SA variant.
