Cases creeping up but not massively so just yet. Our trend certainly seems less worrying than what's going on in a lot of European countries but the next few weeks could be crucial with more people spending time indoors, etc.

I agree with this. But I also think they need to give businesses the freedom to decide their own clientele - so if a pub wants to admit vaccinated people only, they should be allowed to do that without legal recourse from the anti-vax mob.

That is obviously based on the assumption that being vaccinated reduces transmission. If the science proves that false then I'll concede that it's a pointless exercise.

I’ve known plenty of clubs and bars who have chosen their own clientele for years.

Some clubs and bars have a certain look they want and will refuse you entry if you don’t look or dress how the owners/promoters want their crowds looking. There are clubs where you can even pre-buy tickets for the event that’s on and you can still be refused entry on the door.

The old saying “if your name’s not down you’re not coming in”, yet the club haven’t even got a guest list only policy, the bouncers have simply been instructed not to let you in dressed like you are.

“No trainers tonight” when you see people with trainers on inside… you are probably just too ugly to get in.

I don’t see what the difference is if some places only want vaccinated people through their doors.
 
Anyone know what ages are people being routinely invited for booster jabs please. I got pushed up the queue for my first 2 jabs because of the volunteering I was doing but I haven’t heard from my GPS about the booster.
 
Daughter out of isolation today, was actually ill with symptoms for less than 48 hours. The adults who caught it around her, all vaccinated are struggling. Absolutely crazy how it effects some and not others. Anyways onwards and upwards. Just glad she's okay. Really scary the first couple of days, really brought it home how quickly it can grab hold of you.

I'm in my 40's and it was just a 48 hr thing for me. Apart from the sense of smell - that was gone for a week or so, and still not 100% after nearly 3 months.

My sis in law is 13 months in without smell or taste.. she can only just smell / taste the strongest scents/tastes.

Anyone over 40 can get one from today. I wouldn't wait for your Gp, go online at the gov UK website and book an appointment or go to a walk in centre doing them
 
With the mandatory vaccines coming in Austria how do they enforce that? If people don’t want to take it now I have no issue however if they end up been admitted to hospital maybe they should have medical instead to cover it.
 
Cases quite high for a Monday - 44,917 - up over 5000 on last Monday.

Most of the rise in England

Full numbers on the Data thread.

Who knows where cases will go from here, but good news is that hospitalisation seems to be defying the upward case trend.

Particularly in age groups most boosted:

Get vaxxed, get boosted.

I've got no issues with people not getting the jab, but I'd personally refuse those who choose not to get the vaccine 'because reasons and they want to take their chances', medical traetment/hospital beds.

This countrys hospital system is fucked and whilst it needs more investment, we need to stop pandering to people who refuse a vaccination for no logical reason. People who cannot get the vaccine for health reasons, is fine.
 
I agree Roubaix.

North West actually FELL over the weekend both in patients and in those on ventilators and currently at its lowest numbers in weeks (905 in hospital and 94 on ventilators) despite the case numbers being high.

The reason is interesting. In the data thread I post the numbers today from Northern Ireland where deaths are falling as are hospital numbers.

Why? Well the numbers aged both 60 - 79 and 80 PLUS have both dropped steadily over the past week or two even as the total cases over the 7 day period have risen in that time from just over 9000 to almost 12,000.

This is because the numbers catching it are around 40 - 45% of school age (more in the 11 - 15 than over 15 too) and the numbers over 60 testing positive are going down despite cases rising.

The risk period will come at Christmas when these kids meet granny not their parents - who are catching it too from the kids as the second highest age range testing positive (20 - 39 is below both the kids and the parents).

This has to be because the boosters are working and the over 60s have had the majority of them so far and - we can hope - as they work their way down the age groups the younger numbers will fall too.

I can even notice that the deaths over 80 are lower most days now than the 60 - 79 age and that really only makes much sense if you factor in the booster going first to the oldest and most vulnerable.
