What's the fatality rate, and what's their average age? And how do today's answers compare to before the jabs started?
A lot less than it was pre vaccine. And you can look at the England hospital deaths by age group in my post here this afternoon. That is pretty typical of the day to day numbers.What's the fatality rate, and what's their average age? And how do today's answers compare to before the jabs started?
Caveat noted so it's probable that numbers are likely to fall slowly.Yes, the patient falls should translate into deaths in a week or two as noted above BUT the caveat is there is some evidence that the fall is mostly because under 20 numbers are dropping but over 60s numbers are edging up.
This is in Wales and N Ireland where the patient numbers are not dropping like in England and Scotland but they give the age split data of the cases each day. IF the same thing is happening in England (and there is some hint of that in the Gov UK heat maps) there could be a balance between lower cases and higher vulnerability of the smaller numbers that might take things the other way.
I am not going to get too excited until we see where this pans out. Though the booster jabs on the more vulnerable will hopefully swing it back the other way.
The Zoe numbers are hopeful though and do seem to be tracking Greater Manchester pretty well at the moment.
