scottsdad Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I wonder if we are near the peak of this "third wave" yet. Certainly feels like the rise in infections is slowing down, and hospital numbers going down instead of up shows that the vaccines are utterly bossing this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Daily Cases Update: Bit of an uptick today with a 2.90% rise and infectivity to 4.1%. Scotland clear at the top of the European charts at 119.5, Spain in 2nd place at 72.8. In fact only Georgia & Some South American countries are currently more infectious. Weird with our Vaccine progress and relative restrictions. Scotland of course officially only has about 4.5% of it's population ever tested positive. Over 10% in the US as an example. The European cycles just seem so different to the UK. I suspect the Indian Variant has yet to kick off (Like with the Kent). We shall see. Scotland peaked at 301.9 for figures 29th Dec to 4th Jan, (UK was 642.1) Cases that day were 16,496 and test positivity rate was 11.9% Total Cases 7 days from 6th June to 13th June were 6344 now 6528 up 2.90%. Positivity was 4.0% now 4.1%. Cases per 100k were 116.1 now 119.5 Home Nations Daily update: UK Average 67.5 to 70.2 up 4.00%, England 67.1 to 69.9 up 4.17%, Wales 20.5 to 22.1 up 7.80%, Northern Ireland 31.4 to 33.4 up 6.37% Major countries in Europe.

Elixir Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Quote Posted at 13:42 Use 'personal judgement' on masks from 19 July - Public Health England director Copyright: EPA People will need to use their judgement when it comes to decisions like wearing face coverings once restrictions are eased in England on 19 July, Public Health England's Covid-19 strategic response director has said. Dr Susan Hopkins says it will be up to individuals to decide whether they wear face coverings in shops, but they could be mandatory in more tightly confined spaces. "I think there will be a certain amount of social responsibility that people will take, particularly for those that are elderly or immunocompromised or at higher risk of infection," she tells MPs on the Science and Technology Committee. "I think we will all need to make decisions for ourselves, particularly on wearing masks, using better ventilation, hand hygiene." She adds: "So we may find that some people, not all, will change their behaviours, and particularly those that are more concerned about their health or the health of people they live with. It will be for governments to decide what rules and regulations will need to be in place and what legislation will need to continue after 19 July." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 So we’re in a situation now where we have 15 covid patients in ICU across the whole country despite cases rising for weeks. We may or may not be able to move to level 0 in 4.5 weeks as we just don’t know and also there is a risk of ‘long covid’. ‘Greater normality’ as laid out in an SG report may or may not be possible at ‘some point’. We are now so far from the purpose of restrictions it’s unreal. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 The newly appointed Sir Andrew Pollard dropping some truth bombs today as well. One of the good guys throughout this shit show - and someone who is genuinely useful for the whole world, unlike 'public health' weirdos. Quote Posted at 10:56 UK is 'going to have to live with' Covid transmission - vaccine expert Copyright: EPA Professor Sir Andrew Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, says the UK is "going to have to live with" Covid-19. Speaking to the Commons Science and Technology Committee, Prof Pollard says "variants and their emergence" will "continue to happen". "But in the end, we're going to have to come back to focusing on the really important public health issue, which is the hospitalisation and the death," he adds. "If transmission is disconnected by vaccine immunity from the severe disease, to a large extent, then we'll need to monitor new variants, perhaps, if we need to find new vaccines and so on - but we are going to have to live with it being in in our communities and transmitting." Quote Posted at 11:14 Crisis over if vaccines continue to protect against hospital admissions - scientist Copyright: Getty Images A bit more from the Commons Science and Technology Committee now, which is hearing evidence on the UK's Covid response. A scientist who helped develop the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine says the public crisis will be "over" if the protection provided by vaccines against hospital admissions continues. Prof Andrew Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Groups, says Public Health England data published this week is "incredibly reassuring". The analysis suggests the Oxford-AstraZeneca and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines are both more than 90% effective at prevnting hospitalisation after two doses. "That's the key bit that we have to look at with future variants, if that very high protection against hospitalisation continues, despite spread in the community, then the public health crisis is over," Prof Pollard tells MPs. "And so far, up to Delta, we're in a very good position, as long as we've got people vaccinated," he adds, referring to the strain first identified in India. But he warns that the World Health Organization is investigating variants up to Kappa, and "there are a lot more Greek alphabet letters still to go through". Quote Posted at 14:36 Vaccine tweaks 'might not cover all emerging variants' Copyright: PA Media One of the key developers of the AstraZeneca vaccine says it might not be possible to keep tweaking vaccines to provide protection against all possible future variants of the coronavirus. Professor Andrew Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, says vaccines could be modified to cope with existing variants – but there is no way of telling what might emerge in future. He tells the Commons Science and Technology Committee: “The problem is that if we tweaked one, for example now for the Delta variant, we may well have the Omega variant or the Epsilon variant, or the Kappa variant, and you would have to then potentially be tweaking the vaccines very regularly. "And I just don't think that is going to be achievable during this period where there's so much transmission going on around the world and new variants are going to be thrown up.” Prof Pollard says it might be possible to stay on top of changes to the virus if we get to a more stable situation, where one dominant version of the virus emerges each year. In that case – like flu – an annual update to vaccines might be sufficient. He stresses that the current vaccines provid very high levels of protection against hospitalisation for all existing variants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
