RE: UK Covid death toll - foreveralbion - 04-25-2021
Seems a strange time to protest when we are only weeks away from complete normality within the UK.
I think we could have opened up a bit earlier but we are where we are and it looks like the vaccines have worked

I'm in the same space.
This lot yesterday are as bad as the BLM lot last year
RE: UK Covid death toll - Kit Kat Chunky - 04-28-2021
ONS stats today say antibodies at 68.3% of population at 11th April. This has to be above 70% today.
Is that herd immunity now?

my crude maths suggests that with the lag for the vax to take effect (3 weeks) and 25% of the population already having A/Bs from infection (thus meaning 25% of those vaxed already have A/Bs) then we are probably at 75% once everyone vaxed has developed A/Bs. So probably around another 6 weeks before we reach that 80% level. That just about ties in with the earliest date of June to release all restrictions.
RE: UK Covid death toll - baggy1 - 04-29-2021
Far too early to say KKC as there are too many variables with this virus. We don't know how long the antibodies last for those that have had either covid or the jab at this point and the 25% of the population figure is another unknown as there could have been many more that didn't show symptoms. The telling point will be this winter when we will get a better picture if the hospitalisations start to rise significantly again.
In the meantime all is looking good and when I get today's figures it should show that we are still on that nice '20% reduction in hospitalisations a week' rate meaning that the relaxations are not causing a slow down in the recovery. Looking at how the rest of the world is coping, India obviously but Turkey and Germany in lockdown, France under heavy restrictions and the UK ploughing ahead with the vaccination program. If we ease up now by either speeding up the relaxations of the lockdown and / or start to hit resistance / reluctance to take the jab by the under 50s then it could put a spanner in the works.

The under 50's is the problem. The number of over 50's taking the jab is fantastic. Hopefully this will continue through the age groups.
JVT is sounding positive. He has been the best communicator through this situation.

Definitely, I've been impressed with his approach. There may be a horrible irony in the disaster that is taking place in India which may cause the take up in the Asian population to be higher. From what BB and others were saying there was a resistance to taking the jab for many reasons in that community, I wonder if the current tragedy will change their views on that.

Another week, another 20% fall in the numbers in hospital. This is despite the relaxations on April 12th for shops, gyms, barbers and outdoor dining and eating all being brought into the mix, they have not impacted in the continued reduction of those in hospital - All good news. The next relaxation on 17th May will be interesting and hopefully continue on the same path.
The biggest difference this year compared to last Autumn is the vaccination programme which continues at a good speed and is now open for anyone over 42 (it did make me wonder why they chose 42 and not 45 or 40 but finding out that Matt Hancock is 42 got rid of that question as why wouldn't he fix it so that he was looked after
). Currently 65% of the adult population have had the 1st jab and nearly 27% have had both - these are impressive numbers as they have managed to keep the volume up. It will be interesting to see what the uptake is going forward especially with the news from around the globe of outbreaks and lockdowns. Hopefully it will continue to be high.

You make a good point on the Asian community. Hopefully they will buy in. We are still running at 850K 1st jabs a week, and hopefully that will increase when we are over the hump of second jabs. Given the large number of Pfizer doses announced yesterday, I think they believe that a boost of Pfizer for everyone should keep this at bay (at least that's what I'm hoping).
