And at the school local to me. I also heard of someone getting covid lately that has had both jabs. Fortunately, she isn't anything like seriously ill. It's still out there guys.

If they're vaccinated then it might well have helped them in that regard.

The concern with this is that it comes two weeks after Eid when a number of families would have got together to celebrate and that the increases in hospitalisation is in specific areas that would indicate the get togethers have led to this. This may be one to watch and the date of the 21st June is going to be in the balance because of this i suspect. If we open up fully and replicate the local increases nationally we will have a problem. Basically those local increases have wiped out the rest of the countries decreases. As for the vaccinations they roll on and look like are needed desperately. I had my 2nd jab yesterday and the chap at the millennium point centre told me they are processing 2k a day now, an excellent piece of organisation. Approaching 75% of the adult population has had the 1st jab and we should hit the 50% mark for both jabs by next week. 30 year olds can now apply to get theirs and my lad is booked in - encourage everyone you know to get theirs.

I'm seriously hoping there'll be no major hitches re opening up. Protect the NHS wasn't it? Surely we can manage by simply implementing localised measures?

So long as hospitalisations stay low, we should be fine, but that spike comes slightly after infections.

ONS reported that 76% had antibodies as at 3rd May.
2nd jabs will slow in 2 weeks, mirroring slowdown in 1st jabs in April. This should give capacity to increase first jabs. I reckon they will try and vaccinate 12-16 year olds before summer school hols. I think we are going to have to be careful until mid July until more 2nd jabs given. Only 10% of hospitalisations have had 2 jabs, and I would guess that some of these are people with frailties.

Agree with all that KKC, I see that Germany have started giving jabs to kids now so it should be announced soon for us I reckon. People have to realise that there will still be deaths from covid even with both jabs because it isn't giving immunity, it's giving people more of a chance to fight it. But the 10% figure is positive as without the jabs it, in theory, would be many more. I'm desperate for the restrictions to be removed entirely but I think most people will understand the reasoning behind any delay if the numbers start to go in the wrong direction and we need to put the brakes on for a few more weeks.

With the relaxation at stage 3 on the 17th May we are now seeing two weeks later a small increase in hospitalisations which will probably see the final relaxation due in 3 weeks being delayed if it continues like this. It would be interesting to see a breakdown in ages and vaccinated / not vaccinated numbers to get a view on who is being affected. The hope that we have is the vaccine rollout being continued in the same way for the under 30s as it has for those over. So far we are at 75% of the adult population having had 1st doses and 50% having had both. 18 to 30 accounts for about 20% of the population and there appears to be a good interest from that age group so we should get to over 85% at this rate if only half of them take the offer up. One of those turning point moments but I would be very surprised if the government allow the removal of restrictions on the 21st if nothing changes.

Can't see the removal of restrictions on the 21st, I'm not optimistic for any kind of summer. Quite how they seem to have fucked it up again is staggering.

I think it's early days to see it as a fuck up but as restrictions ease we have seen what difference each stage has made - this was the appropriate way of managing the easing out of lockdown. Having got that right IMO and also having done a great job in rolling out the vaccine they have dropped an almighty bollock with allowing people into the country from countries such as India when we knew they were in trouble. It was clear weeks ago that once the world was showing signs of a third / fourth or whichever wave that we needed have really strict controls on the borders, we basically installed a fantastic alarm system and improved the locks on all the doors and windows but just left the patio windows open for anyone to walk in.
