I guess it depends if you're rolling out your vaccine based on risk or not. If you are, given that it appears men are more at risk in the UK then they probably should be. If you're doing it arbitrarily, then I guess the order matters less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not logistically you will have to source and install these before being able to send the vaccine to them. Once you get further North than say Aberdeen or Perth that could be a nightmare. Anyone know? That’s why I’m getting it so quickly 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 26 minutes ago, sadj said: 1820 deaths today Around two weeks ago UK daily case numbers peaked at over 60K a day. I think that the current death figures are a reflection of that peak. Daily UK case numbers are now down to the mid to high 30Ks so I'd expect a corresponding fall in the death rate to follow in around two weeks time. Add in the increasing impact of the vaccination programme, then the numbers should be further suppressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, but I never imagined that the deaths would be this high and that's with better techniques and treatments compared to the 1st wave.

It's mental Just a note of caution on the figures below as they aren't completely comaprable. The peak number of of UK cases in the first wave was just over 6,000 a day. Testing has obviously ramped up enormously since then, so that we have seen a 10 fold increase in positive cases reported. The peak numbers of daily deaths however was 1,150('ish) so a 10 fold increase in cases has resulted in around a 60% increase in the death rate. The hospitalisation figures would probably be a better comparator, but I don't have them to hand. My gut feel is that the virus is much more widespread than during the first wave but that better treatments are helping keeping the worst of the outcomes just about under control.

I have a friend in Spain who says their news reporting of the situation in the UK is horrific. Meanwhile people on this thread call it propaganda. Utter *****.

Agree entirely That will be the same wee f*d that forces one his MSPs out the party for daring to have a different opinion on the transgender debate. An opinion , unlike Harvie's, that is based on biological evidence. He is wrong on nearly every issue of the day though, so it's hardly surprising.
