Francis Albert Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 1 hour ago, redjambo said: Death "rate". No, that wouldn't therefore be absolute numbers since Covid struck. I was referring to the figures maintained by worldometer.com and of which I posted a snapshot on the previous page of this thread, i.e. deaths per million population officially reported as being due to Covid since the beginning of the pandemic. Annual rate. Quarterly rate. Monthly rate. Weekly rate. Daily rate. Take your pick. As people do. The UK record so far has been terrible but I have seen definitions used e.g. by the Guardian ignoring for example population numbers to suit an agenda. And of course there is no universal definition of what constitutes a Coronavirus death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfirst Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) According to the FT, a report due to be published on Monday will state that the AZ vaccine has significantly reduced efficacy against the SA variant. Not good news, but may explain the government's apparent urgency to test everyone in specific postcodes in England. https://www.ft.com/content/e9bbd4fe-e6bf-4383-bfd3-be64140a3f36?sharetype=blocked Edited February 6, 2021 by Footballfirst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let go of the politics & try to see a reasonable answer to the issue raised by FF Look at Falkirk & Clacks figures. Do you think Forth Valley will be able to provide enough ICU beds. What about the Health Boards in the west of the country. I'm sure I read a couple of weeks ago Lanarkshire were having to divert patients.

FWJ Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 That’s disappointing news about AZ and the SA variant - but I daresay work is already being done in tweaking a vaccine to accommodate this. It’ll be interesting to see if there is any benefit to mixing the first and second vaccines you receive (bit in the news a couple of days ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or T cells too? Allied to natural immune responses in the vast majority of the population, the reduced efficacy will just mean some suffer mild symptoms. Hopefully it won't make much difference in the scheme of things as the vaccines are, apparently, easily tweaked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to Scotland (but obviously in a far greater scale) in that the population is packed into condensed areas and then there are large parts of the country with barely anyone for miles and miles.

Ahm no votin SNP again unless Krankie comes tae the hoose and drives the wife there and back. It's no as if she's got anything else to dae 😁 Ha, ha. The vaccination progress across all 4 nations is going great. With the vaccination plan the Q of the SG is why did you (on the face of it) stick as rigidly to align resources to the JCVI priorities and not consider as the other 3 have to do ramp up a bit earlier? But to get this ramp up we will now be having more variances where more and more folk may appear to be jumping others in the queue, but the vast majority will be done by their cohort target date. It's annoying hearing same folk moaning about why the above is happening and 'post code lottery' when these are the very factors that need to happen to support a quicker rollout. It just isn't possible to prioritise everyone in number order 1 to 4.4m, or by individual Health Board area or align everyone to what makes it easiest to get to the closest vaccination centre. That said, the SG don't appear to be willing to stick it's neck out to say so and the opposition arguing against doing the very things their parties are arguing for or against in other parts of the UK dependent if they are in power or opposition.
