Vaccination update including weekly figures:

My parents are both 69. Both had their Oxford AZ jabs this morning 👍🏻

A couple of my aunts are this week too. 

This shit is nearing it's end for my family.

Nice 😉 

Good to hear about them getting the vaccine too.

Good intel.

That makes it a tougher lockdown than the U.K. with the weekend curfew in particular.

Yeah.

Meanwhile on a BBC article on the hotel quarantine, it mentions 2 people who are now quarantined, but they have came in to the UK via flights from Madrid/Frankfurt.

Some bolloxs mentioned by a #10 spokesperson that the planes are Covid secure and the 'process' starts when they land.. what a complete waste of time.

Interesting thread 

 

 

Let's not forget if the virus is seasonal which we have no real reason to say it isn't, then the deaths and infections will fall to next to nothing just as they did last year. The real gauge of vaccine success is going to be when we get to Oct/Nov and what the infections look like. If it goes to plan and they give boosters we should never see the likes of the amount of deaths we did this January. Hopefully! Or its all been a massive waste of time ha

The plan is to have the entire vaccination programme finished by September (if the data for kids is good, they are pencilled in for September). Talk at the moment is for most restrictions to be lifted by summer, but that international travel will have to wait. If things go the way they have in Israel, then they’ll adapt, but being cautious at the moment. 

For reasons I cannot explain or justify I'm hesitant to get my daughter vaccinated though she is only 2 so that may never be a decision I have to make. Do you know the age range they are currently doing research on and considering vaccinating?

Thanks. They're very young 69 year olds but I've been very concerned about what might happen if they caught it. Obviously still am as they're not safe yet, but light at the end of the tunnel.

Interesting, thanks. Does this not take into account the supply constraints for next 2 weeks or so though? I guess 2 weeks' delay in the grand scheme of things is nothing anyway.

An interesting study from the Technical University Berlin:

In the study, which has yet to be checked by a panel of experts, the likelihood of infection 
in different interior spaces was compared - with the result that larger cultural institutions with a 
correspondingly large amount of space and good ventilation systems pose comparatively little risk. 
For example, in a German high school with full occupancy and without masks, the risk of infection is 
23 times as high as in a theater that is 30 percent occupied and in which the audience is wearing masks.

The decline in deaths certainly looks to be dropping at a steeper rate 

And not lifting the lockdown a few days after it starts to work helps too!  But you'd imagine the vaccines are doing something now.  I think their biggest effect might be in the cases not springing back up as soon as restrictions are lifted.

From 6 onwards

My Mother-In-Law had some pretty awful side effects from here AZ jab on Friday - she says she's "not felt that bad in years".  Properly laid up.  Sunday better than Saturday and heading towards normality today, although still not quite right.

An immune response like that implies she'd already been infected, which suggests that I probably was too - she's in my support bubble.

By average, he's allowing for a reduction in the next 2 weeks with extra capacity in the beginning of March

Same thing happened to my friend who has covid in Dec

A little optimistic I think (hopefully wrong!).

Most journalists seem to suggest a reduced supply over the next couple of weeks plus the second dose information isn't correct.

Also, the second doses by April 4th isn't accurate either. The gap is not always 12 weeks. My dad was vaccinated on Jan 24th and he will get his second does on April 4th. My mum had hers earlier in Jan and will also be before April 4th.

For him to suggest we only need to do ~2m second doses by April 4th is very wide of the mark.

Yeah true. I was offered mine for 10.5 weeks after!

Mental Health Spokesperson will be on the next briefing hopefully.

Swedish government still sticking with end of June (Midsommar) to have "offered the vaccine to all over-18s", but the local Stockholm council have said today that they're predicting it to take another couple of weeks, they're saying mid July for the capital. 

My 40th is on July 1st, would love a big fat vaccine shot for my birthday.
