It will reflect the drop in cases as well as protective effects of vaccination. As Whitty said this is going to be a slow decline
You wouldn’t expect such a large drop from vaccines surely? I’d have thought you’d see the effects gradually as we started vaccinating gradually and immunity builds gradually.
Might just be an outlier. Wait for three straight days maybe.
They have probably asked Dido to do the figures she is the Tory Diane Abbott
Priti Patel is the Tory Diane Abbott. Harding isn't an MP
Patel is nasty Abbot is just dopey. Harding is a disaster you would think that she was married to a Tory mp to have got theses roles.

900 deaths today are a result of cases 3-4 weeks ago. I suspect this is a reporting quirk more than anything. The first place you would expect to see the impact of vaccines is on hospital admission / ICU admission I think.
Yeah, you, shmmeee and Fernando are right, the deaths will be a slow decline unfortunately but hopefully heading in the right direction.
What will be interesting is whether the findings that the AZ vaccine (hopefully) reduces tranissibility will alter the modelling. I think the ones Witty was referring to assume the vaccines have no impact on transmissibility.
Assuming the vaccines’ efficacies remain strong (ie no issues with new variants) in conjunction with reduced transmissibility, we could start seeing a real positive impact on case numbers sooner than currently forecast. Let’s hope so anyway
ps for those interested, 469k vaccines today. 20k new cases (but this is based on 800k tests, which is significantly higher than the last couple of day’s so hopefully reflects a continued declining trend)
The whole cabinet is a cabinet of Diane Abbot, the PM being the biggest Diane Abbot out the lot.Priti Patel is the Tory Diane Abbott. Harding isn't an MP

Didn’t someone say the makeup of patients in ICU is already changing with more younger ones?
Sadly this is always the way isn’t it.Not related to any recent posts but, I was reading something earlier and I worry quite a lot about the gap between the rich and the poor widening massively after this whole pandemic.
Those with jobs for big companies that are able to work remotely continue to do so, and without the usual places to splash money away (pubs, bars, restaurants etc) they are probably saving a good chunk of change more (I know I am).
Those lucky enough to get 80% of their full time salary on furlough will be okay, but there are quite a lot who fall through the gaps. Zero hour contracts, or lower minimum hour contracts, those newly self employed, new business owners with loans and mortgages etc, must be fucked.
What can we do to help?
Sadly this is always the way isn’t it.
When it rains the poor get the wettest, when the sun shines the poor get burnt.
The 2008 banking crisis wholly caused by the exploits and insatiable greed of a privileged few will be being paid off by the poorest members of society for decades to come, this latest crisis will compound that.
Think that had been the case pre vaccination tbh, it's always been the case that most hospital admissions are working aged, just that the most likely deaths are the elderlyDidn’t someone say the makeup of patients in ICU is already changing with more younger ones?

The only possible way to change things would be to completely overhaul the system.I agree and obviously there's nothing we (on SBT) can do about that unfortunately with all the will in the world. But, what can we do? I know MMJ had a season ticket fund...is there a way we can do even tesco vouchers or something? I feel like there would be lots who would need but might be too proud to say so.
Which member of the Johnson family wrote this.
Johnson's Scottish copycat getting high approval ratings for just slightly tweaking whatever he says and does at slightly different times.
Definitely not obsessed with England though.
In line with the quality of the electorate it would seem.The quality of politicians is at an all time low when you look at these people.
Or at least their ability to think critically.In line with the quality of the electorate it would seem.

No definitely not, this cancer is global and its growing.Trump, Bolsonaro, Johnson, Duterte, Modi all in charge at a time when a pandemic lets rip. Not just a British problem unfortunately

The virus isn’t the cancer I’m referring to, the cancer is the machine/system pulling the strings behind the likes of Trump Bolsonaro Boris and co.This disease won't be busted by bullshitters and charlatans, but by those who have dedicated their careers to evidence and academic rigour. That should be a lesson for the world, but it won't be and we'll have climate change causing carnage not long after this (same century) which will also demand scientific innovation as the answer.
