Yeah that's just saying that the India variant is crushing the SA and Brazil variants in the battle for 2nd behind the Man City like Kent variant
Not really, isn't this is just showing that India is the best placed runner up rather than any threat to the good old Kent variant which represents 99% of cases
I personally think that all restrictions in school will have gone. I’ve been asked to start the planning for next years timetable with none in place.I I am sick to death of the teaching restrictions by now, if we start the new year with boxes, masks and all that I’ll jump

I mean technically some people still in their 30s are already eligible, like me cos I’m 40 before 1st July.
They seem to be absolutely flying through these. I wonder if it’s just easier to get people or if take up is lower, or just more supply.
You know what they mean though, this’ll be half of the 30-39s. I think it’s a combination of increased supply and a shift away from second doses as fewer of those are due in May.

Edit: just reading that and it’s saying they’re stockpiling 1m Pfizer a week for when they get to under 30s. Why not just start calling U30s now and get them jabbed?
bit if both I would guess. I know some who’ve been called in early for second jabs which suggests there may be a higher cancellation rate in age categories
The second doses are rocketing up - it wasn’t long ago that we were level with rates of second jab with most European countries - now we are up to 22% with many euro countries stuck at 10%
Well, it'll explain why Mrs Wisdom got her call for second vaccine earlier than expected, so I assume it's doing second jabs for those Pfizerites first.just reading that and it’s saying they’re stockpiling 1m Pfizer a week for when they get to under 30s.

As and when Novavax is approved we’ll already have the doses made within the UK ready to be used right away. They get that done soonish we’ll beat the end of July target no problemIs supply now higher than March? Feels like we’re going faster now. I didn’t expect to get done before I was 40 on previous projections.
I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point they’ll be a combined flu jab so you have one jab a year that covers seasonal flu and Covid 19.Question for the science bods.
If the at risk section of the population require yearly boosters do you think they will stick with the same vaccine as people had for the first two or will the boosters be more mix and match?
They're different types of vaccine entirely though aren't they?I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point they’ll be a combined flu jab so you have one jab a year that covers seasonal flu and Covid 19.
Isn’t there more than 1 type of flu vaccine and more than 1 type of Covid vaccine? Not thinking that they’d combine two of the current available vaccines anyway, was thinking that at some point someone will develop a combined vaccine at some point simply for the reason it makes sense if both need doing on an annual basis.They're different types of vaccine entirely though aren't they?
To be honest mate it’s been a shit show over here. You won’t be surprised to hear that originally and still now depending on the state it’s really only easy to get a vaccine if you’re able to constantly be at a computer and refresh, and able to go to a Walgreens or somewhere at random times of the day. Think nice cushdy office jobs and remote working and flexibility...Here's a slightly more bizarre report however:
Millions Are Skipping Their Second Doses of Covid Vaccines (Published 2021)
Nearly 8 percent of those who got initial Pfizer or Moderna shots missed their second doses. State officials want to prevent the numbers from rising.www.nytimes.com
Now having got the first... why on earth wouldn't you finish it off?!?
Tbf I'm conflicted. Part of me thinks with numbers as they are and the vaccine clearly doing what it needs too, why not open up a week or 2 earlier?
But on that, the roadmaps actually worked a treat so far so why deviate?

Think about it this way, another 2 weeks means another 6/7/8 million jabs and full immunity for the second jabs so far. Hold the course.

Also, even when everyone’s vaccinated there’s going to be another 30k deaths minimum. That just goes up the earlier we open.
It’s frustrating as hell, but I still think we’ve got the best mix of vaccine delivery and lockdown on the planet. The Yanks are basically open and are losing 700 people a day still despite being at roughly our levels of vaccination.
Yeah, it's easy to say open up early when you've had a vaccine!Think about it this way, another 2 weeks means another 6/7/8 million jabs and full immunity for the second jabs so far. Hold the course.

I won't be comfortable doing such things until all people involved have been vaccinated. It's not perfect, so I'd rather depress things down both on my side, and other peoples' side really - as much so I've done as much as I can, and don't finish other people off for the sake of a week or two!Getting contacted by people wanting to do free for all gatherings in June. Good chance I still won’t have immunity by then and Mrs BSB definitely won’t, so we’re declining. Not going to let a last minute COVID infection scupper the wedding.
Good for the huge numbers who are lucky to have had it I suppose
