We would be doing well with a final death count of 20,000. It was shocking at the time.

On a side note, in a zoom meeting this morning, the funeral director confirmed they were very busy, and shocked to be dealing with a lot of otherwise healthy people in their late 50's & 60's compared to the spring, and the solicitor dealing with probate cases said the same.

Guess this is the deaths catching up with infections, remember everyone starting to be optimistic infections were staring to reverse and this is the other side of that.
Christ what a grim winter this is and I wish my healthcare bods would get a move on with my vaccination (Epping Forest is anyone knows whose dealing with that, lot of old farts around here so suspect it’ll be a while)

Yesterday was a record - and that's a 13% increase on the record.
That's a lot.

Just noticed they've updated the figures on covid patients in hospital, as of Mon 18th, it's now 39,068, the spring peak was 21,648 on 12th April.
And, now 3,947 on ventilation, the spring peak was 3,301.

Its sunny somewhere.
I think people are studying it in detail and it's not as clear cut as it may appear.
What I think the vaccination program is trying to achieve, certainly at the start is to stop the death and maiming in hospitals. If after the vaccination, nobody ends up in hospital, its efficacy is 100% in those terms. We can worry about the medical efficacy and tweak these vaccines later.

What the fuck is this bullshit? It smacks of a decsion made to make the goevenment look good in terms of the amount of people vaccinated:

Vaccinators could lose their licences for giving second doses prematurely
‘There is a complete refusal at the highest levels to grant permission for second doses before 12 weeks’

The decision was made by JCVI so as to save more lives, I don’t see why hospitals should be able to ignore that. Maybe JCVI will change their position as more evidence become available, or maybe they will affirm the current approach. It‘s surely obvious however that such a decision should be made at a national level.
edit: As to the government doing it to look good - they will look good by the total number of doses administered, the number of full vaccine courses administered, and the number of lives saved by vaccination. I don’t see them looking good through the statistic of first doses administered, so the idea that JCVI are doing it this way for PR is kinda weird.
