New thread 😊

Let's not forget the big letters next to that data on hospitalizations that state.... confidence in this data is LOW.... sounds convincing

Can you link that please @Chatterbox1987 ?

I booked my daughters 5th birthday party for the end of the month, il be absolutely gutted if we can’t do it :( she’s been asking for a birthday party for over a year as she couldn’t have one last year :(

It’s so tough @WaitroseAldi
She could still have her party though? We can do quite a bit at this level and unlikely we’ll go back to level 2?

@Horst

Invite age dropping seems to of slowed down again now. I was expecting the 28-30’s to of opened up by now considering how fast it was dropping.

As I understand it, those aged 30-39 are all in the same vaccination cohort, whereas 28 and 29 year olds are in the next cohort (18-29). So in theory, they could have opened up to everyone aged 30-39 at the same time as they're all in the same position in the "queue". But then the system would crash due to sheer numbers; I believe that happened when they opened to the entire 45-49 group at the same time. So they have to stagger the invites for admin reasons but can move through them quite quickly. Then iirc there's a pause while they work through the appointments booked by that cohort before moving on to the next cohort.

Good luck @TruelyStruttingHotpants

Hope all goes well truely!

Best wishes Truely.

@tobee

Can you link that please *@Chatterbox1987* ?

Just to the left of the info

Sorry its blurry but I assure you it says confidence at the top and low next to the data on increased severity of disease

get well soon @TruelyStruttingHotpants

Hospitals and deaths are down tho not by much

954 people in hospital (this one is gone up)
and 134 in ventilators

Still looking fairly good at the moment. Big jump in cases so the next week or so is going to be important in terms of how they translate to people in hospital (actual beds occupied, not just daily admissions)

I wish that the number of people discharged each day were reported alongside admissions- would help put things into context a bit more

6,238

Tim Spector’s video this week is somewhat reassuring so I recommend watching

@TheChineseChicken Could you link to it please. I have unfortunately just gone on a thread that NannyandJohn is ranting on. I know I should have got off quickly but I now need to watch a reassuring video

Oh bloody hell, you definitely need some help! m.youtube.com/watch?v=3WFckBrljsk&mc_cid=d6e53d1b55&mc_eid=baaceef155

Just listen to his lovely calm voice

NannyandJohn sounds awfully similar to another regular poster.

That's my impression at any rate. Or maybe I'm being nuts?

There are a few posters I think are the same person.

Not nuts at all.

I read I think on bbc website that people are being discharged quickly - not as unwell as 1st/2nd wave.

I meant you are not being nuts @IcedPurple

😂

@PomRuns

😂

I think someone else might be nut (nuts) though. If you catch my drift.

Oooh that Tim Spector video is marvellous. Thank you! Just what I needed as I sit here feeling a bit tired after my second jab (woohoo!)

Oh I do and agree.

Thought I would share this here. Showing clearly how hospital admissions are currently under even the best case scenarios predicted when the road map was drawn up.
So even with recent rises, for the moment at least we are still doing okay.
