CovidMessenger live update by council area in England www.covidmessenger.com/
CovidMessanger has a been a great daily resource but will cease until further notice from May 10th. I hope the thread speaks on behalf of the very many posters and lurkers who have greatly valued this service when we say a huge thank you to littleowl for all her work in creating and sharing it.

I would try to have it before so 8 weeks

Yes. It might be good to have the full coverage before op. But it would make it 8/9 weeks should I get a slot (or it'll have to be 13/14 weeks if after op).

@feelinggeriatric

Yes. It might be good to have the full coverage before op. But it would make it 8/9 weeks should I get a slot (or it'll have to be 13/14 weeks if after op).

I'd get it at about 9 weeks so you're covered before the op. Hospitals aren't such a hotbed of infections as they were a few months back, but you're still unavoidably in close contact with a lot of people if you're in for an op. Any possible benefits to a slightly longer dosing interval will almost certainly be outweighed by the benefits of being protected sooner and before your hospital stay. Catching Covid before your op will also delay it, which could pose a further threat to your health too.

@wintertravel1980

81.1% of adult population have received their first vaccine dose in Wales. It is just incredible.

They ignored the JCVI guidelines and started offering Pfizer to younger people before England, Scotland or NI (which was the very smart thing to do). They also offered more AZ to 30+. Looks like this strategy might now be paying off - the prevalence remains very low.

it is indeed. I am Welsh (not living in Wales) so have watched closely. The situation there now is very similar to what it is in Israel.

So the good news is, in a couple of months, perhaps less, all of the UK could be in a similar boat. Fingers crossed.

Thanks so much - got second vaccination rebooked for next Friday at 9 weeks

[quote Frazzled2207]@MRex
Perhaps not closed but not doing under 50s so finishing up with second doses for 50+

I am 43 so lots of my friends have been called recently, everyone has been out of borough to get one, all to places which afaik are pretty inaccessible by public transport

Local GPs have said they can’t carry on vaccinating and offering their usual services. Don’t blame them tbh. But surprised that we’re literally all being sent out of borough[/quote]
Our local gp led centre very publicly announced they would only now be doing second doses for people they had already vaccinated, so everyone else would need to use other sites. I think they were getting lots of phone calls and this approach might have reduced them. When I attended for my second dose,however, I was asked at the door whether I was a first or second dose and there were mainly younger people attending.

Poo tests announced by Health Sec at the briefing this evening! He implied they’re using those in the decisions on where to surge test (so maybe not much India variant in evidence in Bedfordian sewage, piggy? Don’t know, that occurred to me immediately so heard it!)

Also that Jenny Harries’ Biosecurity body is using mobility data to predict spread (iirc).

And we’re all supposed to be assessing our own risks. It occurred to me that this is a truly right wing message.

Assessing your own risk is tricky when it's a virus others can give to you, so what can you do if you need to use public transport for example...

On that note BBC London news was reporting only 48% of adults in London have had their 1st vaccination. That's much lower than elsewhere in the country. Could partly be due to the population in London being younger and not eligible yet, and partly vaccine-hesitancy. That doesn't reassure me about going anywhere at all, as most people I come across are likely to not been vaccinated yet. I only had my 1st last week as soon as booking opened for my age group.

I read somewhere that sewage testing was hurrying things along in Bedford jan.

I don’t think 48% is right see attached by Richard (@rp131) on Twitter Possibly they meant 48% of entire population

London is notably behind other regions tho

Ps bbc have got this stuff wrong several times before

And we’re all supposed to be assessing our own risks. It occurred to me that this is a truly right wing message.

It was Prof J V-T who (reportedly) said that, in response to a question about whether people in Bolton and other hotspots should avoid meeting up.

"I would advise residents in those areas to think very carefully about the freedoms they have, weigh up the risks and be very cautious," he says.

He says "take it steady, don't tear the pants out of it" but we can't live for years and years with rules.

"People have to learn to manage the risks for themselves," he adds.

Just read this thread about children, from Prof Christina Pagel threadreaderapp.com/thread/1395071723645644813.html
What do people think is going on with the cases in under 14s?

This seems to be the new take up data BBC London was quoting too to get the 47% figure. twitter.com/Pouriaaa/status/1394728751460716550?s=19

(Sorry about the Twitter link, struggling to find the source link on my phone)

For anyone who is interested and had their first vaccine in early Jan, you can apply for a booster trial of third doses.

"People have to learn to manage the risks for themselves," he adds

I lose more and more respect every time these people speak.

Surely as a health professional, he should be well aware of the research on such things, it's published in proper journals and everything ( "unrealistic optimism" probably a good search choice to get started I'm sure) people are way too optimistic of their own risks, it's why they don't exercise, smoke, over eat etc. things with much higher personal risk that covid, yet they still do them.

@colouringpencils they say

Surge testing will def explain some, but not why school age relatively so much higher than other age groups compared to prev peaks

But completely ignore that the under 20's are the only group with no-one vaccinated in it, every other group would have some vaccination, and if vaccination damps infection (as all the evidence says it does) then the others are going to be higher.

Failing to address that obvious point makes them look rather biased to an agenda in my mind.

Yes, good points in both those posts sirfred! I suppose I took the lack of mention of vaccination of children as just being because it’s a “given”. But you’re right.

@sirfredfredgeorge but they don't ignore that under 20s are unvaccinated - they are saying 5-14s are much higher than other age groups, including other age groups that haven't been vaccinated?

All other age groups than under 20's have been vaccinated though to some extent. The numbers in the 20-40's aren't as high as the numbers in the 60's+ but there's some of them enough to dampen it a bit, and they are the most at risk of having covid (medical staff etc.) The WFH 25 year old with no kids is at very low risk compared to kids mixing in schools.

Says a bit further down his twitter feed that they're going to publish an age demographic soon too. May shed light on the comparatively poor vaccine uptake in London.

ffs everyone!

The NHS publish the take up by 5 year age bands every single week

Down to MSOA level for first doses. LTLA level for second doses.

Latest release started with the 40-44s; 16-39s still remain one broad band.

And as super helpful people they also publish population figures down to MOSA level for both NIMS and the last ONS mid year estimate (2019 estimate published June 2020) for each age band.

all the information is there, for anyone who can be troubled to look.

Hmm that’s an interesting discrepancy compared with the chart I posted above. But the government were quite clear today that 70% nationally have now been offered a first jab. The numbers in that chart look out of date to me.

I do think there seems to be no real plan for how we stop outbreaks in schools. It's clear that kids are passing it to one another, so how's that going to end? All the modelling of modest exit waves focuses on hospitalisations, but the number of cases may be huge, and a large proportion of them in children. There will be a few get very sick, and if it keeps circulating until herd immunity is reached within each school community that's a hell of a lot of 10 day isolations for kids every time a contact catches it. Doesn't seem the government has much of a plan for this - they seem to just be hoping that it'll die out in schools once the adults are vaccinated, and I can't really understand why that would happen. I guess the summer holidays may help a bit, but it won't have gone away by the autumn.

Indeed, @Firefliess
