I’d be interested to know how university students are being treated in the vaccine stats. There was a whole load of confusion around which borough students’ test results were being allocated to last autumn. Manchester has a large student population in term times but most will have finished by now and gone back to their home towns. So is there a risk that they are being included in Manchester’s population for the purpose of calculating the median age, but when they are vaccinated they are included in their hometown’s statistics?

BigWoollyJumpers · 30/05/2021 11:26

An awful lot of young workers are returning to London now too. In the last month DD, as well as her entire friendship group have moved back in to London. She is only now in the process of moving her GP records again, to ensure she is captured for vaccination, I assume many of her friends will be doing the same, or, conversely, DD has been in and out of both Uni and London over the last five years, but was always registered at home.

ThereIsAGreenHillFarAway · 30/05/2021 12:26

I guess like a lot of areas there are localised discrepancies with vaccine rates. London average is 51% first doses with 29% second doses but ranges from 77% first/43% second for Bromley down to 38% first/17% second in Tower Hamlets.

Quite a few of the London Boroughs whose rates rocketed with the Kent Variant have lower than average vaccine rates. If the Indian Variant takes hold like it has in Bolton then fingers crossed they have some sort of immunity from the Kent Variant exposure.

They'll be counted against whether their GP though is, regardless of where they are when they get their jab. So for most students that will be their university address as students are strongly encouraged to register with GPs when they start uni. ONS population estimates are based on student term time residence, so generally speaking they will be included in the population where their vaccine will be counted even if ONS population estimates are used. The other population denominator used is the GP registration data which by definition has students includes wherever they're registered with GPs (though has other issues in terms of including people who have emigrated)

I think as we get into the younger age groups, there could be more discrepancies with London uptakes. About 10-20% of the people I work with, have chosen to spend all/part of this year at their family homes outside the U.K. rather than stay in house shares etc. in London. They’re in their 20s/30s, temporarily WFH, so aren’t in a rush back for an earlier vaccination, and will likely choose to stay for a European summer than rush back to London (unless their work mandates return to office). Whilst this also probably happens in other cities with large non-U.K. originated workers that can work from home, I think the numbers are going to tilt it potentially a lot in London. These are people that are keen for vaccination, but don’t see it as urgent enough to return (quarantine), vaccinate, go back with all the requisite tests.
Needanewhat · 30/05/2021 15:19

I had to get the tube in London today for work. It was rammed. Standing room only and all squashed in together - just like old times really.

I think numbers in London are going to swiftly start rising over the next few weeks.

On a non-data related note, does anyone on here follow the science twitter drama? Deepti Gurdasani and Christina Pagel up against Francois Balloux and a few others.

NicknamesAreLikeKleenex · 30/05/2021 15:27

I’ve noticed that the Tube is really filling up as well. Not judging - I’m one of those bodies filling it up. And walking down residential streets I can hear a lot of parties happening. All perfectly legal and I’m not one normally one of those people who sees superspreading events whenever there’s the slightest hint of people having fun, but I think the next month is going to test the efficacy of the vaccines pretty hard.

Needanewhat · 30/05/2021 15:30

Yeah, I really don't think it's my place to be judging people who are after all only doing what they've been told they're allowed to do.

It'll be the fault of the government if hospitalisations and deaths increase exponentially. Their messaging has been beyond confusing and tbh at this point people are desperate to believe it is over. They don't want to hear that it isn't.

JanFebAnyMonth · 30/05/2021 17:03

Just reading this update on variants, interesting to read what measures are being taken:

www.gov.uk/government/news/confirmed-cases-of-covid-19-variants-identified-in-uk?fbclid=IwAR3RYuatrEldoBHkuE1nWtHwy2g7DRFdL1QojfC3xjs9fScQ6acMEZkqWIE

These figures jumped out at me:
In Bolton, the army working with RE:SILIENT visited over 4,000 houses, delivering over 1,500 test kits. This was in addition to the national surge team efforts, which saw over 9,000 properties visited and over 3,000 kits given out.

So that means that well over 2/3 of the households visited (by both teams) refused test kits. (Presuming most houses have more than one adult resident.) I don’t think all of them just happened to have taken a PCR test in the preceding 24 hours. This points to a major comms failure, surely? In an area where national/local govt really needs to get it right.

And what is RE:SILIENT ?

Many people already take them due to school testing, or work testing, or student testing. Our household would turn doen the test because WE ARE ALREADY TESTING.

Please don't assume the worst. The government want you to blame your fellow citizens. It is really not the fault of ordinary people.

JanFebAnyMonth · 30/05/2021 17:24

Am not blaming anyone apart from the government!

But “regular testing” = LFTs. The surge testing is PCRs. I presume the army etc personnel are explaining that the more accurate and, crucially, sequencable, PCR is what is needed in that area at that point. But people are refusing.

colouringcrayons · 30/05/2021 17:26

But do you not think quite a few people were simply out? Why assume they all refused. I will believe that if I see some official data saying they refused but until then I am sticking with my view that the vast majority of people do the right thing.

JanFebAnyMonth · 30/05/2021 17:34

OK yes some could have been out, I was thinking “visited” meant “engaged with”, ie the door was opened, but you’re right, it probably just means “knocked at the door/rang the bell”.

JanFebAnyMonth · 30/05/2021 17:36

Although I would have hoped that they posted test kits through letterboxes if no one answered. Or is it illegal to deliver a medical test kit to someone who hasn’t consented?

TruelyStruttingHotpants · 30/05/2021 17:42

I suppose you would risk a naughty dog or toddler eating it.

Both my dog and toddler would be in there like a shot🤦‍♀️

JanFebAnyMonth · 30/05/2021 17:49

Hadn’t thought of that, only have teens who rarely leave their rooms!

Yes it would require consent.
colouringcrayons · 30/05/2021 18:18

I think it SHOULD anyway!

I’m not sure, they deliver the kits for bowel cancer screening without consent (you have to actively opt out) once your over a certain age but I’m pretty sure that’s just a stool sample pot and the LFT’s include liquid so I’m not sure if that changes things.
TruelyStruttingHotpants · 30/05/2021 19:27

I think with the bowel cancer ones and the covid tests you can get posted you now they are coming. They have been ordered or agreed by you already. So obviously the onus is on you to make sure they don't fall into the wrong hands or jaws when they arrive.

Cornettoninja · 30/05/2021 19:30

Actually, thinking on it, I had an unsolicited test posted out as part of the national surveillance programme during last summer but it wasn’t an LFT one, it was a PCR postal one so no liquids. There was no compulsion to do it but I did.

boys3 · 30/05/2021 21:07

Limited fall in the number and percentage of MSOAs (England) with a suppressed case number (eg between 0 and 2).

5181 (of 6791) or 76% with a suppressed number in the week to 25th May; a drop from the 80% last week, but still ahead of the last week of April.

In the latest week 75% of cases in total were in those 25% of MSOAs where cases were not suppressed. As compared with 67% in the final week of April.

Some significant regional variation.

In the most recent week over 90% of cases in the North West came from the 42% of MSOAs with three of more cases. In the prior week in the North West 86% of cases overall (so not significantly less) but these came from 30% of MSOAs.

They removed it from the phone because it broke sometimes. Which in my experience was only at busy times and I was happily putting up with it. Annoying, but I understand they don't want error messages to explain.
