Most people are booked in via text from GP so it oucld be v complicated as they might have to unbook and book again.

I think MG households might be part of it but also the high cases in 18/19 year olds?

Bedford PH wanted all 16+ vaccinated and were told no.

Another strange logic is no Pfizer so the 18+ year olds will have to be OK with that.

There is also the self identified carer group.

NuttyinNotts · 26/05/2021 20:38

How sure are you that Bedford still is all no Pfizer? Since they relaxed the storage requirements and the recommendations for under 40s changed, most venues are now offering Pfizer including some pharmacies and vaccine buses. I can believe it was a while ago, but it would be quite an outlier now.

wintertravel1980 · 26/05/2021 20:41

Bedford PH wanted all 16+ vaccinated and were told no.

This is very different from GM which was able to officially declare a number of boroughs as "high risk". This move would not have happened without the government approval and it allowed GM to "officially" roll out vaccines to 18s+ without looking for a "reason to vaccinate".

www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/over-18s-high-risk-neighbourhoods-20642427

The rates in Bedford are lower than in Bolton or Blackburn so I am guessing it might have been a conscious decision to prioritise North West. It is very frustrating though...

Piggywaspushed · 26/05/2021 20:41

Not hugely lower though...

Piggywaspushed · 26/05/2021 20:43

V sure nutty. Bedford MP rants about it daily on FB!

We have no pharmacies vaccinating or buses.

There are Pfizer places in Bedfordshire now , I believe but not in Bedford Borough.

NuttyinNotts · 26/05/2021 20:48

That's really poor!

So Bolton had the test and trace failure. Bedford has vaccine distribution issues. I wonder how many of our most affected areas have distinct issues with our pandemic response policies?

wintertravel1980 · 26/05/2021 20:50

So Bolton had the test and trace failure.

Bolton didn't. It was Blackburn.

boys3 · 26/05/2021 20:51

Looking at the other end of the spectrum:

Ryedale in North Yorkshire no cases since 12th May when it had just a single case, and 4 in total for May so far.

Eden in Cumbria zero cases for the last week.

MRex

”Oh, I just answered on the other thread. I find him an extremely credible liar, amongst the best (though he let himself down with the eyesight test malarkey). There will be truth in what he says, but separating it out from the version created to make himself look good and do damage to those who he felt crossed him will be tricky.”

You beat me to it!
He’s just as much of a lying truth twister as the rest of them.

But much smarter.

There’s no doubt plenty of specific truths in what he’s saying but when you sit back and examine the narrative he’s created, it’s interesting.

I think he’s got his money on Rishi for next PM.

It would be interesting to look back again, but I thought it was Rishi who brought in the “alternative view” scientists to convince Boris we shouldn’t lock down (Oct half term ish??)
Memory fading, so much has happened...

everythingthelighttouches · 26/05/2021 21:53

Apologies. I see you’ve moved on from a brief foray into non-data.

JanFebAnyMonth · 26/05/2021 21:55

It sort of comes under Analysis, I think!

Do you mean the Great Barrington declaration?

everythingthelighttouches · 26/05/2021 22:20

No, I don’t think so. Will check. There was a small group of scientists brought in to no. 10.

Reastie · 27/05/2021 07:04

‘ It would be interesting to look back again, but I thought it was Rishi who brought in the “alternative view” scientists to convince Boris we shouldn’t lock down (Oct half term ish??)

@MRex yes, that’s right. Plus, wasn’t Cummings the one widely regarded as pushing for herd immunity at the start and accepting openly within govt this would allow the vulnerable to die as part of that. Something isn’t adding up and I’m suspecting DC is getting in first with his spin before the govt try to pass the blame to him to squirm their way out of it.

JanFebAnyMonth · 27/05/2021 11:15

I had a search last night and read a few articles about Boris refusing to do the circuit breaker, couldn’t see any reference to alternative scientific views as such?

wintertravel1980 · 27/05/2021 11:34

People seem to forget that one of the UK nations (Wales) followed the "scientific advice" and went ahead with the "short and sharp" lockdown. It did not work. In fact, it was an utter fail. Cases went through the roof as soon as the restrictions had been lifted.

In retrospect, a "circuit breaker" was actually a bad idea. UK government (along with all the other European countries) tried to figure out the optimal combination of NPIs that would have still allowed to keep R under 1 over a prolonged period of time (i.e. months not weeks). The problem is they picked the wrong targets (e.g. the pub curfew) but again, we can see it now with the benefit of hindsight. On top of that, we had to deal with the new variant but we only learnt about its impact on transmissibility in November-December.

Saying now that the "circuit breaker" (as recommended by SAGE) would have prevented the winter wave is not exactly intellectually honest.

@wintertravel1980 as did NI albeit later on, to similar results, and devastation to hospitality and retail in peak November/December trading

wintertravel1980 · 27/05/2021 11:54

Ah, I have actually forgotten that NI did the same thing (but at the worst possible time!).

Wales did everything "by the book" earlier in Autumn. They acted on scientific advice. They made sure they were as "strict"/"sharp" as possible (by blocking "non-essential" rows in supermarkets). As we know now, it made zero difference.

lurker101 · 27/05/2021 12:09

Yes they really didn’t seem to work - I’ve just remembered NI also did one in October including extending Halloween holidays at schools. My family feel like they’ve been in restrictions all year - similar to Leicester residents I expect.

EducatingArti · 27/05/2021 13:00

Do you think it was a timing thing? That they might have worked better if done in September rather than October/November. Also, how much of it not working was due to the Kent variant being more infectious?

wintertravel1980 · 27/05/2021 14:41

Do you think it was a timing thing?

It is very hard to say one way or another but based on the Wales trend it looks like the "circuit breaker" did not stop people from socialising - it just deferred interactions. In other words, people who were planning family gatherings, birthday parties and drinks with friends still went ahead with some or most of these events - just slightly later.

The circuit breaker in September might have been more successful but I honestly doubt that. We just don't know.

HSHorror · 27/05/2021 14:44

Thing is they cant go over 1 and they do it anyway.
I think maybe pulsing certainly pubs. So maybe 1/2 weekends open.
With xmas shutting those 10d before xmas day would have saved some of that 8w off school.

How many younger people get vaxxed is going to make a huge difference

wintertravel1980 · 27/05/2021 14:46

On a more positive note:

  • Hancock has just said 1 in 10 people in hospitals had both doses of vaccine;
  • The percentage implies the vaccines are likely to be 95 to 98% protective against hospitalisations

twitter.com/JamesWard73/status/1397884961227689984

  • Previous model of the "exit wave" run by Warwick University assumed 90% protection. The 5-8% differential makes a big difference and is likely to significantly reduce the size of the wave.
