Hi all...

I'm a bit confused about the AZ vaccine effectiveness and the Indian variant.

I thought I saw research that said it was only 30% effective after one dose and 60% after two doses.

But what does 'effective' mean? That you don't catch it at all?

If so, do we know how effective it is in terms of preventing hospital levels of illness and/or long covid?

When hospitals have less Covid patients, they have an easier criteria for admission.

Thats what I'm wondering. If a hospital has lots of space are they more likely to err on the side of caution and admit some who really not that ill for observation?

although a five day lag in the data here's the England age distribution of cases showing each region and the overall level.

Heavily skewed in the main by the 10-19 age bands; and more widely by the North West, or parts of it. (Liverpool looked to have low rates yesterday, although must confess to not having looked today).

Same data in the first two tables but one colour heat map by each individual region, and the second heat map overall (so NW is the only deep red in the latter)

Final one is the regional difference as compared to the England rate for each band. A negative number indicating the regional rate is lower than the England rate.

All emphasise the low rates - across all regions - for the older age groups.

I’d like to know this too. If what you’ve posted is correct it’s definitely a point for vaccines because we know that there isn’t 100% neutralisation of the virus but we can improve our outcomes if less people require hospital support.

@Bordois

What actually constitutes an admission into hospital? Is someone turning up because they have breathing difficulties but are sent home after overnight observation shows they aren't in any danger classed as an admission?

Yesterday would be an admission.

Yes not yesterday. My dad had 4 admissions like that last autumn.

A quick question , one of the main statistics they look at is the R rate , but if because of vaccination the virus is spreading but hospital admissions and serious illness are low surely there is a time where this should not be the main criteria for ceasing lockdown ?

Absolutely @Unsure33.

Please could someone point me to a graph showing variants emerging/decreasing over time by local authority? I'm sure I've seen one but can't find it! Trying to find out whether the new variant is dominant where I am ta

Is this what you're looking for?

Absolutely not. It is the reverse - the issue is when very full they have to not admit people who ideally they would. Or they sit outside in the ambulance for ages.

We just have to look at the data, not try to minimise, not try to sensationalise.

Today's data is what it is, and it isn't the right direction, as cases, hospitalisatiosn and deaths are all up.

This week's sorry

This map shows by local authority.

@lonelyplanet thank you, but not quite. There was one with colours top to bottom going up and down as diff variants took over being dominant over time. One was bright pink. That's all I can remember! Ideally by local authority. Thank you

@lonelyplanet like this one, but for authority!

@enterparentone

that's a Sanger graph.

Fourth link in the OP should take you direct to England; then where it says National Overview at the top simply click for a full list of LAs.

@boys3 YES! Thank you!! That must be what I did before. You ⭐️

Another stupid question . If people under 40 were not so likely to be affected before ( so milder symptoms) and most of the older generation have been vaccinated why are cases going up ? The virus is not going to suddenly pick in the younger generation because the older people are vaccinated ?

Or is it because the people affected enough to be in hospital are in the older age bracket but have decided not to vaccinate ?

Or because we are not in lockdown a small percentage of the younger generation have been affected by the virus .?

Or the new variants affect younger people more that the original variants ?

The reason there is worry about a wave involving younger people is because what kept them from being hospitalised in large numbers was lockdown. If you don't have lockdown it'll spread, and a small percentage of unvaccinated younger people will get ill.

A small percentage of a big number could be enough to overwhelm the NHS.

They seemed to be counting people that are checked into A&E. Even if you don't get kept overnight they will make you sign a discharge sheet before leaving. So like all A&E visitors. You will have various degrees of sickness. Some people may just be worried but not so sick (The patient in hospital figures suggests this). Others will be in seriously in need of help.

Admission definition for England:
"England data include people admitted to hospital who tested positive for COVID-19 in the 14 days prior to admission, and those who tested positive in hospital after admission. Inpatients diagnosed with COVID-19 after admission are reported as being admitted on the day prior to their diagnosis. Admissions to all NHS acute hospitals and mental health and learning disability trusts, as well as independent service providers commissioned by the NHS are included."
I don't think it does include A&E attendance unless someone is admitted for treatment e.g. oxygen, which is when they are classified as emergency admission. I don't know for sure, but I do know the process is usually different to formally admit you into hospital than just to see you in A&E.

When my dad was admitted to an observation ward for 10-24 hours after falls/with an infection they were recorded as admissions. Sometimes he was in at breakfast time and out around tea time.

Yes they have the A&E triage. Sorry I meant that patients that get past the nurse observations and doctor. Then some will be sent home with medication/referral/advice. Whereas some will move on to have treatment, scans or tests whilst still not put on ward. The second group is who I believe they are counting. I know if you are in the second group around here you will get given a admissions wristband and paperwork.

Yes, that makes sense

Cristina Pagel interviewed (2 mins) on Sky yesterday saying bluntly why we are not meeting the fourth Test and therefore should definitely not proceed to Step Four:
