I can't see the numbers anywhere?

weddingdramagreat · 13/11/2021 16:27

@Piggywaspushed 38,351 cases and 157 deaths.

Hospital figures haven't been updated

Piggywaspushed · 13/11/2021 16:29

Thank you.

cantkeepawayforever · 13/11/2021 17:28

@weddingdramagreat

Very depressing. Was hoping they'd drop for a while longer
How does the shape of the curves (cases, hospitalisations, deaths) around the half term period compare with the same period last year?

My memory says that was a short-term dip (a few weeks wide, due to differences in half term dates and the short-term effect of reduced contacts) and then a steady rise.

I am expecting the same this year - to clarify, the same shape, not the same numbers.

weddingdramagreat · 13/11/2021 17:31

@cantkeepawayforever we went into the Nov lockdown pretty much immediately afterwards so not sure it would be a useful comparison.

Good news is there is 1k less people in hospital then there was a week or so ago

MarshaBradyo · 13/11/2021 17:36

Hospitalisation was steep this time last year

It’s the increase in that that’s key

Boosters are an important part to a different winter to last time

cantkeepawayforever · 13/11/2021 17:37

Schools didn’t lock down, and as the half term dip is a ‘school related’ effect, I suspect that the rise at the end of half term is likely to be similar and similarly school related.

One thing to note about the shape of the curve last year, the fast increase in November was almost certainly related to Alpha and its associated transmission advantage over the previous trajectories where the same mitigations no longer worked as effectively.

We shouldn't read too much into the past shapes then.

MarshaBradyo · 13/11/2021 18:11

True Fred

Also that chart is useful and shows the impact of vaccines. Tg we have them

mrshoho · 13/11/2021 18:19

yes we really do have the vaccines to be thankful for. Just got to keep on top of the boosters though and keep on with 12-15s. It's a race though as cases are going to keep on increasing throughout Winter.

JanglyBeads · 13/11/2021 19:52

That’s interesting, cases were more in adults therefore half term last year didn’t have much of an effect compared to this year.

Anecdata but - everywhere I went over half term I saw large mixed-age family groups including people my age (60s), most likely grandparents. I was quite struck by this at the airport and assumed boosters would have increased confidence among the over-50s. Grandparents are often the first port of call for grandchild care at half term, I know I am.

www.newstatesman.com/health-science/2021/10/how-long-does-the-covid-vaccine-last-and-is-natural-immunity-better

In the UK we went heavily with AZ vaccine. I've read quite a few articles now that state data is showing that by 30 weeks the protection reduces so that there is no difference from someone who had no vaccination! As we are offering boosters to all over 50s that should catch the majority but shouldn't we now urgently offer boosters to all who had the az vaccine? I would like to see an official government response giving clear information as there is an attitude that having had 2 AZ vaccines will still give longer lasting protection.

JanglyBeads · 14/11/2021 11:01

What articles mrshoho? I read something last night saying 45% protection three months after AZ, iirc? Which isn’t fantastic, but certainly isn’t nothing.

Need to define if it’s protection from symptomatic COVID or from serious illness though, I think what I was reading was the former but I confess I’m not sure.

BigWoollyJumpers · 14/11/2021 11:08

The data is for "symptomatic infection". AZ (and Pfizer) is still in the 90/95% protection against hospitalisation and death, which I would suggest, is the most important criteria for the majority of people.

mrshoho · 14/11/2021 11:10

It touches on it in the link above although infers through modelling but I've also read elsewhere and will try and find. I realise that actual data can only be collated as the time-lapse from vaccination date is reached but it is concerning that this is a possibility. I wonder if there is data on those double vaccinated in hospital as to what vaccine they received?

mrshoho · 14/11/2021 11:48

'There’s good news and bad news. Vaccines’ efficacy did seem to decline – whether that was due to the appearance of the Delta variant or for other reasons. A double-vaxxed person, who had 92 per cent protection against severe Covid no matter which vaccine they received, saw that protection decrease steadily in approximately the first ten weeks (nearly two-and-a-half months) after the second dose. The good news is that the mRNA vaccines – Pfizer and Moderna – only declined slightly, and seemed to stabilise after that point: they levelled out at about 90 per cent efficacy against severe disease after 20 weeks. Alas, in this study at least, the AstraZeneca vaccine kept reducing in its efficacy: by 20 weeks, its protection against severe disease was as low as 60 per cent.

What about the longer term? Does AstraZeneca just wane and wane to absolute zero? Or does its efficacy drop for a while and then level out like the mRNA vaccines? The authors did some extrapolation: they produced models of what their data predicted would happen in future. This is educated guesswork, but nevertheless: one of their models implied AstraZeneca would keep declining to the point that, by 30 weeks (almost seven months), people who got it would have essentially no difference in risk from someone who hadn’t been vaccinated at all. This seems unlikely to be true, but the fact that the data even points in this direction should make us concerned about the AstraZeneca shot in the long term.'

From the above article. This study was in relation to severe covid resulting in hospitalisation. The data showed at 20 weeks az had declined to 60%. Modelling then looked forward to 30 weeks taking it down to 0 protection. It does say this is unlikely but we will only see I guess once we have passed this length of time.

EvilRingahBitch · 14/11/2021 11:49

This BBC article goes through the waning of protection in the different vaccines.

Could this potentially mean that everyone with AZ would need to start again with a full course of MRNA rather than just a booster?
kittykarate · 14/11/2021 15:31

The current booster program basically leaves AZ jabbed 40-50 year olds like me hanging doesn't it?

mrshoho · 14/11/2021 15:36

It's a wait and see approach we are taking. The elderly and vulnerable will have been offered a booster along with nhs and social care staff, but that must leave plenty of others with 2 AZ vaccines having possibly very little protection over the coming months. I can't remember what the cutoff age for az vaccine was.
