A rundown of the latest numbers on Covid including autumn booster campaign, hospitalisations, deaths, variants, respiratory infections this autumn & the situation in some other countries.
Way beyond magnificently useful set of charts etc. [ as per ur usual excellent standard ].
Caution re the "Covid Deaths " graph. As testing for covid on entering hospital has virtually ceased, even the relatively low but steady level of "covid deaths" is WAY WAY understated, likely by 90%.
Utter caution should still be exercised at this time those eligible for booster- take it.
Those not elegible - demand ur MP asks govt to widen eligibility
Thanks so much Christina, very informative and much appreciated. Such a shame about the low take-up of the boosters, especially in health and social care workers. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for providing this concise summary. It has been increasingly difficult to find accurate and up to date information over the last few months as the Government wishes us to live with / ignore Covid. One of my major concerns is regarding the potential long term impact of repeated infections on children and those ineligible for vaccination. Is UKHSA looking at this? If not, who is?
Thanks for the update, the way 'CoV-2 is changing its spots, a multi variant wave is technically fascinating, a function of total infections & human genome, what in our genome is causing this adaptive acceleration, I know the question cant be answered but if we knew....
It's sad that the data shows a big failure in primary healthcare, you might say what is new, but that is the bottom line. Big chunks of the population are medically illiterate, not their fault, a failure in educational policy. A meaningful educational campaign?, LOL. Stack this with Gov wanting to forget 'CoV-2 and ensure everyone is earning 'tax' and buying things to drag us out of the debit hole, ignoring CO2 emission.
Sorry I know these comments do not help but they do define the broken nature of me society.
None of the above in any way reflects HCW, I saw the terror in eyes of Nurses during 2020.04, everyone gave their soul and more. Those who we trust to run our business, UK Ltd, fail, every time, do not follow the science. Maybe a solution offered by Douglas Adams has sway, the fomites have it.
As one of the Welsh uptake figure, for some reason we (the boss and I) despite her being in the very high risk group got invited to our boosters this week, so I'm guessing that the final invitations will be recieved around Xmas, not sure why it's taking so be long where I live, I know others living less than 30 minutes by bus or train away were done weeks ago.
Thanks so much, as ever, for such a helpful briefing, Christina. You’ve pitched it beautifully for a reader like me in terms of accessibility, level of detail and length. Really appreciated.
It’s absolutely beyond me to understand why people who can get the vaccine don’t take advantage of it. I know not everyone feels as poorly as I did, but why get anything that you could hopefully avoid?

Many thanks for taking the time and effort to do this. To have the information about what is going on is very much appreciated.

Thank you. Good news is always welcome. Please keep up the good work.
