More than 100,000 people have died from coronavirus in the UK since the disease first appeared in the country almost a year ago, in what public health experts have said is a sign of “phenomenal failure of policy and practice”.
Government figures on Wednesday showed a record daily reported 1,564 new fatalities, bringing the total to 101,160.
Almost one in 660 people in the UK have died from Covid or Covid-related causes so far during the pandemic. The UK has one of the worst Covid mortality rates in the world, at 151 per 100,000 people, ahead of the US, Spain and Mexico, where there are 116, 113 and 108 deaths per 100,000 people respectively.

Are they going to make a story now every time there is a new variant? It happens all the time..

Says the murderer at a Parliamentary committee hearing, basically using any mutation (there are scores of them) to deflect away from HIS disastrous decisions that got us to the top of the failure table on Covid19.

Deflection, deflection, deflection.
Is the supposed super variant even a thing? The rises in areas with the variant are simular to areas without it? The rise in Liverpool for example recently was massive and the variant isn't common here.
London and kent should have been in tier 3 for the whole of December but the Torys wanted their donors to be open for business. Its barely got anything to do with variants.

Today I heard on NPR that Walmart is going to be the first company in the US that will be paying their workers to take the Covid vaccine. They will get paid for four hours. Hopefully more companies do the same to encourage vaccination among their employees.

Ilm not even sure the UK vatiant was ever globally agreed as being as infectious as claimed.
This is a pandemic. The kind of troughs and peaks you see now in those graphs are typical of all pandemics - murderous first wave followed by an even more murderous autumn/winter (if behaviour isn't drastically changed...which it wasn't in the west).

We'd have been far better off. I still stand by that if more areas had been in T3 - particularly London and the SE - we'd have been better off too. Look at the interactive map and how flat the cases are staying in West Yorkshire, which has been in T3 since late October.
Thing is mate, sometimes it's not people being selfish.
Like, I have to go into an office for 2 days a week because I don't have the software to work from home. It's a second job I've had to pick up because I lost a job last year. Yes the government have offered me no support and that's on them, but also I don't mind working. I go into an office and feel safe, as protocols are followed. It's also a 2-min drive from my house and, since this week, I'm the only person going in on the days I work.
I don't think I'm being selfish and I don't think my employers are either. Indeed they're doing me a massive help by letting me go in and not lose another job.
But I agree, if you can work from home - if there's no reason for you to go into an office - then you should be working from home.
Second shots of Covid vaccine could be delayed further in England
Some evidence suggests spacing vaccination doses improves effectivenesswww.theguardian.com
Utter joke.
Dave, read the first effing line
Second shots of coronavirus vaccine could be delayed even further amid growing evidence that spacing out the doses improves their effectiveness.
And then...
Evidence now suggests that spacing out doses of the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine may be more effective at protecting people. Clinical trials revealed the efficacy of the vaccine was substantially higher, at 90%, in a subgroup of people who received half a dose followed by a full dose, rather than two full doses, which had an efficacy of 62%.
But Prof Wei Shen Lim, the chair of the Covid-19 immunisation group of the JCVI, told MPs further analysis by AstraZeneca showed the improved protection came from spacing out the doses.
“People who had the half dose then full dose were those who were vaccinated at a longer time interval, roughly six to 12 weeks, and what they’ve seen in their data is that people who have the second dose later probably have a three times higher antibody level than those who were vaccinated earlier. So if anything, it suggests that increasing the dose interval is beneficial,” he said.
So basically backs up what the article I put in here a few days ago said, in response to a post from @NilSatisOptimum
Yes.
And people will panic.
And this cycle will continue and continue for years to come.
