Hospital figures - 251 deaths were announced today, down 31 on yesterday and down 125 on last Wednesday. 204 deaths were in English hospitals, down 75 on yesterday and down 98 on last week. The 7 day rolling average falls to 263.71

All settings - for the 28 day cut off, 315 deaths were announced today, down 28 on yesterday and down 127 on last Wednesday. The 7 day rolling average falls to 266.29

For whatever reason there is no 60 day cut off data for today as yet, I will put that info with tomorrow’s figures once they are known
 
Current state of play of vaccines, including platform, dosing schedule, and efficacy in randomized trials and on new variants.

The most important thing there is the "Efficacy against death column" which seems to be 100% for all of them. Not sure why the bottom two say "no covid deaths" as opposed to 100%.

Out of interest what's this from? It mentions trials but which ones?
 
Seven day rolling average crashes to 7,173. I bet by the end of this week, we will be in the 6,000s.
Imagine the rates will go up with schools opening and more testing taking place (I know there's already a lot, but they're doing twice weekly testing so, there's surely going to be more)

Cases are not so much of a concern to the government according to the four tests, it’s deaths kept down and the NHS not being overwhelmed with hospital admissions of Covid, while the vaccine rollout continues to go well. Variants of concern is the other one, which sort of relates to cases, as the more copies it makes, the more the chances of a variant of concern, but it’s only been importations rather than home grown variants as of recent times since the Kent one got discovered.

Also, schoolchildren are more likely to play by the rules and self isolate when told. The vaccine is also proven to cut the spread which is a very important lifeline.

We need to recognise infections and plummeting and that there will be no dramatic reduction to summer 2020 levels of this infection and act accordingly to give the vaccines a chance to get on top of the situation.


Opening schools in these circumstances will lead to infections spiking again.

Opening up society and the economy has to be pushed back further than planned.

Top chart is infections, second is deaths.

With the caveat of less testing taking place, the summer levels last year were very flat.

The mean from mid-May to September for daily infections was well below 1,000.

June 21st, last year (probably a reasonable date to compare given June 21st is the aim for restrictions ending), there were 986 confirmed cases.

That's without a vaccine. Without even the working track and trace in place either.
