Loving the reductions.

They should make the number of tests clearer. This week they're testing well over 1m a day which is much more than last week. The fact there are still less positives despite the increase in tests is great. I believe we tested somewhere between 400-500,000 more today than the same day last week.
 


I never read the comments, as every day it’s immature “Open the fishing lakes”, “Open the liquorice museum” and all other various twaddle. So glad I no longer use Twitter.

Still, good comedown in numbers today.

Could be anything really and I'm speculating here, but my first thoughts were, either the slip through of efficacy - we know the vaccines aren't 100% or could be slip through of the limited protection a one dose gives you or and hopefully not signal of double dose failure with a 12 week interval - unlikely as they would be changing tack now if that was the case.

I'm totally speculating about all that.

But like that's the thing that caught my eye, weird that he said it, with no clarity.

I thought it was eye catching and I felt like it was the first time we were being softened up for a message that the vaccines dont provide - at the least - that safety net that you cant fall though toward hospitalisation and death. It was a reakl joly of a message and I cant understand why it's been ignored.

If I remember correctly, we've done 1.5 million & 1.38 million tests and we've had PCR of under 0.5% on both of them, whereas before it was around 1.5-2.0% right, with about half the tests done right?

My take on the comment was that when ever restrictions are eased, folk who had been jabbed in the previous 3 weeks might not be up to a decent level of protection, some will have little response to any jab, and some just wont have had one yet.

Well, he mentioned specifically the people who hadn't taken up the jab as being in danger, but I think we're speculating here about what he meant by 'those who the vaccine didn't take to'.

That was a real shocker which he should have explained. I think any functioning Parliamentary Committee should have jumped on that and asked for clarification.

I thought it was pretty clear, and pretty obvious. Its been the line ever since the vax programme started. As in, its a way out, but by no means a silver bullet. Its why, when you get a jab, you are told when booking the appointment to keep to the rules post jab. I assume the nurses will repeat that instruction at the time as well.

Well, my re-reading of it is this: it doesn';t refer to any gap between 1st and 2nd jab; it refers to the possibility that - the older people are - for some, their immune systems just dont respond as they do for the younger (and when I say younger I dont mean 'young' young).
