Im not a doomer, but these figures are starting to concern me a little.
If that rise in figures starts to translate into hospital admissions and deaths, that`s the time to worry.
Stuff I`m reading, is saying that the younger people aren`t getting it too bad and most of the ones in hosy, are people who could`ve / should`ve been vaccinated.

Not good really. This Indian variant seems to be a real stinker. If you go onto the UK map that's where nearly all these increases seem to be coming from. Our vaccines seem to be almost as effective against it so hopefully we won't see it spread much outside the areas already heavily infected.
Feel for the people living in those areas though. The vaccinations can't come soon enough for me. If I was under 30 and living in Bolton I'd take the AZ tomorrow if I could.
Yeah, the vaccines really are the silver bullet we all hoped, so far.
We just need jabs jabs jabs.

Also remember that they have been surge testing in the most effected areas with the army going around house to house. So they're bound to be picking up more cases. which is a good thing because they can then self isolate (hopefully)
Yeah the maps really flag up the problem areas

I am prepared to bet 50p that there is a very strong correlation between vaxed/non vaxed admissions. As in, circa 80 to 90% will be unvaxed.
Fully vaxed looks good. The tricky area is 1 dose - seems mounting evidence that, whilst it still provides some protection, for the tougher variants the second dose is very helpful

I would love to know, not just in Bolton but in all the area's that the Indian virus has taken hold, just how many of those infected and those hospitalised have been offered the vaccine and not taken it.
Am I correct in saying that you cannot have the vaccine if you are currently suffering from covid.? It was a question we were asked before getting our second jab.
You defo cant have the jab if you have the rona.
Also my wife went to get a vaccine and was refused due to medication she was taking for an ear infection, so there are lots of reasons why people havent had the vaccine.

I know mate, but there is a halfway house that might keep the restrictions at bay and give you most of the freedoms back. People have given up where I am with mask wearing especially if they are old and been vaccinated - The I'm alright Jack crew.
Like I say let's hope the vaccines work to keep the numbers out of the hospitals to keep us out of any lockdowns. But if they don't they can only blame themselves.
Tricky decision if you are undergoing cancer treatment as cancer puts you at higher risk of bad outcomes yet vaccines likely to be less effective anyway.
COVID-19 Vaccines and People with Cancer
This page answers questions about COVID-19 vaccines and cancer and how the vaccines may affect cancer treatment.
The data are a little less clear for patients who are getting aggressive chemotherapy, but for those who are receiving more intensive treatment regimens—for example, those starting initial therapy for leukemia—we recommend that they delay vaccination until their cell counts recover.
Those are the two main groups where I think there is agreement that they should delay COVID-19 vaccination, at least initially
