Both Pfizer and AZ appear to give reduced protection from the Delta variant formally known as the Indian variant than from the Alpha variant formally known as the Kent variant after the first dose.

Covid-19: Single vaccine dose is 33% effective against variant from India, data show
The UK government has been urged to speed up giving two doses of the covid-19 vaccine after data showed a single dose was only 33% effective against the B.1.617.2 variant first detected in India, which continues to see a rapid growth in cases in the UK. A preprint paper released by Public...

Just seeing the fans in the streets in Portugal. Drunk chanting arms around each other. Really no surprise they passed the virus around, unbelievable they were made to go Portugal, still just the normal bank holiday behaviours I witnessed last weekend in Blighty.

6K + U.K. cases, that growth rate in not good. 50% under or just in less then a week.
The UK one of the the highest vaccinated country in Europe, now has the highest case rate in Europe. We need a profile of the breakdown of cases to vaccinations.
Cases mean nothing unless people start going to hospital from it.
Its not lineaer though, we know that, it could be a number of weeks before someone might need to go to hospital. But your right in a sense, we all have our eyes peeled on the hospitilation and other figures in the U.K. in the coming weeks, the vaccination profile is important to.
Some encouraging info on that a couple of pages back ~75% cases are in unvaccinated and less than 5% in fully vaccinated.
Still have some hope that surge testing might be distorting things a bit on top of some general increase in cases from the most recent relaxation in rules but really hope that track starts to turn back down in the next few days.
Going to be watching this as well to see if relationship holds. 5% obviously much better than earlier in year but if cases do rise a lot that 5% could be difficult for NHS to balance dealing with non Covid operation backlog.
I saw that, what I’m particularly interested in is dose 1 impact - thats the biggest risk presently. Youd expect 5% in fully vaccinated and high percentage in non, so we’re talking 20% after dose 1.
Again, we’re in a bit of transition with Delta.
I really don’t like that rate of growth, 50% week on week.
Some of this will be the lack of oxygen and the healthcare system being overwhelmed but still utterly heartbreaking
Its actually fascinating to look at the evolution from wild to the advent of Delta comparatively and it’s impact.
This time last year the U.K. were recording just over 1k daily cases - with no vaccines, quite incredible isn’t it.

Indeed. The U.K. tests more people than anyone else in Europe, by a long way. Deaths are about 10 per day at the moment.....
