Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Differences between how many go to get tested or who have previous exposure (and therefore some immunity) might also be factors perhaps?

Still interesting and is different from what being seeing in the US where from the data I’ve seen all categories (cases, hospitalization and deaths) are per capita higher in unvaccinated.

Also there is this qualifier ** Interpretation of the case rates in vaccinated and unvaccinated population is particularly susceptible to changes in denominators and should be interpreted with extra caution.

Yeah I saw that qualifier too which is why I would be interested in more detailed information behind this data. I understand why that isn't included though as this sort of report isn't meant for that.

It's been a good while since I've had to do any proper statistical analysis (and even then it wasn't even vaguely high level) but there isn't enough info here to really come to proper conclusions as to what is really going on. Interesting thing to look at though.

Did a bit more digging and found this by the FT covid data guru

I knew you would come through with the data LL. Probably should have gone to him first myself as he has been brilliant through this all trying to explain it.

Great info lads, kinda threw me off a bit tbh

49% of people at my work are un vaccinated. I guess years of living under communist dictatorships and being forced to do things is hard to erase

What planet is your work based on mate?

Earth mate.

I was shocked when I found out, but out off 700 people nearly half aren't vaccinated.

Hobest question, why is the rate of vaccinated people in the 40s double the rate of unvaccinated? And I don't mean just cases, I mean per capita. More people per 100k vaxed are getting it. This is NHS figures for the last three weeks, I might be stupid here but is there any reasoning behind this?

I like this post because someone admits they don't know what the figures mean, and actually asks for help interpreting them, rather than just seeing some numbers and jumping to conclusions based on what they want them to mean.

Wouldn't like to be the person in charge of that lab. That's quite the blunder...

Everyone is allowed to make mistakes ffs. Cancel culture etc

 

[arminisgod]

Is that 2 labs now this week who have bolloxed up results?

 

[spectateur]

Another "may have been".
Why can't they wait for the whole story.
How many and to what degree of accuracy.

That's absolutely insane isn't it!

Idiotic and stupid.
