🦠🦠🦠 20,634 new cases and that is despite a huge deployment of LFT that return lower positives

⚰️⚰️⚰️ 915 (28 day cut off deaths)

⚰️💔⚰️ 127,643 COVID deaths total - deaths by date of death so an undercount with notifications still arriving 2-3 weeks later.
There’s been 20 consecutive days with over 1k deaths, (28 day cut off death count, by date of death)

10 days with over 1,200 deaths and one day with 1335 deaths - 19th January which may be the peak of this wave.

There may be more 1k days when lagging notifications arrive.
⚰️💔. In 20 days in January Between 9/1/21 and 28/1/21 22,001 people lost their lives -

22k Captain Toms in somebody’s lives.
Hospital admissions and in patients whilst still very high are falling steadily

🏥 admissions at 2,375
🛌 In patients 31,670
VENTILATION 🛌 3625

How much is lockdown effect and how much is vaccine effect?

I was hoping to see some analysis by now.
2,334,258 Lateral Flow tests were carried out in the last 7 days, yet there is no breakdown on the dashboard of how many negatives, positives and unclears.

The positives are now just mixed up with all the PCR positives that are reducing in number.
So how much is positivity falling due to LFT (which has a higher false negatives rate than PCR) and how much of it is real we cannot say because we are no longer comparing apples with apples?

A dogs dinner.
VACCINATIONS 💉

10,992,444 doses have been administered to 10,490,487 people

501,957 of those people have received two doses.

We really should be seeing published data by now of how many post vaccination positives allowing for 14-18 days for antibodies to build up.
How many post vaccination hospitalisations & deaths?

There are bound to be some from people who caught Covid just before vaccination or soon after - especially if people have got vaccination happy and grew careless.

They should be small in number if vaccinations working
Here is @LawrenceGilder daily summary.

Notably the ENGLAND ONLY 60 day death data (positive test and Covid on the death certificate increases the daily deaths from 915 to 1035.

These will show up in the ONS data in the next couple of weeks (notification lag).

Eton sir sacked accuses masters of putting its 'soul' at risk

This teacher didn’t want any of this woke feminist rubbish taught at Eton
Oh no

Former pupil & Tory peer Lord Bellingham, warned a dining club of 45 alumni were incensed by the sacking.
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9…
“Radical feminist orthodoxy” being taught there according to this father of five who apparently has his own You Tube channel.

What’s the betting he’s a mate of Lawrence Fox?

“Craven response to a cancel culture”

“APPEASEMENT”. Image
Will Knowland. Anyone heard of him?

All those lying women making false rape claims who maybe should make sure there was an independent witness and video recordings of the rape to provide independent corroboration before they were raped. Image

In JULY SAGE scientists gave a stark warning about the risk of relaxing restrictions “Christmas could result in explosive outbreaks across the country....., at a time when almost all social interactions take place indoors.”

They all knew. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
“The scenario accurately predicted the flattening of infections during September - and the huge spike in November - when the seven day average reached almost 25,000 cases.
The scenario agreed, it said, "reflects a difficult autumn followed by a large winter peak..."
Less than a month later, the government launched a campaign to encourage the public to return to working in their offices.

On September 1, Boris Johnson boasted: "People are going back to the office in huge numbers up and down the country — and quite right, too.”

Forty cross-party MPs and peers have urged the University of Huddersfield to close a master’s course it runs at the Royal Academy of Policing in Bahrain, after allegations that political dissidents were being tortured in the same building.

theguardian.com/education/2021…
“Huddersfield will not say how much it is being paid for the course, which was inaugurated by Prince Andrew in April 2018 when he was the university’s chancellor. It says the course is in line with UK government policy and will bring about improvements in Bahrain.”
“However, the Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy campaign group (Bird) has collected testimonies from 13 individuals arrested for political activism, who say officers abused them during interrogations in the academy where the Huddersfield course is based.”

🦠🦠19,114 new cases, but - due to the huge use of LFT now I find it hard to know where we really are.

But deaths and hospitalisations are falling.

⚰️💔⚰️💔128,376 COVID deaths (by date of death) - an undercount due to notification lag. ImageImageImageImage

I’m having a spectacularly bad day, in a spectacularly bad year, part of a spectacularly bad three year run.

I feel as if the tiniest push and my whole internal flood defences will burst.
Look what @bmay played for me. His own composition

So you can all listen.
And @other_mrs left these in my doorstep.

I am so touched.

Thank you! Image

Up to 100 UK children a week hospitalised with rare post-Covid disease

12-15 a day since early January.

Evelina hospital records showed that 60% of the 107 cases of PIMS they had treated up until 13 January were black African or Caribbean children.
theguardian.com/world/2021/feb…
Israel has also reported a larger number than in the first wave and wondering if this has an association with the prevalence of the B1.1.7 U.K. variant.

Or is it just that Israel & the U.K. let the virus run out of control?

Material when it comes to unlocking the lockdown
📌78% had no underlying health condition.

📌 67% were boys

📌 Average age 11

📌Range 8-14 years.

📌 22% tested positive for Covid when the PIMS materialised. (It is mostly a post Covid syndrome)

📌 Almost 1 in 4 developed PICU a coronary heart condition. Image
