🦠🦠 6573 new cases
Markedly lower than at the end of Lockdown 2
4 times higher than before schools reopened in Sept

⚰️⚰️ 242 (28 day cut off) deaths

βš°οΈπŸ’”βš°οΈπŸ’” 145,271 COVID deaths by date of death

142,665 ONS/Stats authority to 19/2/21 from death cert
+ 2606 (20/2/21-3/3/21)
It makes me very happy to see πŸ₯ numbers drop

ADMISSIONS 757

πŸ›Œ IN patients 12,136. England is under 10k. It was the end of October those numbers were last seen. Still v high but falling.

Ventilator πŸ›Œ 1647. Similar to the end of December
A heavy burden still
VACCINATIONS

πŸ’‰347,406 doses given yesterday but a definite shift towards second doses with nearly 20% of all given yesterday being second doses.

πŸ’‰πŸ’‰ 21,946,433 doses given in total to 20,982,571 people.

πŸ’‰πŸ’‰πŸ’‰ Of those 963,862 people have received 2 doses.

πŸ‘πŸ˜‡πŸ‘
⚰️⚰️⚰️. 60 day deaths (+ve test & Covid on the death certificate) = 370

That is more than half as many again as 28 day deaths

Whilst deaths have been falling fast 2 month after lockdown started & 3 months into our vaccination programme, 60 day deaths are markedly >28 day deaths
These 60 day deaths will show up in the ONS/Stats authority data

Nearly 4 weeks of March left & we have exceeded by over 4K deaths SAGE’s Reasonable Worst Case July 2020 scenario of 85k deaths between 1/7/20 and 31/3/21.

Perfectly possible it will exceed it by c 10k by 31/3/21

I’m not going to carry on doing my daily COVID data summary every single day.

Just a couple of times a week.

But I will be checking them as I forsee, 8 weeks into lockdown deaths and hospitalisations will keep dropping at least for 4 weeks (baked in)

But will be watching cases
We are at the stage where cases and hospitalisations are falling due to lockdown and vaccination.

In the next 2-3 months we will be able to see vaccination effect distinct from vaccination ..but it will be cases we need to watch carefully for the next 2-3 months.
I shall still be doing the summaries, but maybe three times a week for a month or so as I did over the summer.

Inside the β€˜Covid Triangle’: a catastrophe years in the making | Financial Times

This is such a revealing article on so many fronts.
ft.com/content/0e6354…
It was only a matter of time before this pharmacist got Covid.

β€œA lot of minicab and Uber drivers came to see me. They showed classic symptoms of the virus, but they kept saying things like: β€˜Just give me something for the sore throat, cough syrup or something,’” he says. Image
β€œI told them time and again to get a Covid test, but they just did not want to get a test or go to the doctor because they knew they could not afford to isolate.”

He says his Primary Care contract meant he could not refuse to serve anyone, not even those refusing to wear a mask

Tax & spending experts say Sunak's budget doesn't add up

Paul Johnson, the director of the IFS, said the β€œspending plans in particular don’t look deliverable, at least not without considerable pain” predicting that the government would have to spend more theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/m…
β€œAre we really going to spend Β£16bn less on public services than we were planning pre-pandemic? Is the NHS really going to revert to its pre-Covid spending plans after April 2022?

Nothing budgeted for annual vaccination, Test & Trace or backlog catch up.

Preposterous
β€œIn reality, there will be pressures from all sorts of directions. The NHS is perhaps the most obvious. The chancellor’s medium-term spending plans simply look implausibly low.”

Eight bidders gain freeport approval in move to boost English regions | Financial Times

There had been 30 bidders and it seems Tyneside was one that has lost out.

The problem is that rather than generate a load of new jobs and trade they tend to move the pieces around the chessboard.

...and create a have for stolen goods and money laundering.

There may be some advantage for renewables that I have yet to grasp.
GE is thought to be interested in setting up a Dogger Bank 3.6 Gigawatt wind turbine farm 130km off the Yorkshire Coast. That would be one of the world’s largest wind farms providing clean energy for 4.5 million homes

Another Covid - Blood Group A Study

A research team at Brigham & Women's Hospital in the USA assessed how the blood groups A, B and O reacted to the protein and found blood type A to be the most reactive to a particular protein in the virus called RBD

mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/p…
I have not seen the study itself so cannot comment on the quality, but this is now 1 of 4 that at least notes a correlation between Blood Group A and more severe Covid.
H/T @Tim_Kelly for the link to the paper itself.
