Referring to his dead wife’s cancer and chemotherapy and the millions of people with compromised immunity @Peston rightly points out that the prime minister’s freedom day is day of sheer dread for far too many people.

Jackass Johnson and #CovidJavid have shown their true colours
Not just those WITH the compromised immune systems but their families who must look on with dread and outrage.

What about all those journalists who have been treated for cancer/stroke?

The families of the over 80s with poorly responding immune systems.

See @GuptaR_lab here
SURELY journalists such as @bbcnickrobinson @billtu @vicderbyshire will rise up as one and speak out on behalf of those who are being treated for cancer and other disorders that leave immune systems compromised - yet who do not have their platform or voice to speak for themselves
In the under 65s those in the MOST deprived decile were nearly 4 times as likely to die of Covid than those in the LEAST deprived.

This is not strength you are seeing from Johnson and #CovidJavid

It is weakness and a callous disregard for citizens

health.org.uk/publications/r… Image
Same with so many other disorders.

It’s not accidental that we have higher prevalence of comorbidities than many other developed countries.

This has plenty to do with the choices Governments make

Only Bulgaria outstrips us in these 7 European countries in excess deaths <65yo ImageImage
As for the economy

Do you REALLY think that most of us will be out spending and keeping offices and essential services open (largely populated by those in the younger high risk groups above)with 50k- the 100k cases a day that #CovidJavid casually mentioned in passing?

Really?
Legislation matters. Government messaging matters

The quality of the delivery of the support services such as TT&I matter.

The legislation that underpins the messages matters. Image
And a little reminder that 100k cases a day even with a case fatality rate if 0.2% is still 200 deaths a day.

It seems they think that is what “success” looks like

From March 2020 on CNN. Still the same Johnson.
Sage report published today but produced and tabled on 22nd April.

So the Government knows this.

UNQUALIFIED #CovidJavid might too were he less arrogant & gave himself time to read & digest the material instead of throwing open the doors to Covid a week after he is in post.
And so many of these from fully vaccinated people too.

Yet #CovidJavid announced yesterday that the Gov is lifting isolation requirements on the double vaccinated from 16th August.

🦠🦠🦠 32,548 new cases ⬆️ 42% on a rolling 7 day average

In fact, looking at cases by swab date we can see we already breached 30k cases in a day on Monday.

⚰️ 28 day deaths (33) ⬆️ 42.5% on a rolling 7 day average

Noticeable increases now.
🏥 headline figures understate the present reality due to data lag

The 386 admitted headline is below England admissions which were 416 on Monday
Likely another 60 on top looking at the other 3 nations 475.

🛏 IN hospital is likely close to 2.6k

Ventilator 🛌 likely 420
💉 vaccination about 239k doses. So it continues to decline over delivery a month or so ago.

Whether the issue is supply of Pfizer/ Moderna or uptake hesitancy or both I do not know, but unhelpful when we are seeing such reckless reopening planning by the Government.

🇮🇱 COVID infections spike by 50%
501 new coronavirus cases on Monday, ⬆️ 50% from Sunday
The figure is the highest since March 30, when 571 tested positive for the virus

Out of the new infections on Monday, 42% had been vaccinated against the virus haaretz.com/israel-news/co…
74 patients are hospitalized, 43% of whom were fully vaccinated. 5 were added on Monday, including 3 who were vaccinated.

Israel has fully vaccinated c55% of its population with another c10% single dosed

There is a big drive to vax teenagers now (16-19 already vaxxed) Image
33 patients in serious condition, a decline of 2 from the previous day. The figure includes 17 in critical condition, & 16 who are currently on ventilators (unclear about vax status)

Cases among children aged 0-11 has also quadrupled in the last week.

🦠🦠🦠 28,773 cases ⬆️ 49% on a rolling 7 day average.

It looks as if there is delay in processing tests again because, looking at cases by specimen date we already hit over 28k cases last Thursday.

Hope lab capacity has not been cut back too much esp as incidence rising. ImageImage
⚰️ 60 day deaths (44), 28 day deaths (37) ⬆️ 20% on a rolling 7 day avg, and ⬆️ 60% on same day last week. This will include a bit of a weekend catch up.

23rd April was the last time more than 36 (28-day) deaths reported.

Feels like we are allowing the advantages to slide away
🏥 4 nations data laggy so the headline figures are less than the current reality

406 Admissions

2140 in hospital (likely more than 2,400 given most recent data from each)

369 on ventilation (likely over 390) ImageImageImage

Starting a thread for the fully vaccinated who get infected.

We might have a small sense of how frequently it is occurring -currently when we still have restrictions, but cases rising rapidly.

Also because #CovidJavid has announced no isolation for the fully vaccinated contacts
Please add to this and circulate and promote so I can link into the main thread.

Thank you!

A reminder from @AdamJKucharski about why we need to distinguish between isolation (for the infected) and quarantine (for the contacts of infected not yet testing positive)

And why we should be cautious about exempting the vaccinated from quarantine.

See my tweet 2.
We already know that fully vaccinated people, whilst at reduced risk of infection, still get infected AND TRANSMIT.
For instance. We know that 🇮🇱 is seeing a resurgence of infection (& now hospitalisations).

This outbreak cluster of 75 students started with a chain of 1 fully vaccinated person returning from the U.K. being infected and infecting another fully vaccinated person.
