Singapore reports worst daily Covid case tally in more than a year | Singapore | The Guardian

Having announced a roadmap to reopening in July and vaccinating 80% of its WHOLE population (91% of 12 years and over), reopening plans pausing on a Covid surge theguardian.com/world/2021/sep…
As of Tuesday, a total of 809 people were in hospital. Of these, 75 were seriously ill and required oxygen, and nine were in intensive care. The majority of seriously ill patients were older than 66

Of the 114 patients requiring oxygen, 56 were fully vaccinated and 58 unvaxxed
Given the very high proportion of vaccinated people that, again demonstrates that the risks are far higher in the unvaccinated population than vaccinated, but, in the latter group , the risks are not negligible.

Similarly ICU cases were split 5 in the unvaxxed , 3 vaxxed
The 4 dead were unvaxxed.

So the more serious the case the more adverse outcomes are borne substantially by the unvaxxed.

Remember Singapore’s population is about 5.7 mill of which just over 4 million are non resident, many living in dormitory accommodation.
About 500k still unvaxxed.

Even that is enough to put its reopening plans on hold, with several outbreaks occurring in nursing homes ( leading to the start of the over 60s booster programme on Tuesday).
H/t @k8tshires for reminding me that Singapore has EXCLUDED those vaccinated with Sinovac from their vaccination tally given poor efficacy. At the start of the programme there had been a rush of Sinovac vaccinations until Singapore switched solely to Pfizer and Moderna
Still. The vaccination programme is bearing fruit given the systematic testing and contact tracing carried out.

Now just 2% of cases are resulting in more severe outcomes, with about 98% of cases being asymptomatic or relatively mild symptoms.

But Covid is proving to be wiley

Is there a Conservative ‘blue wall’? - Prof Curtice

Both Labour & Lib Dems advanced most strongly in those seats where Remain had been well ahead, while both parties recorded their weakest performances in constituencies that had strong Leave majorities onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ne…
In constituencies where over 60% voted Remain support for the Tories was 5 points lower in 2019 than it had been 4 years before, whereas in seats where the Leave vote was over 60%, support for the Tories was up 16 points in 2019

But just 20 Remain seats are held by the Tories
In fact since the 2019 election now more than half (11) of the most pro remain Tory seats are already in opposition hands - 6 Labour, 5 Lib Dems

But Tories held 66 Pro Remain seats in the 2019 election

Of two thirds of them can be captured that would lose the Tories their hold

This is the reverse of good journalism & is not in keeping with @BBCNews charter

“To act in the public interest, serving all audiences with impartial, high-quality and distinctive media content and services that inform, educate and entertain”

It is actively serving to deceive
This is the @BBC Charter

Where is @Ofcom in all of this. The person who has expertise in buying fish wholesale says it is Brexit that has caused a nearly five fold inflation in costs of a container of the same types of fish.

BBC edits it out

That Peston article about more vaccinated people in the over 40s getting Covid than unvaccinated?

He did have reason for saying it from the PHE report but the problem was he failed to explain why the percentages were likely unwittingly misleading
theconversation.com/covid-19-why-i…
There have been several threads on it that I will attach to the end of this one, but I think it is easier for some to read a short article that fills in the gaps. This one by @VictimOfMaths is a good one.
I think there is another factor that should be taken into account.

How many in the unvaccinated group were previously (tested + ) infected and therefore likely to have some decent immunity.

A serving MP. @marcusfysh with zero PH experience or understanding undermining a PH vaccine programme.

What will @BorisJohnson do about it?

Yes. The Johnson who holds crammed cabinet meetings without a mask in sight undermining public health messaging
And the same @BorisJohnson who appointed a SoS who announced it (and not wearing masks in a crowded House of Commons) was OK because they are not strangers…undermining public health messaging.

Meanwhile bodies are STILL piling high in their thousands as @BorisJohnson directed.
They are all quite deliberately undermining good public health messaging and are RESPONSIBLE for the rising death toll.

222 (60 day) deaths yesterday.

Hundreds of cases of Covid have got into schools in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Just 2 education authorities responded and that accounted for 200 cases.

The Welsh Gov said data showing that while 92% of school staff have had both Covid jabs that leaves more than 2,300 had none walesonline.co.uk/news/education…
Some Education Authorities seem to bury their heads in the sand

Eg..Conwy said: "Conwy Education Service is not collecting this data. Schools will be dealing directly with the TTP Service".
Or Pembrokeshire Council said: "We don't hold this data. Covid is being managed by schools like any other illness." A spokesperson added: "This is being managed by the Test, Trace and Protect service."

You’d think they’d want to know.

Busy washing hands.
