In the last 5 months of '21,
most of it overlapping with school term

more than
πŸ‘‰16% of 0-14 yrs were infected
πŸ‘‰ 20% of 15-19 were infected

15-19-year-olds are the highest infected group
1/3 This is before Omicron hit with full force. I cannot even imagine what will happen this term with the highly transmissible 🦠

We know πŸ’‰πŸ’‰πŸ’‰ are quite effective against severe disease
But our 5-11 has had no dose,
will go into classrooms without 😷 and ventilation.

🧡After some delay 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 case numbers for finer age-grp are out today. Even before start of school, they look shocking:

First,

test positivity is above 72% for all age 5-17

i.e. nearly 3 out of 4 tested are +ve

@Parents_Utd @LCKScotland @SafeEdForAll_UK @dgurdasani1 Image
Some may argue this is due to testing bias, but look at the sheer rate of infections even before start of term

Some are equivalent to the peak autumn infection levels

🧡Today both BBC and Skynews was bragging about the UK strategy of opening up early on 19th of July resulting in a relatively better situation than Germany, Netherlands and Austria - but at what cost?
Look at the cumulative death rate
@Parents_Utd @SafeEdForAll_UK @dgurdasani1
Since 19th July
UK had over 15,000 deaths,
whereas Germany had 7000 deaths
and Netherlands and Australia had around 1200 deaths each

Have we lost all sense of perspective!
