And what is the result of that very low (in this country) transmission?
If you go back to early January, the result of the "very low" transmission resulted in around 1 in 50 people in the country with an active covid infection, and in some boroughs the rate was as high as 1 in 15 people. The rate is far lower now of course, but that it also partially as a result of 50%+ of the population being vaccinated.
I honestly can't tell if that is sarcasm or not, I think my sarcasmometer is broken today, lol.

Just looking at the Bolton numbers has me worried that lockdown 3.0 is only a month or so away. Didn't take long for the Kent strain to ramp up the numbers did it?
It’ll be an interesting test up there if cases go up significantly whether deaths don’t rise and we can consider the vaccinations successful. It’ll be interesting to see what action is takenspikeyhead said:
meanwhile, coming back on topic
Today's jabs

Nearly half a million, the relentless progress is impressive.Today's jabs

If I heard the radio news correctly the national booking website opens up to 30-39 tomorrow which should keep the numbers rolling along nicely.

Nice idea but it won’t happen.
It is amazing that you seem to have no concerns vaccinating large numbers of children on a yearly (or more) basis.
Still as long as this thread can continue to be about the numbers, eh?
Is there any reason why you can't start a new thread rather than mess this one up?It is amazing that you seem to have no concerns vaccinating large numbers of children on a yearly (or more) basis.

Is it not important to question the numbers of different cohorts vaccinated and the effectiveness thereof?
Or do you wish the thread to be limited to pure numbers?
Why can't all this other stuff be posted on a different thread?

That is of course the key measure - how effective are the current vaccines against the Indian strain? If the answer to that is very effective then hopefully we won't be needing another lockdown. PeteinSQ said:

That's pretty much known already - it works just as it always has been likely to work against all the current known variants. There was a care home outbreak per PHE data in the guardian a few weeks ago, 15 infected per india variant, 2 hospitalised but not severe (iirc), none died. purplepenguin said:
My concerns would be that the covid vaccination in young children is unnecessary and untested (long term) - combined with the almost religious zeal with which some people are promoting it - scientists included.
You are against it because scientists are strongly in favour of it?I give up, people like you are just not worth interacting with.

what like I did earlier - "Primary purpose of any vaccine is to protect the person taking it.
Are you going to require children to take the vaccine as well?
reducing transmission to those that cannot have it? Do we do this currently for others that are immosuppressed? no of course not as its nonsense.
To require the majority to have a vaccine for something that wont affect them to maybe protect somebody they may never meet and is such small numbers to be insignificant but is a risk to the person taking it is nuts."
Not really because the implications are far wider than just the protection of the individual. Government has no option but to do everything possible to suppress the virus firstly because of the risks to public health and secondly to minimise economic damage.Are you going to require children to take the vaccine as well?

It may well be that almost all people under 40 are not at risk of dying (from the current known variants) BUT they are also the backbone of the workforce and having large swathes of them being sick and infectious is hardly sensible.
Its also well understood that the more virus there is the more likely it is to mutate into something that might become much more of a problem both for the under 40s and indeed those over 40 that have been vaxxed.
Finally, its also the case that the long term effects of having Covid are not yet fully understood, So personally, whether I was under 40 or not, I wouldn't want to get it in the first place.
Therefore, on balance, getting more people vaxxed is the best way to protect individuals, the wider community and the economy.
