Comforting and confirmatory news for what most of us had suspected, that outside transmission is quite rare: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/explainers-55680305

Growing anger in Ireland at the news that more staff at private hospitals have been vaccinated than frontline staff at public ones. One of the main private hospital groups is being paid to vaccinate frontline staff, despite refusing to sign a contract to treat public Covid overflow patients. Minister Donnelly runs away as usual, refusing to answer questions in the Seanad.

1,295 deaths an increase of 260
41,346 cases a decrease of 18,591
This is a Saturday when recorded cases are generally lower in the UK.
It seems positive tests are falling but deaths are still over 1,000 a day. Almost nobody in the mainstream media or the Tory Party bats an eyelid or seems to care.

Deprived areas see lower take up rates. The low paid don't get tested. It's no wonder when at best you might get sick pay, at worst nothing and be without a job.
Another scandal.

671 deaths in the UK, up 108
38,598 cases down 16,342
The data makes it seem that the cases are falling but deaths are still on the increase. If we add 28 days to the peak number of positive cases we'll probably see the peak around there.
That's very crude maths and data analysis I know.

Originally posted by Janik View PostIt’s a reasonable first approximation. And both a depressing (i.e. deaths are heading up for a couple of weeks yet) and a hopeful one (tier 4 was working/lockdown is doing so, and the wave due to the new variant will pass reasonably soon).
Only 11 months and 100,000 deaths too late.

My instincts tell me that the US also had a massive wave in winter brought on by administrative ineptness, confusion, and terrible messaging. And it did so without the new variant. I think blaming the UK's wave on the new variant lets the British government off the hook.
