I presume that the jab gives a degree of immunity (I think I read that transmission from double jabbed people was 50%). And if 5 million people have had it (and thus getting anti-bodies) in the UK it raises serious questions about herd immunity and the effectiveness of the vaccination. Do people who have had covid get jabbed? I think they must.
With rates of infection higher than last autumn it does make me ask “How good is the vaccine”? Children are counted in the infection rates, but have not been jabbed, so there is a distortion. Basically it seems that the statistics are pointing to the majority of cases being in the young (under 40 age brackets). This must mean that the odds on contracting the virus in this group is very high, This can be compounded by the geographical distribution – someone is 5 or 6 times more vulnerable if living in a city, being poor and from an ethnic community.
Due to test and track be a comedy act of financial proportions it seems that many people are turning off the Covid app to avoid being pinged and having to self isolate. But with 100000 a day it can be assumed (I presume that many will have symptoms and will be off work. Today we are being told that certain London Underground trains will not run due to isolation, and others will shut down early (well do UEFA for choosing to host the match at 8pm on a Sunday Night – dimwits!
On ‘Johnsons Get the virus free day’ many hospitality venues are not opening due to lack of staff. I am sure this will be compounded by the match tonight.
