COVID-19 was not taking out vast numbers of young and healthy people like H1N1 influenza did in 1918, so what we have experienced is nothing particularly drastic as pandemics go and we now have vaccines available that are pretty much ending it as a serious health problem. Please try to get your hysteria under control 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a factor when going abroad for me. Seen some interesting games in Tenerife, Pisa, Agadir, and Faro, among others - none of which Mrs WRK saw coming at time of booking. We've had the usual overt trips to Barcelona, Milan, Leeds and the like as well.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that's the impact of the vaccine fully kicking in on transmission, or just the impact that being in lockdown for this period of time is having. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if it was the latter then we wouldn't have seen a plateau? If nothing has changed in terms of restrictions, then the only variable is the vaccination programme I'd have though. I know it's not quite as simple as that, but if anything people are following restrictions less as this goes on (anecdotal evidence only, mind) so the vaccine must be having a big effect. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old chinese preverb say - "A pound spent in Croydon is of far more value to the country than a pound spent in Strathclyde," Sorry, my mistake, thats not a chinese proverb it's only our dickhead of a Prime Minister saying it a few years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're probably seeing the effect of the ramp up in vaccinations in mid/late January. The age profiles are important as well. I'd imagine that folk in their 60s and 70s being more active than folk in their 80s and 90s means vaccinating them will lead to bigger drops in transmission. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
