The curve is noticeably less steep this time around, that’s not much comfort if the peak gets as high though.jimbob wrote: ↑Fri Jun 18, 2021 8:18 amPatients in MV beds in the NW are rising quickly

Re: COVID-19
Update on my own infection - the symptoms in my face have mostly calmed down, with a bit of sinusitis still lurking. The infection has moved down to my chest, however, and since yesterday it's felt tighter and more difficult to breathe. Never quite felt anything like it tbh.

If breathing is difficult don't feel shy about calling the doctor. Lots of accounts over the past year of people who should have sought help earlier.
Re: COVID-19
Aye, and if you feel better in a week, don't then resume normal activity. Keep it slow and steady for another fortnight in case you're one of the many poor sods who gets a 2nd hit a fortnight or so laterWoodchopper wrote: ↑Fri Jun 18, 2021 11:59 amGood to hear form you.El Pollo Diablo wrote: ↑Fri Jun 18, 2021 11:50 amUpdate on my own infection - the symptoms in my face have mostly calmed down, with a bit of sinusitis still lurking.

Re: COVID-19
Well, there's a graph of those possible reinfections by date here on pg18 and they spiked in January when Kent, sorry, Alpha was circulating. So I wouldn't be surprised if we get another rash of reinfections with Delta.lpm wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 5:36 pmIt's got to imply that catching it once and then getting double-dose of the vaccine is pretty fab protection. Or alternatively getting double-dosed and then getting a mild case also leads to fab protection.
Plus the UK will have three waves: March to June 2020 = original strain, Oct 2020 to March 2021 = alpha, May 2021 to ? = delta. A very interesting piece of info would be if the current cases among the young & unvaccinated & previously infected with original/alpha are now seeing any reinfections with delta.
Interesting graph of reinfections by age and sex in there too. Higher rate in women, especially below 50.

UK’s longest suffering covid patient has died. Presumably he won’t make it into any official statistics the government releases because it’s way over even the 60 day mark.

Re: COVID-19
There are two statistics. One is within 30 days of a Covid test, the other so Covid mentioned on the birth certificate. He'll be in the second set.OffTheRock wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 10:09 amhttps://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-uks ... t-12336139

Re: COVID-19
The UK's second wave would have happened without Alpha. It wouldn't have grown so fast, but that would just have given Johnson more time to dither before acting.lpm wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 5:36 pmIt's got to imply that catching it once and then getting double-dose of the vaccine is pretty fab protection.

Re: COVID-19
That's an interesting question which I don't really know the answer to: Alpha quickly became the dominant variant, but does that mean those people otherwise wouldn't have got infected at all?jimbob wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 10:33 amThe UK's second wave would have happened without Alpha.

Ah, that's what I was missing. Can't do the image url 'cos it's a whole pdf, but maybe if I take a screenshot....
Brilliant, thanks jdc!
Re: COVID-19
Ok, so now I can do the images....
Here's the graph of possible reinfections rising - not unsurprisingly - with the Alpha/January wave (note the vertical scales are massively different, reinfections are really a tiny fraction of case):

And here's that breakdown of cases by region and age that shows rising cases in secondary age kids and people in their 20s:

Re: COVID-19
Risk of covid increases with age
In fact in high-prevalence areas your risk goes up immediately after your birthday .
Or the birthday of someone you live with.

Re: COVID-19
Hancock is today saying that "growth in case rates is slowing". It looks to me like it's continuing to rattle along at an increase of about 5% a day.

He clearly meant "growth in growth in case rates is slowing". Take enough derivatives and you'll probably find some good news.

James Annan's model seems to suggest this - for the past week or so his R estimate has been drifting down from approaching 1.4 to 1.31 now.

Each week looks kind of flat but then on Wednesday or Thursday you get a nasty surprise.

Re: COVID-19
Thanks to everyone who showed concern and advice, by the way. I'm feeling much better now, though did have some chest pain and breathing restriction on Sunday so went and got it checked out, with everything coming back fine. Still have some pain and sinusitis, but think I'm doing alright now. I'll still continue to take things easier until everything seems long past.
