Covid cases in Israel are falling sharply after mass booster vaccine rollout while hospital admissions continue to trend downwards - but UK's jab watchdog is still not convinced everyone needs a third dose

I start to feel numb with the rise and fall on number of cases

If did not read wrongly, think they did not close back even though they hit 5 figures a day.

3-4 days is not a downtrend. It's a blip.

Seychelles is a downtrend.

Annnnd… They decide to stop reporting unlinked case numbers on a high.

The experience of someone who took the first VTL SIA flight to munich this week.

If we are supposed treat covid as endemic, we should be truly living in a post-covid era like what germany is doing, instead of all these talk of lock downs again by LW.

Surprisingly, only about 60% of the german population is fully vaccinated, and yet life has resumed for them with manageable ICU numbers.

I agree with you. They should focus on the seriously ill, and never mind the mild and asymptomatic cases. I think there is a disagreement behind the scenes - some want to go with the science, but some are still hanging on to the hope that total cases can be kept low. That horse has bolted.

And MOH should get someone else to work on their infographic! The latest version of the the infections by vaccination status and how many seriously ill is really poorly done - they all look mostly green. If they want to make the point that vaccination makes a difference, they need to present the figures better. (see Figure 3). It's not so bad on the website, but it really doesn't work when reproduced in the newspaper.

The 3 green bars are :slapshead:

Agree with slmkhoo about the infographics. Wonder why CDC's stats are so convincing but ours invariably triggers more puzzlement (and facepalms) than answers!


Take the now purged damning Fig 10 for instance which I shared some pages before. As of 7 Sep, the last day they would reveal the FV/PV and UV being infected, you can see that the infection rate gap between the 2 are closing! Wait, FV/PV's surpassed the UV group now! :faint:

https://i.imgur.com/Zhq2aOt.png\">

I've combined PV+FV because I assume the protection rate conferred on youth is pretty high after 1 mere dose, so that gives us 38+3= 41

41 / 313,000 * 100 = 0.013%

3 / 31,000 * 100 = 0.009%

No wonder they must hide this Fig 10 last night!

I'm not looking at the seniors subgroups because I imagine the nAbs for youth should be still high since they've just jabbed recently, in contrast to seniors who took theirs in late Feb-Apr so their nAbs would have waned greatly by now.

So, by right the FV/PV youth infection rate should not be higher than the UV youth, because 1) they just took the shots in Jun-Aug; 2) majority took D1D2 within 6 weeks not 3 weeks interval.
