Sorry for asking again but I didn't see any answer to this. Can anyone help?

Every patient is tested on admission and every three days thereafter.
Repeat positives are not counted as new cases.

That's a very interesting point.

But wrong. Overall positive rate last summer was about 0.3%.

In fact anyone with a positive test who has tested positive within the last 12 weeks is not counted unless they have symptoms and I think within 6 months they are not counted without either having symptoms or an epidemiological link

What negativity?

What's changed since last night apart from the EU commission writing to government. Nothing much else really

We were told yesterday we have a plan for getting out of this and having a good summer

This hotel quarantine thing is a ****ing embarrassment.
Over a year after this thing starts, we finally decide to get our **** togther and come up with this dogs dinner of a plan.
The vaccine rollout is not near as efficient as it could be through bad planning and incompetence.
I know there are challenges with the supply but every country is facing that, and if you look at the data we are continuing to fall down the per capita vaccinated numbers because we still haven't got the logistics sorted.
We're now 21st in Europe, early on we were 4th or 5th.

The all adults vaccinated by end of June is a complete fallacy as well, and always was going to be based on their capacity to vaccinate. They are saying 6 weeks to do all the over 60s which brings us to the end of May.
How the **** were you ever going to do every other age group 6 weeks after that?
We all know its going to take time but stop coming up with daft estimates based on tea leave reading said with confidence just because the date is "far away" so you think it'll be grand. Hope is not a strategy as someone once said.

I know we dont expect much from our Governments and public service but while these are not easy things to do, they have almost unlimited resources and have had time to get this right and they keep ****ing it up.

To be fair I thought it was 80%?


'The government has said it's still committed to its target of giving at least 80% of adults their first Covid-19 jab by June.
It comes after news the EU is set to receive 50m extra Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines this quarter on top of 200m doses already earmarked for the bloc.'

"Offered" is now the word. We could never have got to 80% fully vaccinated even with AZ behaving.

100% of people offered a vaccine by the end of June!

Don't forget arguing with strangers where you wouldn't bring up anything you say with real people!

I'd say we will or near enough. Remember we just got a 500,000 extra Pfizer allocated.

No, that's what a blog is for. Rant too much here and people will just ignore you but is is cathartic!

wonder is that the backlog cleared given some under reporting over the last days vs positive swabs

is_that_so

46,684 - 68 and 69-year-olds have registered for vaccination bookings so far, clearly not put off by it being AZ.

Over half of counties below 100/100k 14 day average and 2/3 below the countries 14 day average. Still going the right way, just a few stubbornly high figures from the usual counties.
