My wife has just emailed with the latest figures from the BSUH Trust....
76 in hospital, 17 in ICU....down from a peak of 256 in ICU in Jan.
Transmission rates are just 10% of what they were at the peak of the 2nd wave.
146 new cases in the week up to week of Feb 24 (2,284 week of Jan 5)
More than HALF A MILLION people have had a vaccine in Sussex now...almost a 1/3 of the population in our fair county!

To confirm - is this the rate of people picking up Covid when already in hospital for something else?

Email says "transmission rates that have been recorded across Brighton & Hove". I took it as cases actually around town, not in hospital?
Ah ok. Well, very good news either way!

Again, I know it is derided on here but the predictor now has moved me from the end of April to :
Based on your profile, you are in priority Group 9. Given an uptake of 75%, there are between 4,685,774 and 6,785,774 people in front of you in the queue for a first dose of COVID vaccine across the UK.
Given a vaccination rate of 2,763,754 a week and an uptake of 75%, you should expect to receive your first dose of vaccine between 27/03/2021 and 06/04/2021.

It really seems the panic over the mutations is over kill, one of the gov vaccine advisors said they all work

Dr Chris Smith, JVT and others have calmly explained in recent weeks and months that new variants will be dealt with by UK scientists (COG-UK) and pharmas as a matter of course, very swiftly. Helped by genuinely world leading genomic surveillance, they’ve sequenced 100,000’s SARS-Co-2 genomes, before the real mutations have occured. Ahead of nature, so ready if and when mutations appear. Dr Chris Smith draws the analogy with annual flu vaccinations, something that will be around for good and under control.
Numbers update still delayed

That’s amazing. Letters/texts only just went out for 60-63’s nationwide and I know through family that Brighton was a bit behind other areas eg Eastbourne.
From Public Health England twitter account:
On Wednesday 03 March 2021, 6385 new cases and 315 deaths within 28 days of a positive test were reported across the UK.
A total of 20,703,615 people have now received the first dose of a #vaccine.
The #COVID19 Dashboard is delayed today
Numbers are in now :
Infections - 6,385, rolling 7 day down 31.6%
Deaths - 315, rolling 7 day down 33.8%
Admissions - 725, rolling 7 day down 27.9% (this an enormous 1-day drop so may be a quirky number)
Vaccinations- 224k first jabs and 51k second jabs (second jabs number the highest so far by a distance)
There are 12,849 patients in hospital - the rolling 7 day average isn’t immediately published, but this number was close to 40k in mid-January.

The panic reporting needs to stop if we are to move on

Stirrers will always try to make people sad. I never listen to or read their subjective, irrelevant noise.
The real scientists and this thread are the only places to get your real news.

I see China are ahead of the game and have introduced a new test if you arrive into the country.
Yes folks anal swabbing has arrived and I think that we should follow suit.
Imagine the looks on the faces of the queue at Gatwick as they all wait in line.
Its a yes from me.
