This is the article [MENTION=27239]atomised[/MENTION] mentions. Really shows the hard work these people are putting in to getting the vaccine into peoples arms. Well done to all the medical staff and volunteers around the country who are making this happen.

Everyone, or just the over 80s?

Another 18 down on yesterday. Total patients at BSUH with COVID now 170.
Was another 100 on top of that at its peak.

Some potentially very good news about monoclonal antibody treatment.

Triple whammy. All really great to read, thanks for posting.
A Doctor from Maccabi has also made the very good point that a lot of this early data is based on the very old, and very vulnerable - as they were the first to be vaccinated.
So if data is this good on people where the vaccines are least likely to work, it bodes very well.
The really key thing for me here is the '0 serious cases' bit - this is the ticket back to normality. People may still get symptoms, but will be protected against getting seriously ill, hospitalised (so no NHS crisis) and death. The fact that it's also the most vulnerable that have avoided becoming seriously ill is fantastic. Bodes very well for the remainder of the population.

this is absolutly most important. we're not going to get to 0 cases, what really matters is serious cases are near zero. then it'll just be like any other disease.

A different kind of pasty
Just got a message from my 74 year old techno-useless sister-in-law. "Got my letter to book vacations exciting"
I'm assuming she meant vaccination

Indeed.
I think if anything - with the amount of money and focus on it at the moment - it will continue to be with us but likely to become less deadly than flu. The work on antibody treatments continues to be really impressive.

Well it ultimately means booking vacations so two birds ha
Patients admitted to hospital rolling 7 day number drops again - now down 11%. The nu,ber being admitted looks to be falling steadily on the graph now (in line, with a lag, with the positive cases)
Positive tests 28k, now down 29.4% on prior 7 day period (that's 83k fewer in a week)
282k first dose vaccinations reported for yesterday, and at 7.447m we're therefore roughly half way through the 15m in identified most vulnerable groups
