"Very good news. Long may it continue." Looks pretty good news hospital admissions aren't going up and ICU admissions are only going up slowly. Sadly deaths are still going up but there is a time lag from infections so hopefully they will drop in the next few weeks. From the data it is children that are the majority catching covid at the moment and hopefully this won't spread in big numbers to the rest of the population. | |||

" Which is convenient (not saying not true) considering the “controversial” roll out to children. Is that majority disproportionately higher than it was previously? Ie are they the majority now BECAUSE so many adults are vaxed? | |||

Interesting reading. So about 100 0-24 year old hospitalised per million and deaths are so small you can't see them on the graph (maybe 3). Also interesting to note that infection rates in 12-25 years is lower than 35-50 and only just above 50-65. So much for this idea that it's been spread mainly by the young. | |||

I didn't say there's no need for vaccination, I simply was conveying the data. Evolutionary mutation forced by vaccination is a real possibility, the more you vaccinate the more pressure you put on it to mutate around it. Possibly a good reason to keep vaccination to those that really need it and not those that don't?. | |||

Yep...as confirmed by Scottish national clinical director in his letter to parents of schoolchildren last week "I want to reassure you that children and young people still have a very low risk of health harm from Covid-19, and those without symptoms (asymptomatic) are also at a relatively low risk of transmitting Covid-19 to adults." | |||

"For God’s sake even ONS change the metric making it impossible to do a direct comparison between infection age range and hospitalisation/death age range. Complete nuts!" Yeah you spotted that too... So for deaths the age groups are under 1, 1 to 14, 14 to 24 and the measure is a count of the number of deathts. For admissions...the age groups are 0 to 4, 5 to 14, 14 to 24 and the measure is an estimate of the rates per 100,000 (100,000 what who knows?) And for infections... The age groups are age 2 to school year 6, school year 7 to 11,school year 12 to 24. And the measure is an estimate of "modelling" a percentage of those testing positive. So 3 different age groups and 3 different measures. 2 of which are estimates. It would not be possible to make it more difficult if they tried. Deliberate? BTW, from inspection it would appear that the age group under 14s are more likely to be infected but they are the less likely age group to be admitted to hospital. | |||

That's the office for national statistics data, social media data is actually more like you claiming what the average age is by some random chance you've claimed to observe at a hospital. So again according to those ONS figures the average age of somebody attending hospital for covid is 67. | |||

"It is good and hopefully will go down more before the university kids migration spike" That is going to be the one that’s key as to whether we get a good outcome or not… They interesting figures to look at are going to be the Scottish figures as their universities go back first…. | |||

The age groups will be age 1 to year 13 and 19 to 29... Oh cynicism. Still.. Numbers down again today which can only be a positive. | |||

"My boss tried telling me he can't come to the UK whilst are infection rate was 5x more than his country. Seems he is being fed crap by his government as I found the EU statista total weekly test and infection data, and his country for week 36 was twice as bad as the UK. Seems the truth is being kept under the carpet with elections on Sunday, which I also pointed out, strange he never replied. " Do you have a link? I found Statista.com/statistics/1139048/cornavirus-case-rates-in-past-7-days-in-europe-by-country Per 100k UK 306 Germany (who I'm guessing you mean) 71 Only Montenegro and Servia come close to double us. | |||

Perhaps they are testing more now back at school? "More testing would explain a little of it but not all. The low infection of older people is good and of course a massively lower death rate for the very elderly is also. We need to watch if the spike in infection in the young feeds through to the older population like last September. I guess it wait and see and hope the vaccine is still strong enough in the elderly. | |||

"Testing more ... And using the old lemon juice to avoid school !!" Lemon juice doesn't work on Lab based tests like PCR which are the ones quoted.

From the data it is children that are the majority catching covid at the moment and hopefully this won't spread in big numbers to the rest of the population. It would be interesting to see how many of the admissions are under 16s https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19latestinsights/hospitals#hospital-admissions-by-age Gives the figures per 100000 for each age range here. Interesting reading. So about 100 0-24 year old hospitalised per million and deaths are so small you can't see them on the graph (maybe 3). Also interesting to note that infection rates in 12-25 years is lower than 35-50 and only just above 50-65. So much for this idea that it's been spread mainly by the young. “……… Also interesting to note that infection rates in 12-25 years is lower than 35-50 and only just above 50-65.

I use the traveling tabby site for covid stats it shows things in nice graphs. Going by today's figures. 10 to 19 infection rate per 100 thousand is highest about 145. Next highest is 0 to 9 at 48 then weirdly 40 to 49 is at 45 all the other age ranges are a lot lower. The older ranges in the low teens and even lower. I thing we can say it is mainly children catching covid at the moment. Which is not the case during the pandemic as a whole.
Yeah thanks for the recommendation.it's a very good and informative site. The youngsters are certainly much higher for infections. Though interestingly and oppositely, barely any are being admitted to hospitals and even lower deaths.. (1). Which is good news of course. Even if somewhat confusing.
Perhaps they are testing more now back at school?
More testing would explain a little of it but not all. The low infection of older people is good and of course a massively lower death rate for the very elderly is also. We need to watch if the spike in infection in the young feeds through to the older population like last September. I guess it wait and see and hope the vaccine is still strong enough in the elderly. "It may already well be, you'd have to examine the facts that people under 30 are being tested at a far higher rate than people over 65 due to schools and work tests, lots of these are asymptomatic cases where they wouldn't have known they had it if not for the test, this could well be the case in the over 65s(due to vaccine protection) only they take far fewer tests. | |||
