I wonder if those polled were slightly biased towards those willing to be vaccinated.
Or that some people said that they're willing to be vaccinated but actually aren't or at least not yet.
The Polish number looks rather at odds with the number actually vaccinated.0 -
Will this be the life of a smartphone user in early 2022, during the hectic race for herd immunity against the koppa (ϙ) and digamma (ϝ) variants?
1) At any given moment you have a real-time Personal Infection Risk Score (PIRS) calculated from data on who you have been near (your "proxims"); how near; whether you or they are vaccinated or not, and if so, how many boosters you and they have had, and when; how much time you have spent in crowded spaces ("socspaces") recently; etc.
All vaccinated people to start with scores no higher than 10, maybe to rise to a maximum of 25 if they test positive for koppa or digamma. Unvaccinated people ("unvees") to start on at least 100. (The absence of scores between 26 and 99 inclusive was agreed following a Nudge Unit report on the need for "safe blue water", because "you can't be half-vaxed".)
2) For the unvees, shopping malls will become "hostile environments" or "hosments": doors won't open for those with PIRSes of 200+. In supermarkets, 200-279s will be barred between 8am and 5pm and between 6pm and 11pm; 280-pluses between 9am and midnight. Detailed rules to do with numbers will be introduced anyway, because political types gotta have something to argue about. Checkout operators working between 5pm and 6pm will be "given the right" to wear full CBRN suits, after a powerful campaign by the Sun, Daily Mail, and Daily Express under the banner of "Protect our frontline heroes".
3) On the phone of a vaccinated person, warning messages like this will be liable to appear: "Unvee male, 1.4 metres directly ahead, infection risk score in 200-300 range. [Note: data will be imprecise so as to comply with data protection law.] Press red 'NHS' button on phone within 72 hours if you experience any of the following symptoms: headache, runny nose, cough, or a strange feeling that one of your unvee proxims today was iller than the NHS knows about. All information received in strict confidentiality."
If the red button is pressed, then the unvee's PIRS will change from x to (1.25x + 37), except if they are aged 18-23 and on their way to a nightclub, in which case it will change to (1.37x + 25).
This kind of thing is almost a dead cert. It's how many websites work already. Those familiar with Stanley Milgram's electroshock experiment, or the Stanford Prison Experiment, will recognise the principles. This is "social media flagging", squared.
4) Heard among certain less-than-woke police officers: "We've got some 300-pluses on the next block, and they don't look like they're going to work, har har."1 -
The live gig we saw at Southey working men's club was a full house too, and the smaller room with all the regulars busy too. Tramlines I'm guessing heaving too tbhMaxPB said:Also, update on London night life. It felt very familiar last night. Once the dance floor opened at 11 we danced until about 3am to various music from the 80s and 90s. The place was packed, absolutely great feeling. Not so much today, though.

France?williamglenn said:
But that’s all been in the last few weeks so is what is propping up their first dose numbers. They might end up plateauing at the same level as Germany.rcs1000 said:
It is, and that's why I prefer to use the "percent of adults" number, so as to compare like-with-like.williamglenn said:
France is doing well but their numbers are flattered by the number of 12-17 year olds they’re vaccinating. Their vaccination rate for older people is still lower than ours.Stuartinromford said:
People who know France better than I do were always pretty sanguine about that- they expected both the initial moaning and the acceptance of the jab when offered.kle4 said:Thank goodness the French hesistancy was not as the polling indicated.
Besides, the French vaccination ads are very persuasive;
https://www.thelocal.fr/20210708/france-expanding-its-sexy-advertising-campaign-for-covid-vaccines/
Worth noting, though, that France is only at about 30% of 12-17 year olds, so it probably only adds maybe two points to total "vaccinated as percent of the population".
They're ahead of Germany as far as percent of adults (72%) jabbed, and they're doing more first jabs of adults per day currently.
So, I think we can reasonably assume they're not going to plateau at German levels given they're currently ahead of them.

It can indeed easily turn into that. But as part of a balanced perspective, it certainly has its place (and the PE medic, IIRC, was making points about government policy as well, so not just shuffling off responsibility).EPG said:
I'm sure that matters, but as an emphasis, it sounds perilously close to a bad-flu type argument, blaming chubby kids and Playstation.Carnyx said:
That was a long time ago. I've found PE's coronavirus coverage vastly better - for instance in emphasising the wider problem of obesity, lack of execise etc (and the implications both for individuals and governments).EPG said:Thanks for calling out The Lancet and Private Eye, TSE: a reminder that their desire to provoke can outrun the truth. Maybe to be expected in a scandal rag, but less forgivable in a so-called medical journal.

It's going to take us 30-40 days to get there unless the government really ramps up the vaccine passport narrative and extends it to more everyday life places like cafés and restaurants. I actually think they should do both and get every single minister out and sell the policy of having a hard October 1st date for introducing them for restaurants, pubs, bars, cinemas, theatres, cafés, clubs, sporting venues of all sizes, gyms and anywhere else where people pay to congregate indoors. Make that 1st October date really public and shout it from the rooftops, shout at the 5m 18-39 year olds who haven't had it yet and get them to do it ASAP.
It's a really shitty way of doing it but we need a way to break the last 10% and get to 96-98% of adults. There's just too much inertia among the under 40s who will get it "one day" but won't define when "one day" actually is but they actually don't mind getting it done.
Anywhere that door staff or ticketing is another question. That could certainly from your list include cinemas, theatres, clubs, venues, gyms etc
I'm against Covid Passports in principle but I'm so fed up with antivaxxers that I think screw them for one winter. Lets bring this in, with a one winter sunset clause, and lockup antivaxxers not the nation.
@Gnud of this site referring to "antivaxx" as Hate Speech and holding up Andrew Wakefield as a positive example has really pissed me off: https://vf.politicalbetting.com/discussion/comment/3498387#Comment_3498387 - this is the kind of BS that sane people are having to deal with.
Make it so that any premise with door staff or ticketed entry requires them to check vaxport status, with a sunset clause for Spring 2021.
But it's certainly a memory of mine, that the AIDS campaign by Gmt was far better than this one, once the Gmt got off their rocky start about it being a self-inflicted gay disease. That is a reflection I've had periodically over the last year and a bit, so it's not just youyr comment (and shows your comment's brilliance).0 -

Local areas should be switched to OnS2020MaxPB said:
Just a word of caution, our local figures are based on NIMS data which overestimate population figures, especially in areas with younger and more transient populations. I really wish that the dashboard would move to ONS data rather than NIMS which they know is definitely wrong.Northern_Al said:I agree with the header. Down in Brighton, today's data show 53.4% fully vaccinated, with 72.5% partially vaccinated. These figures are absolutely awful, are creeping up only very slowly, and don't inspire confidence. It's partly down to a relatively younger population, but also down to a lot of anti-vaxxers - not so much the anti-lockdown types, but more the tree-hugging don't want to pollute my body with chemicals (except weed, of course) types. The local council has been doing its best to run a pro-vax campaign.
So despite the 'everybody is now vaxxed' rhetoric by some, there's a long way to go in some parts of the country. It's clear that a stronger combination of carrot and stick is needed if places like Brighton are going to get to 80% or more fully vaccinated.0 -

If President Trump had, as a man who had himself contracted Covid-19, been treated and been vaccinated, played the pandemic straight instead of pandering to conspiracy loons, he would probably still be President Trump. And he did throw money at the problem, as well as directing VP Pence to run with it. It really is very difficult to understand.rottenborough said:Southern Rep voters are not taking the vaccine because Trump lost the election?

My only police related fame to claim is that I got to be interviewed with my daughter in the same precinct as Cagney and Lacey was supposedly set with the NYPD (over a stolen mobile phone ) - all great as we got a NYPD car ride across Manhatten and even got a detective that was over the top "This dont make sense!)" and he even had a messy desk full of papers. I said to my annoyed wife that you could not pay as a tourist to get this experience so savour it (for the price of a mobile phone).
I should add that my daughter got a mobile phone pickpocketed not that we nicked one1 -

Well, it seems it isn't.
We have to wonder why, and we have to wonder why vaccine passports are being mandated here. Its almost like some people want everybody to be vaccinated so that these comparisons cannot be done.

I remember as a youngster on nights out, you’d get those girls coming round selling shots, or 5 minute back rubs and what not. Always dressed to the nines. Circulating table to table and group to group in busy bars.
They should get nurses to do something similar with covid vaccines. It’s amazing what a half cut lad will do for a pretty girl in a nice outfit. “Come on big brave lad like you scared of a needle?” Most of that lot haven’t had one yet because they can’t be faffed, not for any other reason. The peer pressure once one in the group has it guarantees the rest all do.
As for older religious groups? Perhaps some financial donations to community religious groups for each vaccine administered after the weekly service.
I don’t have good ideas on how to persuade the “my body is a temple” lot.1 -

@contrarian - I looked at deaths for Lousiana and seemed to have doubled in a month from around 6 a day to 11. Not much death, but the cases have only been rocketing for two or three weeks. Covid doesn't kill you in a couple of days.Malmesbury said:

It's progress of a sort, since that sounds like they have admitted he actually lost.!
All hail the vaccine!
Oh wait, double vaccination rates are under 40 per cent in these states....oh......ummm.....er....

Actually looking at the current districts you can sort of see it, as if someone neatly arranged them in alphabetical order and then someone else came and ruined their hard work.eek said:

This postcode talk is certainly a way of excluding outsiders from their discussion.
Suburbs I know but postcodes require wiki translation
The numeric order within a London postcode relates to alphabetical order of name of the subdistrict within the district so for example this is the City
EC1 Head district
EC2 Bishopsgate
EC3 Fenchurch Street
EC4 Fleet Street
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_postal_district
NW2 to 10 are seemingly in order but NW11 is Golders green,
Sw2 to SW10 are OK, but they restart for SW11 to 19, and SW20 I guess used to be Wimbledon West not West Wimbledon. SW11, 12 and 13 actually out of order, but they all start Ba- so close enough.
SE2 to SE18 works, SE19 is seemingly out of order, and then SE20 to 27 is OK, with SE28 again seemingly out of order
E at least looked in order until we created E20 out of order.0 -
There is a clear and statistically significant relationship between % of vaccinated and the growth in cases over the last couple of weeks, looking across the 50 US states plus DC. The relationship with deaths will I suspect be less pronounced than in earlier waves, because vaccine scepticism is more pronounced in younger age groups. But to the extent that states with a low % vaccinated also have older people and those in ill-health unvaccinated, you will see deaths picking up more there too.TheScreamingEagles said:

You ladies can bitch and moan all you like, but if there is not the carnage you yourselves predicted in the months ahead in these unvaccinated states, you have some pretty serious explaining to do, or another piece of the groupthink that passes for analysis on here bites the dust.
So far these states look pretty similar to what has happened here except for vastly more vaccination here.
Cases in Texas are not even rising that much, despite that state being completely open for months. How'd that happen girls?

Florida is recording more Covid-19 cases than any other U.S. state, as hospitalizations in some areas increase at the fastest rate since the start of the pandemic.
The state accounts for one in five new infections in the U.S. and logged 73,181 cases over the past week, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Florida had 341 cases per 100,000 people over the past week, second only to Louisiana. The weekly total of new cases reported by Florida jumped more than fourfold between July 1 and July 22, reaching its highest point since mid-January.
Deaths in Florida totaled 319 over the past week, the most among states, with a rate of 1.5 per 100,000 people, the fourth-highest, according to the CDC.
Epidemiologists say various factors are at play: large numbers of unvaccinated people, a relaxation of preventive measures like mask-wearing and social distancing, the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus and the congregation of people indoors during hot summer months.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/florida-leads-u-s-in-covid-19-cases-as-hospitalizations-surge-11627131600
and
By week’s end, Florida was accounting for almost a quarter of new infections nationally, with the US surgeon general, Vivek Murthy, warning of an “alarming” rise in deaths and hospitalizations.
