Of these people who ended up in hospital, 0.65% were unvaxxed, 22% had one dose and 3% had the two full doses. But of the total number of Delta cases, the number of fully vaccinated people who ended up in hospital is 3 out of 12,383, so 0.024%.



While we're on the topic, I've taken the gov.uk data for cases & admissions for this year, and compared then with each other on a weekly basis. It's a bit artificial as I think that a case on Monday =/= a hospitalisation on the same day, at least not necessarily, but I think it paints a picture. The hospitalisation data runs up until the end of May. Here is the view:

Unless I made errors you see a nice downward slope; the ratio in the last week is 3.7%; that's almost a third of what it used to be in winter, proof I think of the efficacy of vaccines. And the more we get fully vaccinated the better it's going to be methinks.

Over 1,000 cases reported in Scotland today for the first time since February.

It's both vaccination and natural immunity.

If we won't unlock at this point, we probably never will.

Hi,

Not good news . Also the euro 2020 fan zones will not be required to have covid tests for attending unlike England

Also the Scottish govt blocked a domestic only cruise from docking at gourock this morning.

I cannot believe the fan zones are going ahead in this way, given the heavy restrictions Glasgow specifically has been under for so long. Feels yet again like football has been given another pass, after Rangers fans broke every single restriction and trashed the city consequence-free in March and again in May.

We all have things we would like to celebrate, but the rest of us have done so responsibly. I don't imagine someone who has had to cancel a wedding, graduation or attend a Zoom funeral feels particularly happy about the special privileges being continuously extended to football.

(note: this is not to rag on football. for every irresponsible fan there are five responsible ones)

I am not sure why but my 22 year old just got a text and 5 minutes later was booked for Pfizer dose 1 at the Waitrose Sports and Social club in Bracknell for this Sunday. Woo Hoo!!!

We will sort out second dose at home in August or in September in St. Andrews.
