80% will not be enough
if the experience of Singapore is anything to go by, this is probably why Queensland is aiming to exceed an 80% vaccination rate before the virus gains traction in the state https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-...rmal/100450154

Life is more than Covid. Of course 80% is enough. |

Re: 80% will not be enough
Dr Leong said 80 per cent was "not good enough because it can still burden the hospital system very significantly and there will be too many excess deaths". "The numbers are mind-boggling, given what's possible over the next few weeks," he said. Prime Minister Scott Morrison set a vaccination target as part of his four-step opening plan for Australia, with phase C triggered when double vaccination reached 80 per cent. However, Australia's threshold is actually lower because it is based on the population aged over 16. Singapore's threshold is based on the total population. |

Re: 80% will not be enough
Even with 90 pct plus vaccinated, we are still going to get Covid mass outbreaks...... Here comes MU,.... Vaccine resistant and in 50 states in the USA and gaining traction in Europe.
The mutations will keep coming in, they will get more contagious and spread via imports if not via people. So either learn to live with it, or stay in lockdown forever. Covid is here to stay.

600? Or 256?
​​​​​There's 30,000 cases a day. Shows the effectiveness of the vaccine. 640 to be exact and 11,500 with single dose vaccine. Cant find any official stats on long Covid, most of those reports stop after 12 weeks. It is also looking like AZ is the most effective vaccine for the MU variant. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/british...8392bde0ca.jpg |

Surely that should be "when everyone who wants it has had both doses more than 21 days ago"?

Correct re the 30K a day, the other stat that keeps escaping the public is 70pct of deaths in the UK at least have been in the over 80 age group with pre existing conditions like Dementia, heart conditions and generally speaking people in the last stages of life and mostly in nursing homes.

458 right? According to that graph.
Thing is Beoz most of these victims are over 80 years old and have pre existing chronic conditions. How does this virus continuously strike the Nursing homes. Where is the focus on protecting the most vulnerable? . |
