Coronavirus outbreak

Yup goes both ways, I was worried when I saw how packed the stands were.

I know some of these events are test beds as well

They mostly weren’t in the stadium though according to link. For some to me at least unfathomable reason, thousands travelled to London to watch in a pub? Why not watch in Scotland

that seems a little dense but believable, I’m kinda not surprised anymore

Ireland may delay indoor dining for a further two weeks, due to an increase in the new variant.
Did they open/start too soon here?

No, because otherwise we would never open anything.

"DUBLIN, June 29 (Reuters) - Ireland said on Tuesday it will restrict indoor drinking and eating in bars and restaurants to those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or who have previously been infected by it due to concerns about the Delta variant."

How old were they? Health status?

How old were they? Health status?

Early 70's. Seemed in good health when I last saw him, before he started isolating.

And double vaccinated? How long between 2nd and getting Covid?
Immune system less good as age

My experience is I am not personally aware of anyone double jabbed who has got Covid. Although I think personal experiences are more or less irrelevant it is the averages we need to look at and clearly the chances of ending up in hospital and especially dead are very low once you have a double jab but they are not zero.

Within a month of the second.
I found out in early May he'd died.

I spoke to someone at work yesterday, fully double jabbed, out of hospital a few days ago. Mid 50s, otherwise well.

Lost 10kgs. Being monitored as may have triggered diabetes.

It's not just flu.

[agree though with the point above @lane that the overall stats are what matters, not personal anecdote. It's the personal experience that brings it home though]

It could happen to you but it probably won't is the best way of looking at it - for me at any rate.

Edit - and I feel a lot safer than when I was working in school in the autumn with no jabs. If I didn't get it then I probably won't get it now!

Spiegelhalter and Masters explain why most people that die of COVID now will have been vaccinated. Risk is massively reduced but it’s still not zero.

Government ,"won't be telling people what to do" after the 19th 'but it is still essential everyone gets vaccinated".
