Indian variant

It said on the news tonight that there is confidence that this variant is controlled by the vaccine, the problem is that younger people aren’t yet vaccinated, so it will continue to spread until they are also protected, hence the vaccine programme being targeted there.

Yes, good to get the younger ones there vaccinated, it’s the only way to keep it controlled.

It’s close here too. In nearby Bolton figures a surging. The news reports this variant is much more easily transmissible than the Kent one.

It’s worrying. It feels like Groundhog Day.

That's the risk the Government took when they gave travellers several days notice about flights from India and invited an Indian delegation to the G7 summit. Extremely risky and now the chickens are coming home to roost.

we do not know who this varian will deal with the vaccine- hence the true and real worry.

I hope Maybee70 that as the most at risk groups have had their vaccine and probably their second it should help

what about the road map?

No change at the moment would not think they would change unless hospital admissions increase
Hopefully the vacinne will deal with it

Seems to be centred in certain towns lets hope they stop it in its tracks
But aa long as hospital admissions do not rise or deaths then it is obviously being dealt with by the vaccine

It will take at least 3 weeks to find that out. And just as long for the first dose of vaccine to take effect.

Over 18’s vaccinations starting in Blackburn.

Good news, absolutely the correct way to
go, I really hope the take-up is high.

Over 18’s vaccinations starting in Blackburn.

A family member of the corner shop I go to had flown in from Sri Lanka at the beginning of last month. So far no new cases of anything----fingers crossed.

This hits children too. It's not good is it ?
Brought in from incoming travellers.

Very concerning, as it could totally overturn the vaccination success.

Yes it is worrying especially with various venues opening up next week.
