I think it’s so they can open at full capacity without the need for masks and social distancing. It would probably help some places as opening at less than full capacity is not profitable. To be transparent I don’t like the sound of covid passports at all however during a pandemic I can be objective and see how they could prove helpful but if they bring them in I think it really needs to be a time limited thing. I think testing needs to continue to play a part too, and we still need to know how effective the vaccines are at preventing transmission and serious illness. I’d personally feel safer right now in a theatre for example knowing that everyone had tested negative for covid than that everyone had had the vaccine. But hopefully as we get more data things will become clearer and eventually this will be something we can live alongside without all these restrictions, if the vaccines and treatments are enough to keep hospitalisations and deaths low.
Covid passports could help 'tough to open' sectors, Boris Johnson says
COVID passports could be restricted to 'tough to open' sectors such as theatres, sports stadiums and nightclubs, Boris Johnson suggested yesterday.www.dailymail.co.uk
It still doesn't make sense. We get told outside is far safer so things like sports stadiums and festivals should be the last places that you need a passport for, not the first.

No masks in classrooms from next month
Education Secretary Gavin Williamson revealed the face coverings rule will be partially lifted no earlier than May 17 - with pupils still expected to wear masks in corridors and on school buses.
Stage 3 kids shouldn't have to wear masks at school in any settings. Let schools stop all use of face coverings to have a better idea of spread before stage 4 happens. It seems poor to go from masks in most education places, to nothing a month later for anyone anywhere.
There is no need for a vaccine passport. I rather be at festival that all have been tested for COVID than have a vaccine. The vaccine protects YOU. You can still catch COVID you can pass it on but because you have the vaccine you aren’t ill and have no idea you have it and you are wondering around thinking I have had my vaccine I am safe and you are not . Again the vaccine only protects YOU .
Oxygen tank leak kills 22 in Indian Covid ward amid record deaths
An oxygen tanker leaked outside the Zakir Hussain Hospital in Nashik today, killing 22 Covid-19 critically ill patients after their supply was shut off for around 30 minutes.
Crazy in India with the punishments you get for breaking rules. It's also rumoured the 1,700 a day deaths could be ten times higher due to under reporting. The incinarators are melting because they are having to burn that many dead bodies that they haven't got time to cool back down between funerals. I would suspect deaths are being under reported and infections too. If it was genuinely 1,700 deaths a day that wouldn't be as bad as it's made out to be because it's around twice the numbers we had at our peak days but in a country of over a billion which is many times bigger than the UK.
NHS medics urge ministers to fix 'chronic undersupply' of health staff
Groups and unions representing NHS staff said increased demand for services due to the Covid pandemic has worsened a 'chronic undersupply' in staffing with nearly 90,000 vacant posts.
To fill 90,000 NHS jobs will take time because people need to be trained up for most of the roles and cannot be fast tracked when mistakes could happen. As I have said before they need to bring in thousands of the army and use arenas and theatres across the country for scans and x rays so at the very least you can whiz through waiting lists for those types of patients, which would put the mind at ease for those that come back clear and rushes forward those who need urgent treatment. They might have to look to see if they can get staff from abroad to move here on a decent salary.
I’m sure I read recently that they believe it also reduces asymptomatic transmission by a significant amount. Plus if everyone has a vaccine then it doesn’t matter if they get it - as they will be protected? The LFTs are not very sensitive or accurate and would potentially miss quite a few contagious people. I think a combo of both is probably best but I don’t agree with mandatory vaccines!
Another day of slow backdating, with a few deaths announced from last year.
Only 32 people who have had the vaccine have ended up in hospital for covid

Only 32 people hospitalised with Covid in UK after having vaccine
Out of the 74,405 coronavirus patients admitted to hospital in the last few months, just 32 of them had been jabbed.

Lovely to see a decrease in deaths by so much.
That reads like it was only 32 people out of the 74,000 had the jab ! does that mean the rest didn't .The jab wasn't used till DecOnly 32 people who have had the vaccine have ended up in hospital for covid

Yes so out of 74,000 in hospital between September and March only 32 had had the jab. Need to see the figures for December to March really, as like you say jabs didn't start until then.
Maybe it's poorly written ? but it doesn't make sense if they're trying to make out only 32 of 74,000 people that had the jab were admitted they're quoting 7 mths of data where 4 of those months the jab didn't exist
Unless they are counting those who took it in trials to see if they were safe to be approved for mass use and worked.Maybe it's poorly written ? but it doesn't make sense if they're trying to make out only 32 of 74,000 people that had the jab were admitted they're quoting 7 mths of data where 4 of those months the jab didn't exist

Anyone else get the impression some experts want another surge so they can say I told you so
No it isn't 74000 people who had the jab.Maybe it's poorly written ? but it doesn't make sense if they're trying to make out only 32 of 74,000 people that had the jab were admitted they're quoting 7 mths of data where 4 of those months the jab didn't exist
There were 74000 people in hospital with covid between September and March. Of those 74000, 32 have had the jab.
No they’ve bolloxed up that story it’s old people that were counted according to this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-56826976?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=607fdd4725a85502a4b2dd93&Vaccine is working in real world - Sage scientist&2021-04-21T08:12:06.344Z&ns_fee=0&pinned_post_locator=urn:asset:7951d870-6ba0-407e-b18c-90d7ff2f4b73&pinned_post_asset_id=607fdd4725a85502a4b2dd93&pinned_post_type=shareUnless they are counting those who took it in trials to see if they were safe to be approved for mass use and worked.

I’m a group 6er....should be mid/end May too, yay! They’re doing so wellI was a group 2'er and we've all had or having 2nd dose now. The group 6 people who we support are mid/end of May so hopefully by June the most vulnerable groups will be double dosed
You can always rely on Whitty to pipe up with some gloomy forecast.
