A question for epidemiologists. Someone said at the UK enquiry that COVID infection rates were still too high in summer 2020. But in July/August they were 1/2000 or lower. In summer 2021 they were consistently higher than 1/100 (ONS survey). What does that mean?

I am fundraising for Brain Tumour Research in memory of our son Tom who died in 2016 of a brain tumour aged 32. We hold a cricket match each year in his memory. This is the @JustGiving page and please donate if you so desire. #JustGiving https://t.co/0W0Z9KYd4y

@ThiruGeneva @alanbeattie @Manon_Ress @donatopmancini @ashleighfurlong @RebeccaDRobbins @mradamtaylor @REUTERSFARGE @ellenthoen @doctorow @vivicmt @peoplesvaccine Surely, it is Phrma that focuses its work inappropriately on limitations and exceptions to intellectual property rights.

@docrussjackson @janmicham There are obviously some "bad" things here which need examination but also some "good" things, particularly in for example genomic sequencing, RECOVERY trials, real world surveillance of vaccine impact and so on

@docrussjackson @janmicham I responded that the terms of reference completely ignore the UK contribution to the global response to the pandemic - a global response being necessary to finally control the pandemic 1/2

@jocalynclark More accurately 7 day UK death rate almost the same as EU: https://t.co/4W0HIzYVGK

@Laurie_Garrett @USPS Is that 4 individual tests per household? In the UK they are used to test for infectiousness before any significant close indoor encounter with others. So our 2 person household has got through over 20 tests in the last month and we don't go out to work.

@FraserNelson It seems that every time Sajid Javid says daily cases could reach 100000 (as in July and then last week) they fall significantly.Just an observation!

[Charles Clift @CliftWorks]

Interesting England COVID data comparing last 7 days with previous 7. Reported cases +10%, patients in hospital -9%, deaths -22%. https://t.co/5kOXrE7xS7

@HelenBranswell Since the problem is right now and the statement says the WTO negotiations will be take a very long time how can that help? The immediate answer is to share vaccines and medium term for governments to oblige companies to share technologies as widely as possible.

[Charles Clift @CliftWorks]

@AmbassadorTai @wto “These negotiations will take time” but we don’t have any time. Governments must share surplus vaccines now and they must find ways to make companies share technologies to maximise production going forward.

Is an IP waiver the best way forward in fighting the pandemic?

@devisridhar This is about vaccine supply based on a meeting at Chatham House last week. https://t.co/U79Ags8XO1

@natashaloder As of today EU member states have administered 91% of the Pfizer vaccines they have received but only 55% of the AstraZeneca vaccines https://t.co/VkwDNr8gBB

[Charles Clift @CliftWorks]

@dr_simon @uksciencechief How is this consistent with deaths falling much more rapidly in this wave than the first? Is it overwhelmed by the vaccination effect?

[Charles Clift @CliftWorks]

@GYamey @hildabast My question is whether this is the first time there has been a choice of maybe 10 plus or more vaccines for a single disease? Is there a precedent?
