@lottieflying@Marillion555@kiki_la_bulla@Dr_D_Robertson Also my understanding is the "assume a variant has no immune escape compared to Alpha/B.1.1.7" for these curves doesn't apply, as PHE evaluates a high risk that Delta causes reduced vaccine effectiveness compared to Alpha. Data is still coming in on this.

RED risk
HIGH confidence (was moderate confidence last week)
"Epidemiological and laboratory evidence of reduced vaccine effectiveness There are now analyses from England and Scotland supporting a reduction in vaccine effectiveness for Delta compared to Alpha. ...
@lottieflying@Marillion555@kiki_la_bulla@Dr_D_Robertson ...is, as @Dr_D_Robertson wrote, how high the 3rd peak of hospitalisations could be, depends on how transmissible Delta/B.1.617.2 is compared to Alpha/B.1.1.7, and there isn't yet consensus about this.

Back to the chart
*If* Delta is 40% more transmissibile per Matt Hancock, it could be taken that the Government is working on the basis that the next wave will be lower than the 1st or 2nd peaks (but large)
However, this 40% claim doesn't *appear* (publicly) to be a consensus.
@Marillion555@kiki_la_bulla@lottieflying@Dr_D_Robertson There is a 95% probability the outcomes lie between the higher shaded curve (which is easy to see) and the lower shaded curve (which is quite hidden).
The peaks of the 1st and 2nd waves are the grey horizontal lines on the plot. (2/2)
@Marillion555@kiki_la_bulla@lottieflying@Dr_D_Robertson From the Warwick modelling (https://t.co/nuU2wviSKg):
"Solid lines show the mean, shaded areas are the 95% prediction intervals."
The model is run repeatedly, giving a range of outcomes. The average is the solid lines. (1/2)

@daniel_passport@BAG_OFSP_UFSP Hallo, vielen Dank für all diese Karten.
Ein Update, für Norwegen liegen die Kriterien jetzt bei 25 Fälle/100k Einw./14 T. und < 4% Positivität im Durchschnitt pro Woche in den letzten zwei Wochen.

@shadysbeats The first sequences appeared in September, but at that point nobody had any reason to suspect they were anything other that the normal variation we see every day in SARS-CoV-2. Unfortunately we do not know 'from day 1' what genetic changes may cause differences in the virus.
This is a brilliant illustration by @mugecevik This shows that if you mixed on Christmas Day and have been exposed to Covid, you may not know you have it, but will be most infectious NY eve/day. Limiting human contact will stop the spread. Protect each other #nopartiesthisyear

Now behavioural scientists mobilise re 'behavioural fatigue':
'If “behavioural fatigue” truly represents a key factor in the gov's decision to delay high-visibility interventions, we urge the gov to share an adequate evidence base' #histpsych https://t.co/vJSBaFDT3H #COVID_19uk
Hey UK universities, you're about to require a war-effort from staff in restructuring around remote learning & all the money you spent on fancy buildings will benefit you not one jot. If only there was something you could do to rebuild all that squandered good will #UCUstrikes
