  1. Fortunately the proportion of hospitalisations to deaths is now around a tenth of what it was in the previous two waves. This should give us some perspective.

  2. England alone has a 10-19 age category which shows that 32 people in this age group have died with covid between June 2020 and June 2021. The numbers for the other three UK countries are too small to be included and also it might be possible, because the numbers are so small, for journalists to trace the individuals concerned.

  3. ​ @sososoprano1  "Long covid" seems pretty ill-defined. What is emerging as a near certainty is that the younger and fitter you are the less covid affects you - and that includes long-term problems. What is even more certain is that the only way out of this thing is via natural immunity achieved through infection. Older people can now be protected from severe symptoms through vaccines and young people don't get severe symptoms anyway. There may perhaps be a very few exceptions to these rules but they are so very, very few that it would be extremely foolish to sacrifice a viable exit strategy on their account.

  4. England, unlike the other three UK countries does give figures for a 10-19 age group. Covid related deaths amount to 32.

  5. The age band is as it is because the numbers of deaths from covid in those under 19s in N Ireland, Wales and Scotland are so small that it would be possible for the victims to be traced. They are all lower than ten. Figures are available for England alone where 32 people aged between 10 and 19 are recorded as dying from covid between June 2020 and June 2021.

  6.  @sososoprano1  "Thousands develop long covid each week?" Are you sure?

  7.  @sososoprano1  One good thing which might come out of all this is that much-needed research into the long-term affects of pathogens in a minority of cases will be undertaken. It happens with the flu as well.

  8. This seems to be the case. Just looking at the figures for England alone gives a clearer picture. There is a 10-19 age category which shows that from July to July covid has been recorded as the main cause of death in just 32 cases.

  9. The way the four UK countries do their statistics differently makes interpretation difficult. As far as teenage covid deaths are concerned it is easiest to look just at England, where there is a 10-19 category which shows that 32 people have died with covid in this age group between the end of June last year and the end of June 2021. By way of comparison the number of those over 90 (not just over 80) is around 24,000.

  10. Remember the Great Barrington Declaration?

  11. The percentage of children dying from covid is too small to be recorded in UK countries other than England, where 32 children under 19 have died.
