Well there’s only 2 households involved so if 3 from fire station obviously 2 at least must be related 

The additional cases appear to be a male 10-14, a female 20-24 and another female 15-19.   That's in addition to the two males (50-54 and 40-44) mentioned earlier.  The youngest is presumable the school pupil, presumably the girl has already left school.

FFS you’re back on that hobby horse again!! SO are the UK by spreading out to 10/12 weeks!!

Only time will tell if the UK are doing well, if we are dong well. As someone posted a page or two ago, one of the people who is rather ill with Covid was vaccinated two weeks ago. If as someone else put, efficacy is 80-90% after 4 weeks, one would expect a reasonable amount of protection after 2 weeks. The two don't add up. Single dose can give good efficacy after around 8 weeks. But there is no way it is as high as 80% . If it was, they would not bother with second doses and get those shots out to places like Brazil and India where they are really needed!

The fundamental question, and it may not be one there's yet an answer to, is the level at which it can functionally circulate.

It's still easy for entire schools/businesses to be shut down under current rule and regulation. So, do we have an ebb and flow of these closures, or do we let it run through a bit more?

What about someone that's had it, that then gets flagged to isolate? Or someone who has been vaccinated?

Good luck getting a self employed person who is on the brink to isolate with no financial support.

They need to sort that ASAP or people will hide symptoms

That figure really depends on the brand and type of vaccination given? Even with the figure you're quoting that would mean that 20% of the people who have had their first dose have no immunity and they don't know it.

Of course that’s not what it means. In a swabbing study there were only 20% of the number of positive tests in those vaccinated with one dose compared with the unvaccinated group.  It isn’t that 80% are fully covered and 20% not at all.

The person who is ill was a patient transfer so major underlying health issues. Glad that see you have enough knowledge to question CDC findings & a medical opinion!!

This confused me a bit. If they were at the same station i don't see how they would not link them. Even if on different shifts?

Ramsey is an unmanned station with retained firefighters. There are no shifts as such.

Except that the person would have caught covid a week or so ago in order to be testing positive now. That would only be a week after vaccination, when the level of protection would still be very low. It takes time for immunity to develop after a vaccination - longer than a week.

So they walked off the plane, out of the airport and into A&E ?

'' Stop giving the figures''?????

If we are to manage our own safety during mitigation, how can we do so without figures and details?

I don't pay a blind bit of attention to figures and details, don't give a stuff about them tbh. I take care of myself, expect others to do the same, and I make a point of not relying on government advice or strategies. I've had no probs so far.
