Victoria

5 mystery cases

Starting 7 day lockdown today

Brisbane and Sydney

World Health Organization

Halt on booster shots

We cannot and we should not accept countries that have already used most of the global supply of vaccines using even more of it while the world’s most vulnerable people remain unprotected

Covax

Aimed to deliver 2 billion doses this year

(20% of population in needy countries)

So far, 178 million doses to 138 countries.

United States

Dr. Mark Kline, New Orleans

We are seeing some very sick kids

Under 17s, 1 in 5 admissions

FDA to fully approve Pfizer soon

(mandate implications)

90 million eligible but not vaccinated

Sajid Javid, cases 100,000 a day

Prof Neil Ferguson, 200,000

We knew we had to rein things back again

Prof Paul Hunter, University of East Anglia

We have reached some sort of equilibrium

A further surge in cases related to 19 July is now unlikely

Big unknown, what will happen in autumn?

Effects of behaviour on hospital admissions

Prof Mike Tildesley, University of Warwick

Does not expect a significant resurgence unless there is a new variant

but given the success of the vaccination programme I think we can be pretty confident

During a bad flu season, more than 100 deaths and 1,000 hospital admissions every day

Fears for this next flu season

Young adults hospitalised

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-58095503

Amanda Pritchard, NHS chief executive

One in five, between 18 and 34

About 1,000 young adults were currently really unwell in hospital

Level of young adults admissions, four times higher than last winter, (5.5%)

NHS was still experiencing real pressure

Strong vaccine advocacy

NHS teams are putting on pop-up clinics and walk-in centres in addition to around 1,600 permanent sites, to make it as easy as possible to protect yourself, your family and your friends

Throughout the pandemic and compares to previous years.
