      Incredible chart. It shows how effective vaccines are, including on dampening transmission. (h/t @wanderer_jasnah) The analogy is swimming pool lanes: the vaccinated are, essentially, switching lanes. Also an actual random sample! Proper epidemiological data is so informative.https://twitter.com/PaulMainwood/status/1450892599242502144 …

      Updated! I'd guess the middle bump is the parents of the (much less vaccinated) children on the left getting a more breakthroughs, especially as they are also too young to have yet gotten boosters like the older folks on the right. ht @andrew_croxford.https://twitter.com/PaulMainwood/status/1454072198528962561 …

      Latest England ONS positivity rates with weekly gaps. The forest fire in the younger teens still blazing as of a week ago, with the secondary ripple in the 40s above 2% now. But ... anyone else seeing anything interesting on the right hand side? pic.twitter.com/ptcD8oKY8w

          Boosters kick in at 50 in UK - so that's one thing pushing the curve down for the middle aged group. Plus teens immunisation has been very slow.

          Some is phasing too: is true that cases aren't translating at same positivity in all age groups simultaneously, but some will & with a lag, so the snapshot is useful but shouldn't be expected to be the permanent situation (as 2nd shows). Eg kids could fall whilst mid-adults rise.

          that's how I got my breakthrough--my sick kid came into my bed and breathed on me for like 6 hours.

          Interesting to see that this big green blob is still hanging about after it looked to be fading away last week. COVID cases in 20-49 year olds in England are still *very* female dominated. pic.twitter.com/mDrt6qvtvg

          They also are the group with the highest percentage of AstraZeneca vaccinations. Due to the decision to stop using it in the under 40s, the 40-50 age-group weren’t offered the mRNA vaccines to ensure there was enough supply for the younger age groups.
