The post you quotes does say offered.I would say offered rather than received. Otherwise you are at best sailing close to the wind, or even in breach of the current enabling act(s) - which (for England) is different to the Coronavirus Act 2020.

What does offered mean though - the day they say its now available to be booked or when they would have realistically vaccinated that age group?Slight oops - but I will say that it should stick with doses offered, if not necessarily accepted. After all, the wording was taken from that enabling act (Public Health Act 1984 as amended) and placed into the Coronavirus Act 2020 for Scotland, which could be seen as an overall endorsement of the choice of words by the current UK Parliament.
English hospitalisation figures up from 805 to 860 over weekend with mechanically ventilated only up two to 133 so not so positive but well within SPI-M predictions after step 3. Lets hope figures drift back down over the week to show limited impact from higher case level so some elements of Step 4 can be taken.Just one reported death today. In Wales. From April 2020! So it's 0 if you do within 28 days. Okay I know it's a Sunday stat, but it's good going.

Totally agree and an uptick was expected after Step 3 which didn't factor in the Delta variant so to have that as well and have data this positive is fantastic outcome. So they should be celebrating what a great job they've done with the vaccine roll out and openly bragging about how they got behind vaccine researchers and provided this salvation for the British Public and as a result some elements of Step 4 will go ahead.This is the metric everyone should be looking to. +2 on ventilation considering the fairly sizeable case increase is a very good result and yet more evidence of the increasing disconnect between cases and serious hospitalizations / deaths.
When you consider that English hospitalisations peaked at 34,015 on 19th January, you can see that this is chickenfeed.
Even if the numbers in hospital were to treble, the NHS would come nowhere near to being overwhelmed.
That hasn't stopped some NHS doctors saying that, not only should 21st June not go ahead, but that some of the easings of May 17th should be reversed.
I think you can park this proposal in the "...more likely to see Elvis Presley on the moon driving a double decker bus with Lord Lucan as the conductor..." category.
Generally Monday does show a slight uptick even when we were on a significant downtrend so i concur but this week has seen a broader rise especially in NE. However last issue of CO-CIN report shows majority of patients admitted are being cared for on wards with Oxygen therapy and that 75% of those admitted are released within 4 days. The point being is NHS can respond to the current levels with impacting overall response - they have c120k beds available in England although with SD in hospitals I believe its down around 100k currently.I ignore hospitalizations on Sundays and Mondays but yes let's see how this week goes.

I would expect there to be some detailed (and rapid) analysis going on of who has got infected, and who has landed in hospital with respect to their vaccination status and level of vulnerability. In my view a ‘wait for more data’ announcement on June 14th is more likely than not.
Very important news from Matt Hancock in the Commons, confirming Covid jabs are working. Out of 12,383 Delta variant cases in UK till June 3rd: - 464 people went to emergency care - 126 admitted to hospital - 83 were unvaccinated - 28 had one jab - Just 3 both doses
This interview on talkradio is with somebody who thinks restrictions shouldn't be eased and infact should last forever.
It is terrifying that somebody like this - educated at Cambridge, a trained Doctor, a former MP - can hold such selfish views. I fear there are many others like him.
Luckily people with views such as these in positions of actual power and responsibility are few and far between.
I honestly think Gove is close to this opinion; or, at least, he hasn't done or said anything to dissuade me that he isn't.
Albeit I’d be interested to know the vaccination status of the 12 people admitted to hospital who did not fall into one of the three categories of unvaccinated / 1 dose / 2 doses.
It is concerning, and these are the types of people to call us selfish for wanting to get back to normal life. He can stay cacooned up in his house for all I care - but he should not be trying to get the whole country to do the same. I think he's enjoying his comfortable life at home a bit too much and doesn't want to get back to reality.This interview on talkradio is with somebody who thinks restrictions shouldn't be eased and infact should last forever.

It seems inevitable that there will be a delay to 21st June. Always just out of reach...

He's 86 years old, completely out of touch with reality, very comfortable financially and can let everyone else run around after him for the rest of his life. He hasn't got a care in the world. What is absolutely abhorrent is that he is suggesting everyone else needs to do the same, I cannot respect them any longer. These people have taken so much from us and when they have it so good themselves they couldn't give a toss about how it affects anyone else.
What is particularly galling is that I have accepted and received a vaccine that I didn't really care for having because it was claimed to be our way out. Ironically part of the bargain was to protect people like him.
People should be free to choose what they want to do. If people want to social distance, wear masks or WFH most of the time, they should be free to do that. However providing they have no symptoms there should be no laws forcing people or guidance to do any of those things.A recent poll within the travel industry (mine) suggests that three-quarters of staff prefer the choice of WFH or going into the office, and fewer than 1 in 10 people wish to work in the office full-time. Just over 1 in 10 prefer WFH full-time.
Based on this, we need a form of normality to resume, including this social distancing/obligatory masks malarkey to end, but not go back completely to how life was prior to mid-March 2020.
Agree, I think it is now at the point that those advocating continuing restrictions, certainly once everyone has been offered the vaccines are the selfish ones.It is concerning, and these are the types of people to call us selfish for wanting to get back to normal life.

I almost feel sorry for the doddering old man because he was senile enough to say out loud what the rest of the Fake SAGE lot think but aren't silly enough to say in public - that they want this to last forever to 'save' every last life, no matter how many they ruin. At least unlike the rest of them he evidently realised by the end of it that he has absolutely no business opining on the matter in public.He's 86 years old, completely out of touch with reality, very comfortable financially and can let everyone else run around after him for the rest of his life.

You can't really say that it was "inevitable" given that the relaxation of restrictions last summer didn't lead to any increase in infections.
We also didn't have the mass testing that we do now - "the more you look, the more you'll find" and all that!But last summer we didn't have the Indian variant that you could catch by just looking at someone the wrong way. Neither did we have the Vietnamese hybrid variant that can be caught merely by being in the same postcode.
Given testing was back around the 1.2m mark yesterday, it would seem the school holidays caused a temporary drop offTests carried out have notably dropped off in recent days, probably because of half term. What will be interesting is how much they go back up by afterwards as an indication of how much people care about this now; testing peaked between schools returning in March and Easter, but never returned to those levels after the Easter holidays, even though the twice weekly free tests' initiative was introduced by then.
Hospital admissions will need more time to see if there's a trend, but if a return to declines over the next few days emerges, or at least flatlining relative to rising cases, this will certainly look good.
How do you find out the dates? I know about it for English hospitals, but not for othersJust one reported death today. In Wales. From April 2020! So it's 0 if you do within 28 days. Okay I know it's a Sunday stat, but it's good going.
NHS England data today certainly doesn't indicate NW Region is running ahead of any other area with total hospitalisations upto 879 from 860 yesterday with Midland region responsible for biggest numerical increase but its erratic from day to the next and over 7 day average Midlands is still in overall decline.Local guidance extended from Bolton and Blackburn into Manchester and other parts of Lancashire. With the rate increases being seen in the north west and how localised it is I am concerned regional restrictions will make a comeback.
I am hopefully government will hold their nerve in the face of hospitals not becoming overrun.
