I'm glad you agree.Yes, my mistake. You are correct.
On the basis of what we have been told, it sounds very 'unexpected' to me! Where does your 50/50 figure from - I 've not been having much success in finding useful data.In light of this high efficacy, I'm finding it hard to reconcile the current seemingly 50/50 or so split in hospitalizations. Is this to be expected or not?
On 1st July ("Covid-19 vaccine surveillance report: Week 26") published the following, but it seems to be a summary of the published trial data, not actual UK experience. Dmittedly, as it says the below figures relate exclusively to the alpha variant but, although one would expect figures to be a bit worse with delta, on the basis of 'what we have been told', I would not expect that to result in the dramatic difference between what the below figures and your "50/50". Mind you, if it were the case that appearance of a new variant had made such a dramatic difference, it would certainly undeline my feeling that we should be trying to keep the prevalence low, to reduce the chances of any new variant emerging.

I suppose because it's in their nature, anecdotes definitely vary. I know of 5 people who currently have Covid. All are under 40. Two have had one dose of vaccine and the other three have had no doses. We must't read too much into anecdotesAnecdotally, I do know a few people who have Covid at the moment, and they've all been vaccinated. And Sajid Javid, of course (but we're not acquainted!).
