In reply to the discussion: Well, that didn't take long. COVID Cases over the last 7 days have increased over the prior 7 days. [View all]womanofthehills
(11,040 posts)65. It's mostly young adults getting the Delta variant in UK
One in every 20 vaxed people getting Covid plus lots who only had one vaccine dose.
AROUND one in 20 people infected with the Delta variant of coronavirus were fully vaccinated and at least 14 days on from their second vaccine dose, according to new data.
The figures relate to cases in England since February this year, when the variant was first detected in the UK, but the pattern is likely to be extremely similar in Scotland.
The Delta variant, first identified in India, is now believed to be responsible for more than 90 per cent of Covid infections across the UK with 3,035 cases confirmed in Scotland to date - 1524 in the past week alone.

I'm looking at a several week trend. Not a holiday week to a non-holiday week.

0-11 year olds CANNOT be vaccinated - so no, at this point, it is NOT a choice.
