Looks like boosters in future will be given out in with the flu vaccine in autumn as it was this year. They will also only be given to the same groups 50+ and those with health needs. immunocompromised groups will keep getting a spring booster also. Seemed to be successful this year so I can understand it

I'm fully boosted and have just got covid for the second time. Whole family have now got it and it seems as bad as when I got it unvaccinated.
Be careful out there folks.

The graph isn't a good look for the UK response or for Sweden's laissez faire approach to covid.
Then you look at New Zealand who took about as different an approach as it was possible to take from the UK and we're lavished with praised for that and they don't seem to be doing too well either.
A lot went wrong and lessons have to be learned from it so we are better prepared in future. Looking at it retrospectively I think the harsh truth is there really was no perfect way to deal wit COVID.

I should point out for those who are discussing the different approaches of countries to dealing with COVID (e.g. PB), this graph only represents the last year. I think it tells us more about the Government's dealing with the post pandemic phase of the virus.

They handled things about the same as other European countries with regards to deaths. England did a little better than Scotland but the difference was small. Excess deaths is the agreed best way to find out how many died. The graph above isn't any use as the UK tested about 10 times more than many other nations, so obviously had much higher deaths than nations that did hardly any testing. To be fair it does say that in the graph that it can't be used as balanced.
Good thread it's old now but the numbers are similar now that covid deaths are tiny

Covid is really effecting excess deaths that much just now. What is is the NHS struggling, huge backlog and terrible ambulance response times

As the twitter thread says excess deaths is the gold standard in finding out how many died and takes away the different testing amounts nations did.
Everyone in Europe has pretty much had covid and most twice. The only factor that changed how a nation done in regards to deaths was whether the person was vaccinated when they eventually caught it, particularly older groups.
If vaccines didn't come we were knackered as we couldn't shield it forever. In hindsight the best policy would have been hard lockdown get the nation fully vaccinated and then open

By no means perfect excess deaths takes how many more people died over the 5 year average. It takes out the massive differences in testing figures.

S27 is saying, if a country hardly tests anyone for covid, then they’ll find hardly anyone who’s died because of or with covid. UK tested far more than most countries, so were always going to be able to determine much more accurately if covid was present

Uk did lots wrong though. They locked down to late and too light imo. They released old people from hospital back into care homes without testing. We also had poor icu capacity pre covid compared to say Germany.
We did great on testing and vaccine roll out though. The public not listening to vaccine misinformation like a section of society did in Eastern Europe and the US helped as more than anything though
