Covid-19 UK: One in two hospitalised coronavirus patients develop a complication, study reveals

At the peak of the first wave last March, more than two thirds of Covid deaths in England and Wales were among the over-80s. But since the beginning of the year, the proportion of people in the age group dying from the virus has been trending downwards, making up as little as 40 per cent of deaths in recent weeks

Britain’s Covid vaccine drive-out has slashed death rate among over-80s

SAGE experts estimate 100 per cent of people who have not received a Covid vaccine are at risk of developing symptoms of the virus. Scientists from Imperial College London estimated the AstraZeneca jab was just 55 per cent effective at protecting against symptoms. A jab with this efficacy level means people jabbed with AstraZeneca have a 55 per cent lower risk of developing the illness than those who have not been vaccinated. So of 100 unvaccinated people who are struck down with symptoms, 45 of them would be expected to get ill if they were vaccinated. The same scientists estimated the Pfizer and Moderna jabs were three times more effective, with only 15 people per 100 vaccinated getting symptoms. The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine experts estimated that 29 per cent of AstraZeneca recipients would still fall ill with the virus, while just 16 per cent of people who got Pfizer or Moderna would become unwell. Experts at Warwick University believe the Oxford jab offer 82 per cent protection against symptoms and the other two vaccines are 83 per cent effective

Up to a THIRD more Brits doubled jabbed with AstraZeneca could get Covid symptoms compared to Pfizer

The graphs estimate daily Covid cases, hospital admissions, long-Covid cases and infections in England in winter. The purple line shows the best case scenario, the blue line is the reasonable worst case scenario and the green line shows what they think will happen if 'Freedom Day' was pushed to September 6. In all projections, the peak is projected to take place in August and subsequent waves take of next March, but the scientists said they could not rule out another winter wave. The experts predict that the peak in deaths will be much lower than last winter, but hospital admissions could rise to similar levels and those living with long-Covid could double in number
