A shocking study that suggested England s third lockdown isn t working does not prove that infections are rising because it missed out a drop from the second wave s likely peak in December, scientists say.
Imperial College London s REACT-1 mass-testing study, which estimated 1.58 per cent of England s population had coronavirus in the first 10 days of lockdown, triggered fears that the current restrictions aren t tough enough.
But the team didn t test anyone between December 3 and January 6, leaving a month-long gap in their picture of how the epidemic changed during what is widely considered the worst period since March 2020, perhaps ever.
During that time a new fast-spreading variant took hold in the south, Tier 4 was introduced for millions of people, household mixing was allowed for the first time in months for millions of others on Christmas Day, hospital patient numbers surged to record high levels, and the third lockdown was triggered.
A Royal Navy medic has said taking part in the mass Covid-19 vaccination drive has been her “proudest moment”.
Lieutenant Lauren Hodges, the senior nursing officer from Portsmouth-based aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales, is one of six naval personnel who have been deployed to a vaccination hub at Ashton Gate, the home of Bristol City FC.
The team is working alongside health staff at the mass immunisation centre to vaccinate NHS and key workers and people aged over 80.
Lt Hodges said: “This is probably my proudest moment – being part of a national effort to hopefully get ahead of Covid and get the country back to some form of normality.
