Hopefully, this variant will be a storm in a teacup.
Only one parent needs to give consent to have his/her child vaccinated…
Possibly a clearer visual explanation of the figures, in this link.
We should be coming over next week, but now I’m wondering about the wisdom of that. 
Just to bear in mind that the covid ‘death rate’ figures in France are much less than half of the UK despite the much greater numbers of those tested positive in France……
I don’t think so. What we want is an end to this tedious hoo-ha. From what I see at work a rolling 1/3 on average of each class has been absent since the holidays, nobody wants that to continue.

If you haven’t actually snogged someone or been sneezed on or shared hankies you should be fine. I test myself/am tested every couple of days and spent the Christmas hols cheek by jowl with my COVID ridden young adult children and am surrounded by hordes of young people seething with it every day and every time I have been negative including for the blood serum test. So fear not!! Some of my colleagues have caught it and have been/are really quite ill, but it is the old unvaccinated ones so no surprise. Sorry if I sound uncaring but it is the same ones who didn’t want WiFi in the staff room because it would fry our brains so I have little patience.

Do you mean overall?
No I did mean 7 day average.
Apologies though as on checking I see that situation has changed from a couple of weeks ago. There is still a huge disparity as both are recording 7 day average deaths around 250/60 against a continuing trend of numbers of newly infected of around or under 100k in UK and between 400-500k in France.
This has been the situation for a couple of months now and seems more extreme than simply difference in data collection or the UK being further along the Omicron wave.
It may be an artefact caused by the manner of determining cause of death. If the French rate of infection is running at 3-5 times that of the UK with a highly vaccinated population then it’s very likely the proportion of people dying from covid will be effectively the same. Genetically there’s not a huge difference between the 2 pops.

Snogged? I should be so lucky…
It might be interesting to have stats of comorbidity rates though, both generally and specifically wrt Covid19 - I’m still left wondering why the death rate is higher in the UK than here in France. Is the UK population on the whole less healthy, and so more susceptible to the effects of Covid19 ? Is the health system in France better (possibly, at least for the moment) in terms of outcomes ?
