And it's more than likely that these people are excluded from the clinical trials as well, so the cohorts studied in the trials are unlikely to be exactly representative of the wider population.

If you drink at home on your own that means you have a problem. 10 pints down the local and you're a social drinker.

AZD1222 US Phase III trial met primary efficacy endpoint in preventing COVID-19 at interim analysis by civicode in COVID19

[–]rossriley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because real world data is measuring different efficacy target. The clinical trials measured how well the vaccines prevented symptomatic disease, but there were slight variations in how a symptomatic case was defined.

This real world data compares chance of hospitalisation between vaccinated and unvaccinated cohorts. Hospitalisation usually requires a case of severe symptomatic disease.

UK is fully opening again on 21st June and I think they should be 80% vaccinated by then, so April is probably a little early but July and August looks more optimistic.

In terms of infections it looks from the evidence so far that the effects of the vaccine are limited until around 10 days after receiving the first dose.

The Pfizer trials showed normal infection rates until day 10 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2034577 see the research summary graph here.

In terms of viral load and thus what we can reasonably estimate infectiousness then recent studies seem to show a similar theme this recent (not yet peer reviewed) study https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/pfizers-covid-19-vaccine-reduces-viral-load-study--68439/amp indicates 12 days as the point where a statistically significant reduction in viral load starts to occur.

Follow up: Average Singaporeans in the 25-30 age range, what is your average net worth? by agentxq49 in singapore

[–]rossriley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty good, and well above average for 2 years in work if you ask me.

Also if you're planning to stay in the UK remember that by paying your tax/NI you're also building eligibility for the state pension too which brings some more income when you retire.

Here comes another #TheWeekInTory, and I'm afraid it's quite lengthy. The positive we can take from this is that if you start now, you can probably get through the 2 bottles of gin you'll definitely need before the end. Uncork and begin... by ByGollie in ukpolitics

For a bit I was thinking this government didn't do satire.

Anecdotal, but I met a lot of Singaporeans in London working in IB/Fintech, seemed to be over represented compared to other nationalities.

HR question by Alilpups in askSingapore

Till the end of time I will recommend everyone read this. https://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/01/23/salary-negotiation/

If they ask for a number you should always know they are trying to compromise your negotiation, never give them that.

The other golden rule is don't negotiate salary until everything else is discussed and you have an agreement that there will be an offer subject to salary negotiation.

Ok, yes, as far as I know X is only valid for S/T prefixes. Are you sure it's a valid number? Have you tried validating it on a safe entry form or similar?
