Just back from my vaccine,and the nurse was saying, my part of Scotland was the lowest covid area in the mainland UK,at 29/100,000/week think thats's @Healdplace Pop score of 29. My vaccine was 2.45 so after watching our win. Things getting very bright.Even better to see them below 600
No, I used the link that you sent. Thanks again, otherwise I wouldn't have known anything about it.Did you you receive a text or letter or did you use the link I posted on Thursday evening?
My wife booked hers then but today she received her letter saying she is eligible.
If they are not using it, they should send it to poorer countries.Being reported that 95% of the AZ vaccine sent to Saxony has not been used as they effectively made people think it was useless.
That makes the UK look like world beaters but will turn into a humanitarian tragedy when someone in Germany inevitably works out how many lives that has cost.
Murky for me. We know the vaccines and 'natural' immunity will wipe out the wild-type and the UK variant but we are going to be selecting mutations that evade antibody responses hence we are likely to be left with a host of semi-resistant strains. What happens with Covid depends on whether they can replicate in the vaccinated population, and the severity of the illness they cause.Just back from my vaccine,and the nurse was saying, my part of Scotland was the lowest covid area in the mainland UK,at 29/100,000/week think thats's @Healdplace Pop score of 29.

Definitely a concern about vaccine take-up. Case creep as much an issue in very non-diverse Corby/Rutland/Kesteven areas.Yes the regional pop data I posted earlier today shows the problems in the two midlands regions and an increase in Yorkshire. North West is starting to look better compared with them in cases and that will inevitably with time reduce the deaths.
I wonder if the high ethnic population in places like Leicester and Birmingham will be seeing a lower uptake in vaccinations which could start to skew the data too.
19.68 million have received first 1st doses
We should easily break through 20 million by tomorrow as the data reported on Sunday is usually the highest of the week.

They said that they were aiming for everyone in groups 1-9 to have been offered their first dose by the 15th April. There are 30 million in those groups so I would expect that date to be moved up with they way they are going.19.68 million have received first 1st doses

What part of Scotland? My daughter and family live in Glasgow G12 area near the Botanical Gardens, they've been in the highest risk area all through this can't understand why, the only contact they have with other people is when they go to the shop, but they have their main shop deliveredJust back from my vaccine,and the nurse was saying, my part of Scotland was the lowest covid area in the mainland UK,at 29/100,000/week think thats's @Healdplace Pop score of 29.

The US media are trying to claim UK people are turning it down too and demanding Pfizer instead.
We had one person on here as I recall trying to play that game but I think we have rightly adopted a have the vaccine and don't ask who made it policy.
When there are about 4 or 5 of them being used this will become meaningless as nobody will be able to stage manage those options. And I doubt it has really been that big a deal in the UK either. I know loads of over 60s who happily had AZ and would have crawled there to get it. And 99% of those I know had to look on their card to even see which one they had.
The way the testing was done and stop/start in the US tests to check a case did not help but much of this has been fuelled by misunderstanding of what matters with a vaccine. And the absurd league tables the media have created to make people think there are bigger differences than there are.
The world really does not need this mess as we need to get the planet inoculated ASAP and if we slow that down by dissing one of the easiest to get to remote villages we are in effect handing a goal start to the virus.
EU leaders seem to be trying to get one over on us for brexit but have massively over played this oneThe Governor of Munich has stated if people refuse the AZ vaccine, then they should go to the back of the queue.
4000 have been offered to police and homeless today in the area.
Common sense.
