N Ireland data:

1 death - was 0 last week

107 cases - was 181 last week

5.2% positivity - was 6.1% last week

6 Care Home outbreaks - up 1 on yesterday - was 6 last week

Rolling weekly cases total 846 - was 915 yesterday - was 1061 last week

112 Patients and 9 ventilators - same as yesterday - was 143 and 10 last week.
 
So with no data coming from Wales today the UK case numbers WILL be low for that reason alone.

So wk to wk comparisons will be meaningless unless you take that into account.

The total from the TWO nations today is 521 - last week it was 724 - so a big drop for Scotland and N Ireland wk to wk.

Wales added 190 last Friday. And 201 - 171 - 125 - 94 - 60 - 188 on the days since - so you can guesstimate from those we likely are not talking more than 700 or so today with England to add.
 
Total deaths for the 3 nations (without Wales) and with England out of hospital to come are - 48.

Last week Wales added 3 deaths.

So we are hovering around 50 again.

Wk to wk: - 352 v 199 v 152 v 94 v 52 v 48 (+)
 
Anyone think this road map out is too slow?
Here we have another great weekend yet people can't stay in hotels, yet we have 35 million who have had 1 jab yet we're still living with a lot of restrictions.
Seems very draconian to me

How does being vaccinated stop the spread of the virus?

With our immune systems killing the virus, it reduces the viral loads that can replicate across different cells. With lower viral loads, there is less virus to spread and less chance of people becoming ill or seriously ill. Eventually, there wouldn’t be enough humans without antibodies to infect, the virus wouldn’t be able to replicate.

Small pox and, soon, polio, are two examples of successful vaccination programmes erasing diseases.

I wish we were opening quicker (pub gardens looked very appealing this week), but we seem to be pretty much where we need to be in terms of hospitalisations and infections 10 days before the 3rd major opening.

Seems as if the pace is exactly right, and in tune with the pace of vaccination.

No, they've got the balance just right at the moment. incredible achievement with our vaccine rollout and drop in numbers - you can go visit your family or Friends outside, have a beer and a catch up.
week or so, pub Gardens all back open, the gyms, swim pools etc.
it's all looking very positive
