Daily vaccinations are beginning to increase this week with 597,000 yesterday. Obviously a large proportion are second doses (mine is on Tuesday) but it looks like supply is improving. In around a month or so the proportion of required second doses will start to decrease so hopefully all remaining groups will get their first doses quickly soon after.

disagree. Would cause overcrowding in prisons and more Covid cases.

I was surprised to read on the BBC just now that 14% of the 18-29 age group have already had the 1st jab here in North Wales.

HOSPITAL DATA
Summary:
A smallish fall of 43 today - it was double that at 86 last Thursday. The fall in Wales of 19 helped across the UK. All three other home nations now under 100 patients in each. And two of them in single figure ventilator numbers.
So the UK now has under 1500 in hospital and just over 200 on ventilators, London alone had more than this 5 or 6 weeks ago.
Those Ventilators fell by 10 in England versus 12 last week.
In the England regions only modest falls and North West had no fall at all and ventilators increased by 2. There is a definite stall in the numbers at the moment partly inevitable as numbers are so low. But we need to keep an eye on this trend
The NW was last lower in patients on 11 September - ahead of the national picture. They were last lower on ventilators on 15 September - also ahead of the national numbers.
UK total:
Patients down to 1449 - it was 39, 248 at the peak on 18 Jan - (fall of 37, 799 in 101 days) :- lowest since 20 September
Ventilators down to 209 it was 4077 at the peak on 24 Jan - (fall of 3868 in 95 days) : lowest since 21 September
England only:-
ADMISSIONS:-
128 Covid admissions following 108, 107, 99, 124, 92, 126, 98 in the week before. UP 30 week to week as you see. First sign of an admissions uptick. North West though under 20 had its most admitted in past two weeks. But this mat well even up tomorrow.
PATIENTS:-
Patients down by 43 to 1235 v 1523 last week :- lowest since 20 September
Peak was 34, 336 on 18 Jan (fall 33, 058 in 101 days)
Ventilators: down 8 to 188 v 237 last week :- lowest since 22 September
Peak was 3736 on 24 Jan (fall 3548 in 95 days)
Regions:
Patient // Ventilators // change in past day to today and v last week
East down 1 to 127 v 170 // down 1 to 14 v 16
London down 14 to 339 v 423 // down 5 to 73 v 91
Midlands down 9 to 232 v 275 // down 1 to 30 v 47
NE & Yorks down 14 to 180 v 243 // down 5 to 18 v 35
North West STAYS at 196 v 236 // UP 2 to 28 v 30
South East UP 1 to 115 v 109 // Stays at 12 v 13
South West down 6 to 46 v 66 // Stays at 3 v 5

Indeed and the irony is you are probably more likely to do so in that car or taxi travelling to the airport so as to go on that holiday you want this year.You're more likely to die in a car crash this year than of blood clots from having the AZ vaccine and if you have the Moderna/Pfizer vaccine you may instead die of Myocardial infraction
But just to say that regularly being in a car as a driver or passenger is the much more dangerous option.
I'll dig out the old ROSPA reports for other more dangerous pursuits because if memory serves putting socks on while standing up is positively lethal and should be avoided at all costs.
The holiday that by not having the vaccine you might not be allowed to take but will vociferously argue it was your choice to avoid because it came with too much risk.
Life is risk. The trick is to understand the ones that you can control.

It's a shame the media can't give us less vitriolic reporting on Test and Trace. They distort the actual cost (mostly testing) and push the narrative it's a disaster when I've read on here it's been working well this year.Not according to the LA officials.
Test and trace has worked for over 4 months now.
Certainly the ability to keep new Covid cases at or around that magic 2,000 level depends on Test & Trace working effectively.

There were 954 deaths in the USA from Covid yesterday and right wing media outlets and GQP politicians continue to spread misinformation about the vaccines. All of those people would be alive today if they'd been vaccinated.
Meanwhile our local mass vaccination site is accepting walk ins because not enough people are scheduling appointments. They were supposed to be open through the end of June but will be closing a month early due to lack of interest. At some point you have to stop feeling sorry for them because they're choosing to die like this.

The difference is though that I need to drive to get to work, go to nice places etc. I don't need a vaccine in the same way.
Not great news on the Moderna/Pfizer vaccines as well but good that this info is coming out so people get the full picture. They were the safe bets vs the AZ. Shows that you need to wait a good 6 months after approval before you know what side effects they really have on all age groups. Thankfully they are seemingly very low risk at the moment in the general population but a tiny bit sketchy for the 18-35s.
