Suspect he'll be urging folk in rising areas to get vaccinated. If it was bad news he'd have sent wolly Hancock to take the flack.

Don't worry Mr Glum And Mr Glummer (Whitty & Vallance) will be present

That's simply not true. The data is provided above.



And this is not true either.

I'll step you through the figures. All are 7 day current averages taken from ourworldindata.

UK current vaccine doses per capita 80.72
Germany 45.64

Difference 35.08

Current German vaccination daily rate 0.94%

Time to vaccinate = (35.08/0.94) = 37 days.

Or just over 5 weeks.

All the data is here.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccinations

Our vaccination dataset uses the most recent official numbers from governments and health ministries worldwide. Population estimates for per-capita metrics are based on the United Nations World Population Prospects. Income groups are based on the World Bank classification. A full list of our...

You're wong on just about every count.
Go ahead though and keep imagining how much better the EU is doing than the UK.
I shall snigger.
Oh and companies are producing the vaccine not countries. Moderna and Pfizer are US owned for example.

The figures I quoted are from that source. They directly contradict what you said.

You just haven't read what I actually wrote. I can't help you with that, I'm afraid.

The EU are currently vaccinating more people per capita than we are (there's a big dip on the last day of reporting, but that's normally an artefact and will almost certainly be updated later)



It's fascinating how powerful narrative is.

Surely it cant be local lockdowns again? All that will do is force people into neighboring areas again

So I was absolutely right. You don’t think 60 to 94% efficacy is a big jump or one worth focusing on. Luckily you’re not in charge of the process. I’d be surprised if you’re in charge of your own bladder.

Reply if you want but I’m sticking you on ignore, there’s nothing to be gained from reading your ramblings and this is luckily the only thread you post on.

So,it really is Goodbye Roubaix Tuesday.

Not wanting to get involved in an argument, but I could just point out that that is clearly a rate of vaccination and not cumulative. So doesn't actually indicate that the EU has caught up so to speak?

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

God, I can't believe there are people on here measuring cocks about who's vaccine rollout is better.

Remember that the figures of people dying are real humans with families. It's not an us vs them situation. We're all in this together whether you're an EU citizen or UK.

We're lucky that the UK has vaccinated the most vulnerable in our four countries. We should be doing way more to help countries who are lagging behind and try to save as many lives as possible. The fact we're still importing AZ vaccines from India is sheer lunacy to me.

haha brilliant. made me chuckle.

Current cumulative figures as a %age of population, given UK has now vaccinated the most vulnerable it is inevitable that the rate will slow as take up drops off. Really glad the EU states seem to have sorted their issues and are now jabbing at rate and fully agree with @Manchester33 that as the we and the rest of the West as they catch us should be helping the poorer states.
