Northern Ireland data:

22 deaths - last week 12

669 cases - last week 865

positivity 19.1% - last week 20.4%

Care home outbreaks 127 - up 1 - was 133 last week

7 day rolling total 3991 - 4066 yesterday - 5534 last week.

745 patients - down 23 - last week 842

54 ventilated- down 3 - last week 58.
 
The outlook this week is certainly better than recently as there are very good indicators that hospitalisations and deaths are on the cusp of heading down and we have probably two new vaccines ready to approve. The only big disappointment is the flatlining numbers of daily vaccinations as yesterday looks like it will be around the 370k mark and we haven't pressed on from last week's impressive figures.

I'm hoping that it is a pause whilst the laggard regions catch up but if it isn't then the targets will begin to slip away.

I wouldn't place much credence in the current figures shown in the worldometer ( JH University in the US )

It says Australia has over 1800 actives when Sky News a much more reliable media reporting Public Health releases each day by State says we have 84 in total.

Far too much attention is focused on the active numbers and total new cases each day.

What matters is the death rates and r factor and world wide the mild to serious ratios which have steadily been coming down for sometime now at 0.4 which is encouraging is so called reliable reporting is to be believed.

I notice Biden in one of the 40 Executive Orders he has signed in 9 days all basically designed for " Unity " but in reality to undo the legacy of Trump in the name of unity which is typical of the left has given carte blanche for 9 million illegal immigrants to cross the border.

Perhaps he can given them all the three masks Fauci says its best to wear now as opposed to none he said was necessary a few months back that will do the trick nicely.

Good luck on introducing mass covid super spreading with that order Joe but of course we must unify America and fight the virus as he says

In other words lets get rid of all the non democrat voters first through covid death or as many as possible OF COURSE A FEW DEMOCRAT VOTERS WILL HAVE TO DIE AS A CONSEQUENCE AS LONG AS THEY DON'T MAKE IT TO WDC AND THE DEEP STATE and reintroduce OBAMA CARE (lol).

Seriously between him Harris and Pelosi they might outlive the rest of the US population.

The guy is a complete and utter nutter and China who won this election for him are laughing all the way to world domination.

I don't really see a reason you'd make it 2 doses?

If I have 20 million doses, who is going to choose between guaranteeing 20 million people don't die or get seriously ill, or guaranteeing 10 million people don't die or get seriously ill?

It's not worth it to double dose simply to guarantee people avoid mild illness when we still have so many unvaccinated people.

I'd say the manufacturers (eg Pfizer) want to see it utilised in the way it has been intended and tested. Variation from its intended use *may* result in them choosing to prioritise orders that are being used as planned.

It's twofold reasoning. One, it's been tested to be more effective this way, and they want their vaccines effectiveness to be as high as possible to demonstrate for future sales. But also means they sell half the amount, so less £££ for them.
