Some GPs are reporting that many people who ignored invitations for vaccines early in the roll out are now booking for jabs. They have seen the success of the vaccine programme. I saw this on the news this morning and thought it was useful to balance fears that people might be put off going to be vaccinated.

Back to half a million doses again on the 7th after the Easter holiday, sounds good news. Still a decent number for 1st doses too.

Everyone does it slightly differently.

The gold standard for comparison between countries is "excess deaths" - the number above those you would expect at the time of year.

That measure requires very careful analysis for true comparisons. Generally, whilst different, it gives similar trends tob the published figures.

In the first wave, UK was pretty much the highest excess deaths in the entire world - here's a definitive study in a top journal.

Magnitude, demographics and dynamics of the effect of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic on all-cause mortality in 21 industrialized countries - Nature Medicine

Application of Bayesian models to vital statistics data from 21 industrialized countries shows that approximately 206,000 additional people died than if the COVID-19 pandemic had not occured. The heterogeneous distribution of excess deaths across the countries reflects differences in how the...

I'd say it was the other way around. The Welsh Government has been under pressure to speed up its approach to unlocking, which on many measures is more cautious than England.

e.g. Not all secondary schoolkids here are back yet (but this changes on Monday), and pubs here aren't re-opening until the 26th.
 
U.S. coronavirus cases trend upward — with nearly 80,000 new infections reported Thursday — health officials are warning about the spread of multiple, more transmissible variants, some of which have seeded outbreaks in states such as Michigan and California.

For the first time the P.1 variant that originated in Brazil has taken the No. 2 spot. At least 434 people in the United States have been infected with the variant, which has devastated Brazil, with the largest number of cases found in Massachusetts, Illinois and Florida.
