All three key metrics have been dropping by a third, week on week, for a while now. The media should be headlining it...........we’re on our way
Just as an aside, here’s the graph on second jabs. Ramping up......
How are the first doses looking, are they tailing off as a result of this or ploughing on?

I take great heart from the fact infections are down whilst testing is going up because that has to be a good thing with schools about to go back

My 85 year old housebound dad finally got his jab today. At last. Very quick & easy in the end.

The “in hospital” number is plummeting. So good to see.
It is......seems to almost twice as many leaving as being admitted on many days now (clearly some of those will sadly be deaths, but the deaths number is also falling rapidly so most must be people recovering).

Been suggested for a while but a study from the US suggests those taking statins prior to COVID infection are 50% less likely to die even if they get severe disease, an extremely common and readily available drug as well.

Given how frustrating the football is at the moment, this thread is probably the only reason for keep coming back to NSC.
An FT summary updated today, of vaccine doses administered per 100 people.
In sheer numbers terms, the UK is the 21st most populated country, yet has the 3rd highest number of doses given .... only behind the US and China.
A nimble system that simply got on with it.

I do wonder if the data was delayed earlier because of this.......the last couple of times I’ve seen a notice posted saying data has been delayed, it’s been followed by a dramatic drop in the number they were working on. Maybe a bit of extra checking going on.......
Anyway, great news.....here’s the chart
