Getting there
Apologies I should have made it clear that the 10th May target of 15m Phase 1 2nd doses refers to the top 4 priority groups only.So progress against Government Phase 1 targets is as follows:-
Phase 1 - 1st dose
Target 32m by 15th April
Achieved 32.121m by 10th April
Phase 1 - 2nd dose
Target 15m by 10th May
Achieved 7.466m by 10th April
Daily rate required to achieve 15m = 251k
Daily average of actual 2nd doses over the last 7 days = 297k
On target
The 7 day daily average of deaths seems that levelling out over the past 10 days.
Not sure why. Hospitalisations are still falling, though less rapidly.
THe NHS are doing brilliantly with the vaccination programme. I genuinely thought that second doses would get delayed. Great job though.As of 9am on 15 April, 4,380,976 people have tested positive for COVID-19 in the UK.
Positive cases were 2,672 (3,030 on corresponding day last week).
30 deaths were reported today (53 on corresponding day last week)
150,419 deaths with Covid-19 on the death certificate (up to 2 April)
32,444,439 have had a first dose vaccination. 117,835 first dose vaccinations yesterday. 8,513,864 have had a second dose. 343,783 second dose vaccinations today.
I suspect Billy that cases will start to rise with the loosening of lockdown. I hope to god Johnson doesn't use that to delay releasing restrictions. It should be predicated on hospitalizations and serious cases of covid, not positive tests.Today's headline analysis:
• 2,672 new cases reported in 24-hour period, up from yesterday's 2,491
• 7-day average for new cases decreases by 1.9% to 2,667 per day, following 1.4% decrease yesterday
• 7-day average for new cases is 6.9% lower than one week ago (from 11.5% lower yesterday) and 41.6% lower than two weeks ago (from 43.9% lower yesterday and 47.8% lower 7 days ago)
• 30 new deaths within 28 days of a positive test reported in 24-hour period, down from 38 yesterday
• 7-day average for new deaths within 28 days of a positive test decreases by 9.8% to 30 per day, following 2.9% decrease yesterday
• 7-day average for new deaths within 28 days of a positive test is 2.3% lower than one week ago (from 9.3% higher yesterday) and 33.9% lower than two weeks ago (from 29.3% lower yesterday and 58.5% lower 7 days ago)
Agreed. Vaccinations are starting to break the link between cases and hospitalisationsI suspect Billy that cases will start to rise with the loosening of lockdown. I hope to god Johnson doesn't use that to delay releasing restrictions. It should be predicated on hospitalizations and serious cases of covid, not positive tests.
