• 7-day average for new cases is 31.3% lower than one week ago (from 34.0% lower yesterday) and 45.8% lower than two weeks ago (from 45.5% lower yesterday and 33.9% lower 7 days ago)

First day with fewer than 100 reported new deaths since 19th October 2020 (with thanks to @BoroFur for reminding me).
 
As of 9am on 8 March, 4,223,232 people have tested positive for COVID-19 in the UK.

Positive cases were 4,712.

65 deaths were reported today

140,062 deaths with Covid-19 on the death certificate (up to 19 February)

22,377,255 have had a first dose vaccination. 164,143 first dose vaccinations yesterday. 1,142,643 have had a second dose. 20,241 second dose vaccinations today.
 
Big drop in deaths and hospitalisations, greater in %age terms than the drop in cases.

This is where people need to focus now as we will more than likely see some levelling off/small increases in cases with the kids going back to school and the amount of testing that is been done weekly.

I would kind of disagree. Cases will always then be followed by hospitalisations, then by deaths so cases are important. And they WILL go up from today. The hope is that the vaccines stop the rise in cases being as deadly as the last wave

No, I mean the would trend the similarly. Say cases go up by 1000, I would expect, hospitalisation to go up by about 10 a couple of weeks later and then deaths to go up by, say, 1 a couple of weeks after that. I know it's way more complicated but more cases will lead to more hospitalisations will lead to more deaths.

The vaccination programme 'should' stop the hospitalisations/deaths following the same curve as any increases in cases.
Especially given that it will be mainly kids testing positive with the mass testing at schools happening at present.
