Progress is possible with vaccination
Over 95% of people aged 60+ have had a first dose of Covid vaccine in England. That is simply stunning. Uptake way beyond expectations.
The daily totals for the whole of the UK on Sunday 28th March were: new infections 3,862 & deaths totaled 19.
Figures up to Saturday 27th March were: First dose of vaccine: 30,151,287 people. Second dose of vaccine: 3,527,481 people.
AstraZeneca recent results for its US Covid vaccine trials:
Vaccine efficacy 76% against symptomatic infection Among over 65's efficacy 85%.
Efficacy against severe disease 100%.
The statistics above clearly show that vaccination is the way to go to get out of this horrible mess the whole world is in.
The UK from today has eased lockdown restrictions and in two weeks bars, restaurants can open outside with Gyms, barbers, non essential shops all allowed to open.
I read with distress how depressingly slow and uncoordinated the vaccine roll out has been in Germany especially when it's always considered in the UK that German society is better organised than us.
Come on Germany get it sorted, I need to return to your clubs!
