Before i forget yet again!

Im trying, and failing, to ignore the pish going on just now, whether that is government announcements or the rage that comes after it. But looking at the figures, i really cannot fathom why Boris has given dates for a new party by the end of April, or why Nic followed even though the message was a bit on the vague side. Daily figures since dropping below 900 about 3 weeks ago have been erratic, and todays 7 day average is 778 new infections, which is up again from yesterday which at 766 is the lowest since the Christmas peak. Lowest daily figure reported in the last 3 weeks has been 559, and 2 days later the high 1121.

However, the positive is the vaccine effort seems to be gathering pace again after the production blip and combined first/second doses are above 30000 again.

Cohort 3, 75-79 yo - estimate exceeded,
Cohort 4.1, People aged 70-74 - 98%,
Cohort 4.2, Clinically Extremely vulnerable - 88%
Cohort 5, People aged 65-69 85% (84) To be complete by early March to this point.
Cohort 6, 16-64 with underlying health is progressing.
Cohort 7, 60-64 i believe is progressing based on ensuring minimal waste.

Slow progress, but i do hope that reporting for Cohort 6 does come soon seen as that is the main focus now. I do think they are struggling for an estimate seen as the numbers of those who qualify are increasing a fair bit, with thinking that there are as many as 1 million in this Cohort.
