Figures for UK:
138,000 dead. 8th highest in world, leaders in Europe
38,500 new cases yesterday. 2nd in world behind US (116,000)
2,000 deaths per million population, 2nd in Western Europe, just behind Italy, 21st in world.

I think we led in vaccination rates at one stage or at least were doing well but have now fallen behind several European countries who started vaccinating the younger population before we did. Us oldies are now waiting for our 3rd (booster) jabs.
