RE: Covid Stats are good again today25 Jan 2021 18:07
Tondy, I have always cautioned against weekend figures and its in my previous postings. However the trend line is starting to move the right way on many of those indicators now, whilst all the time vaccinations are ramping up.
I won't comment too much on tonight's Briefing due to time pressures but I thought it was cautious but very positive briefing.
*A further 32 new Mass Testing Centres just came online today and I now make that 52 in total if the new ones are added to last weeks 20. Blackpool Tower ballroom, The Peaky Blinders studio to name but a few. the target was 50 by the end of Jan so they have achieved that.
*2.5 Million vaccinated in the last week (they only needed 2M per week to vaccinate all 4 cohorts by 15th Feb)
* Now averaging 250 vaccinations per minute.
*78% of over 80's now vaccinated.
