Good news for everyone who had COVID - and similar to our preliminary Zoë app data - suggests also that only one vaccination shot needed

Normal service resumes............all good anyway. The continuing fall in infections is quite remarkable and for me at least unexpected :
Infections - 2,589, rolling 7 day down 32%
Deaths - 40 (no change in rolling 7 day - 254 - think this might be a bit of a statistical quirk due to Easter reporting but will see over the coming days)
Admissions - 221, rolling 7 day down 21%
Jabs - 106k 1st and 450k 2nd, cumulative 32m & 7m
In hospital - 2,862

Really pleasing to see the ever lower new cases figures.
The schools reopened a month ago, it was generally presumed that case numbers would bottom out or rise to an extent, due to all the new human interactions. (But with the over 60’s and vulnerable protected by vaccines).

UK reports largest number of second jabs in one day.
A total of 450,136 second doses were received on Friday - with 106,878 first doses also administered.
The previous record was set on Thursday when 449,269 second doses were reported - in addition to 96,242 first doses.

Had my second jab today. So hopefully this will help with setting a new record to be announced tomorrow.

Am I permitted to say? ... no sign yet of the vaccines shortage cliff, preventing second jabs. A few scientists not in the loop and parts of the media were hoping for chaos.
No recent news of nations clashing over vaccines. Behind the scenes, my guess is that the UK, EU, India and others are working together.

Absolutely massive game changer. Single shot. 30 million ordered.
