@Discombobulated - sorry to hear things are complicated for you right now. I have been following the situation there and was wondering how you were.


It is looking like the vaccinations are the reason, I agree. We have been pretty freed up for the last few months and it has been a long time since we have had more than 1,000 cases a day. I guess you guys have approximately 3X our population, so that would be equivalent to about 3,000 cases there. Our vaccination rates surpassed the UK a while ago and now they are quickly giving boosters of Pfizer/AstraZeneca to people who got Sinovac. We only have 361 people in ICUs today and 8 deaths. I am amazed at the turnaround. Is the antivax segment significant in the UK, like in the US? I am wondering.


If there were going to be a huge spike in cases due to Independence Day celebrations, we would be seeing it by now. Cases have been a bit higher, but nothing that significant.

I guess now the big test is coming. They did not renew the state of constitutional exception. That means the end of curfews today and no more lockdowns. Less intrusive measures like capacity restrictions can be implemented and some activities can be restricted to vaccinated people only.
