#3It just gets better and better for the UK - which is a relief because early January had some grim sickness and death numbers.
Check out the data on the UK Gov dashboard if you've not seen it:

Also - we are all in lockdown, which helps.

#4What exactly does "percent protection" mean in these announcements? Can we use the definition to derive a percent protection associated with having been through the virus? Is there a percent protection associated with your age / gender / race profile?
It feels like the number doesn't mean much without having a similar number for the null cases.

Not sure why you're being down voted. It's not like you said anything incorrect or controversial.
Anyway I agree with you.

That's pretty good. Is the vaccination drive going on in full speed?

That R number is pretty good. I hope it holds up!

Very much so, the UK is currently only behind the UAE and Israel in vaccine rollout per 100 residents* [1].
* for major countries (incidentally, the UK territory Gibraltar is 2nd in the world if you include minor countries), and only considering the first dosage, which in fairness, appears to be the correct for this specific vaccine.

It is a reduction of the risk of symptomatic disease by 76% once vaccinated.
But more importantly, there were no hospitalizations or deaths in the vaccinated people. This is a point the media often overlooks.

#10Hopefully this additional data will get the US to act the way they should have in November. Lift the ban on Astrazeneca. It's been given safely to millions now, with zero deaths from covid in the vaccinated (+14 days).
The FDAs failure to approve Astrazeneca is the most horrifying government agency failure I have ever seen.
