I'm waiting on Welsh, Scottish and NI death tol for today, and I'm hoping the aggregate is somewhat lower than last Tuesday. And I'll be doing the same Wednesday and Thursday (and again next week). Given who this disease kills, I'm hoping we see the death figures drop off a cliff in the next 2-3 weeks. This would be in stark contrast to the curve we saw towards the end of lockdown 1, pointing to vaccines saving the most vulnerable lives right now. I think Israel is pretty much already there, but I understand they've gone Pfizer only; no idea if that makes a difference.
