Daily data:

Cases 2,493 (2,412 last Tuesday)
Deaths 15 (7)
Patients admitted 122 (116 on the 12th)
Patients in hospital 978 (1,016 on the 16th)
Patients on ventilator 124 (129 on the 18th)
People vaccinated up to and including 24 May 2021:
First dose: 38,192,417
Second dose: 23,228,511

The rolling seven day daily average for cases is now up 18.0% on the previous week and the same measure for deaths is down 22.6%. The rolling 7 day daily average for deaths is 6.9 today. There has been a revision to some of the historical hospital data.

Presumably as adults they are able to make that decision for themselves, assuming they will get to make a decision where they live.

uK ordered it really late so won’t get it until July so no point approving it now. J and J is great with the one dose thing. At this rate may be quicker just to fly to USA and get it if travel is allowed there soon. It’s also widely available in Europe if someone young needs a vaccine passport on the quick.

many ppl don’t realise that if a young person gets jabbed now with the uk vaccines, they won’t have a passport until September so will suffer from more bureaucracy in many countries and outright discrimination in others (USA)

Currently entry to US does not depend on vaccination status. Those young people residing in the UK who have the right to enter US will need to test 72 hours out regardless of full, partial or no vax status.

i mean it was in the new york times yesterday and earlier in the WSJ that NYC is very much working to create vaccine tourism and sites to vaccinate tourists including at airports.

so if the US were to open up more readily, i can see that sort of thing being a success for NYC. set it up by the luggage carousel for international arrivals!

The next two weeks of vaccinations look great but after that...
Here is an interesting thread. Essentially it all comes down to our possible Moderna deliveries.

I meant in social situations especially in states like NY and CA where they tell you to behave differently if you have been fully vaccinated or not

Literally no one is paying attention.

Hammersmith Council is now suggesting people not to travel to Hounslow... And Hounslow council had to highlight on its website that there’s no lockdown there.

Meanwhile No. 10 suggests (I quote it as I remember it from the radio) that people use their “individual judgement” in deciding whether to travel out of places like Hounslow or Bolton or not.

Words fail.

I have used my individual judgement not to travel to Bolton for years now. I didn’t realise it was now backed by government advice.

You'd do well not to at the moment anyway, the government covid stats web page has them over 450 cases per 100k over the last 7 days, and it seems to be increasing... I hope it doesn't leak too much to neighbouring areas... The area must be responsible for most of the increase we're seeing right now!

The numbers seem to be stabilising or falling. It was indeed 451.4 per 100k on 20 May, which suggests an average of 185 individual cases per day. There were two days in there with 285 and 265 cases, pushing up the average in that 7 day period. The recent data - not so far in that figure consists of:
21 May - 147
22 May - 112
23 May - 102 (may go up a bit)
24 May - 46 (wiill go up as more test results come through)
So the number will go up slightly tomorrow, 147 in, 145 out, but should decline the day after 112 in, 130 out.

What's the best way to get to Compass Centre, Heathrow? I booked in for a jab there later in the week. Availability was excellent when I looked earlier today.

Well from here, I’d fly. ;)

It's in Hounslow, you're banned, by order of the committee! :)
