97 percent of 60 plus is absolutely mind-blowingly good. Well above any estimate or anything modelling is based on. At the start of the year 80 % would have been considered good going.

More of an American thing but I'm guessing no one is willing to keep to restrictions to protect the anti vaxxers in this case? (On e everyone has had the opportunity to have one)

Man, India is completely fucked. Is the new Indian variant more transmissible than even our variant?

Doubtful - more to do with people not having the vaccine and not keeping their distance.  Did you see the recent religious celebrations ?

They obviously didn't pray hard enough...

India has a population of approximately 1.3 billion. When you consider their death rate is estimated at 185,000, you'd have to say they've done better than we have. Especially when you take into account the poverty & healthcare problems there.

Their death figures are notoriously misleading though.

They are not accurate at all.

This thread on the subject is pretty good for information:

These numbers are staying in and around the 2.5k mark. We just aren't seeing enough first time doses. I make April an average by just looking at number of between 80-90k a day.

Also interesting that their models don't predict a third wave in the UK - is it actually modelling the end of restrictions?

Hearing some talk that 18-30’s might get vaccinated because 31-40 year olds. Reason being that we have a lot of Pfizer supply ready to go and the non-AZ stocks need to be reserved for the younger group, so makes sense to start firing them into arms and the 30-somethings can wait until the next batch of AZ comes in.

Some talk from who? That's probably not going to happen.

Once again, can you name at least some sort of source when you're posting stuff like this. You've been told multiple times about this. If it's someone on Twitter, just say it was someone on Twitter.
