Feeling pretty good about the current Covid results

[andrewducker]

Constantly downward trend since the 7th. Halving about every two weeks.

This is still a lot higher than I'd like, and going down slower than I'd like. But I am very grateful that things are working, and that we might be able to relax things at some point. Particularly once Scotland gets its vaccinations going faster.



(If anyone can tell me why Scotland is going slower I'd appreciate an explanation.)

In any case, I am hoping that nurseries will reopen before I go back to work (start of March), and that vaccinations will be going well enough that they'll be helping contain the spread by the end of April.

I have heard but have no evidence that the infection rate in Scotland is a lot lower than in England. Looking at the Scottish govt site, I can see the top graph is Scottish data - showing 994 cases(in case anyone else was wondering!)

Oh yeah, we're one of the lowest regions.

I forgot about that site - it's so useful! Thanks for sharing!
