Also in terms of changes, the two country comparison tables on the UK page have been updated now!
On the basic table there is now a 12 week trend of cases/deaths for each country, which will be updated once a week on Sunday.
Then on the detailed table there has been a more drastic design change, and the sections for cases, deaths, and vaccinations have all been adjusted to look roughly the same as one another
There is also a 'new today' and a 'change from previous 7 days' column for vaccinations now
And the search bar is a little more useful now!
In addition to typing in 'million' to show countries with over a million population only, you can now type in something like 'Europe million' to show countries with over a million population in Europe specifically.
You can also search for 'European Union', 'G7', and 'G20' to just show countries from those groups. And as before you can still just type multiple countries into the search bar to show the figures for them only.
It can be a little finicky at times, but can also be very useful!

As promised, here is a thread giving an overview of the Covid-19 situation in Scotland from over the past week!
First some figures on cases, which are still rising at a rapid pace. Our daily and 7-day average figures are now the highest they've been since the pandemic began. 👎
Yes, the amount of testing we are doing each day has increased by quite a bit.
But the rise in cases is outpacing that, which has resulted in the positivity rate rising quite steeply too.
Our 7-day positivity rate is now at 11.2%, which is up from 7.2% this time a week ago.
In terms of age, 15-24 year olds have the highest rates right now by some distance.
Although every age group is seeing a fairly sharp increase right now. Even the older ones, to a lesser extent.
Here are some more figures on the global vaccinations!
As expected, the rollout has not been equal. Europe for example has fully vaccinated nearly half of its entire population, whereas Africa is on just 3%.
And nearly 2 of those 5 billion vaccinations have been in China alone!
Also, I've changed these charts on the UK local page.
In addition to some design changes, the scales on the map have been updated to account for the rising cases, and the popups on it now give more information
On the table, you can now search for 'cities' to see just those!
Also, I've started making some changes on the UK local page now!
First, the cases and deaths by specimen chart here now shows 4 areas, along with some other design changes. And by default, it will now show these 4 cities, one for each nation.
And second, I've added this map to show the number of new cases reported today in each local authority.
The colours are based on per capita figures, but you can zoom in to see a label that has the actual daily increase on it.
Or I should say at least 2% currently have covid..
Also, I've changed around the intermediate zone map (again, sorry!) to now show per capita rates instead of whole numbers.
I think with cases rising again it'll be better to show it this way for now
Although I have now added in labels which appear when you zoom in, showing the whole numbers.
These don't necessarily work too well in the cities as there are lots of tiny areas, and they can also make the map a bit slower. So let me know if you don't like them!
