Very quick thread on UK covid situation:
TLDR: boosters going well now, cases rising particularly in children, admissions & deaths dropping 1/5

First vaccination: boosters now in about quarter of population - NI is a bit behind other nations.
Very good booster coverage in over 70s - would be great to get it higher.
Significantly lower uptake in more deprived areas.
Teen vax ongoing (slowly). 2/5

Second cases: cases climbing in UK. Over 50K again today. By date of test, climbing in NI & England and falling (a little) in Wales & Scotland. But positivity rates falling in NI so could be more testing.
Slightly diff picture from ONS with nations either rising or flattish. 3/5

In England we can see cases highest and rising fastest in school age kids. ONS infection survey says infection highest in under 11's - not surprising as our biggest unvaxxed population.
Only cases in over 60s falling. Go boosters! 4/5
Only cases in over 60s falling. Go boosters! 4/5
Third hosp & deaths. Number of people in hospital falling in all nations. In England, admissions are falling (most recent day bit worrying tho).
We can see admission reduction driven by over 65's.
Deaths slowly falling too. All likely v welcome booster effect! 5/5
