NB Please don’t take this too seriously- it depends what vaccine delivery speed and uptake you estimate so it’s not written in stone.

I just checked my local rates and we're down from a high of 1400 weekly cases per 100k population in January to 95 cases per 100k! Grin Super happy.

I was really pleased by an article in the Telegraph yesterday saying that deaths were already dropping in vaccinated groups, suggesting that vaccination is having the hoped-for effect!

I’ve just had a box of 48 Creme eggs delivered today, ready to take to our vaccine centre tomorrow. They were so kind to my Mum

Pomegranatespompom · 15/02/2021 12:03

For the first time in over a month my county reported 0 covid deaths yesterday, long may it continue.

That is lovely of her. My childrens school PTA are raising money to provide refreshments for local vaccination centre.

Hello, marking my place. The sun is shining and it’s really quite warm today so I’m feeling pretty cheerful already!!
