Biggest difference absolutely the lorry checks. Used to be more people coming in but less visibly.

Call an election and they will be.

Terrible night. Dreamt something bit me on the neck. Got up to check, but the mirror wasn't working.

ONS cornavirus prevalence by age, showing a messy peak It's worth reflecting how extraordinary it is to routinely see prevalences of 4% in the oldest.
In Dec-Jan 2020/1 only the worst peak got to 1% in that age-group, and that killed about 1,200 a day.

ONS peak very clear in England and Wales now. Scotland and NI following their own path.

Looks like we'll have high uptake in the oldest for autumn boosters.
Younger may be levelling off a bit lower - e.g., 65-69s turning already and will do well to get in the high 70%s, compared to topping out above 86% uptake for the first booster 12 months ago.

So glad to see that the success of the coronavirus dashboard continues to reverberate.
More of this sort of thing.
