approaching 23000 cases in the uk yesterday. highest number of cases in scotland since the start of the pandemic.
positively, deaths and hospital numbers don't appear to be rising. a week or 2 ago I was a little concerned that these were lagging indicators, but I would have expected them to rise by now.
I am concerned by the recent reports that the ICU cases in the midlands are predominantly people who have been vaccinated, and most of them have received 2 doses.
This delta variant has to be causing some concern/tensions over next steps. CRG continue to push for bringing re-opening forward. Boris the twat said yesterday he doesn't see any reason for a further delay, but he repeatdely said the same about 21 june, so that was meaningless.
