Going in the right direction now Billy, but what a price we have paid.

There is a definite pattern to that Randy with a spike at weekends. Gladly it is trending upwards too.

Still smashing the vaccines, the 7 day average could get near 450k by the end of the week, that's over 3m per week, good signs, like the cases falling.

It took 45 days for 10% of the UK's adult population to receive a vaccine dose.

It's taken just 13 more days to hit 20%.

This is what happens when you get the armed forces involved in logistics. Things work quicker. They should have been more heavily involved in the roll out of PPE last year.

The thing is, from personal experience, if the armed forces were involved earlier, we would have been paying £17,000 per vaccine dose, and binning half of them The storemen would have a massive stash that they would be reluctant to give out also.

Only kidding (sort of), the forces can sort stuff out, but they're terrible with budgets and waste, but that's not under their control here and they're largely doing as they're told which they excel at. Good on them

The armed forces have to be good at logistics, they move equipment and people around all the time. Experience is everything in any skill.

I did some rough maths and the prediction that at the current rate 15.7 million would have the vaccine by 15th February. This leaves 16.3 million left out of the first wave. If we look at the current 7 day average of vaccinations which is 431000 it would take another 38 days to vaccinate everyone in the first wave. (I think)

The armed forces have to be good at logistics, they move equipment and people around all the time. Experience is everything in any skill.

They don't move as much as logistics companies do, and they're usually reliant on internal systems with little outside influence or disturbance. I would say they're being used/ utilised, rather than figuring out any actual complex movements, but it's a benefit either way.

That 431k average is growing about 2% each day too (on average), by the 15th we could be doing about 500-600k per day (average), so assuming that continues then we will smash the 15m target and the next 15m should only take around 4 weeks after that.

I think the government might have their sights set on doing a million on one of the days, purely for the media coverage (although it may come as the expense of some preceding and following days). If we continue the 2% gain then we're at 600k average soon, and the Sunday peak at that time could be knocking on the door of a million in a day.
