2 days ago was nearly 80000.
The shortage of doses is still being blamed for the low numbers, but there are issues getting it together with such a fragmented health system.
I'm also worried about whether there will be enough people to do the actual jabbing. My wife is getting her first shot today, and might be vaccinating people herself. The nurses in her hospital aren't doing any jabbing, which I find perplexing. I know nurses tend to have a narrower range of responsibilities than in the UK, but this is ridiculous.

This is a betting site and US politics is the biggest political market in the world.

And, Hello; bit drier this morning!
It is still essential that everyone gets the booster.

If they do not, it'll be more like May/June.
* "Out the woods" does not mean completely free of the virus and its restrictions, it means we'll be on a clearly improving path.
DNA database records have been retained unacceptably in the UK for 20 years, now, including substantially ignoring an ECHR ruling from as far back as 2008.
Much abuse remains to be corrected.
Intranasal ChAdOx1 nCoV-19/AZD1222 vaccination reduces shedding of SARS-CoV-2 D614G in rhesus macaques
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.01.09.426058v1
Intramuscular vaccination with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19/AZD1222 protected rhesus macaques against pneumonia but did not reduce shedding of SARS-CoV-2. Here we investigate whether intranasally administered ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 reduces shedding, using a SARS-CoV-2 virus with the D614G mutation in the spike protein. Viral load in swabs obtained from intranasally vaccinated hamsters was significantly decreased compared to controls and no viral RNA or infectious virus was found in lung tissue, both in a direct challenge and a transmission model. Intranasal vaccination of rhesus macaques resulted in reduced shedding and a reduction in viral load in bronchoalveolar lavage and lower respiratory tract tissue. In conclusion, intranasal vaccination reduced shedding in two different SARS-CoV-2 animal models, justifying further investigation as a potential vaccination route for COVID-19 vaccines.
It would be really depressing to see him prosper in any way, which unfortunately seems to often happen.
Take Andrew Wakefield, who surely has to be an absolutely vile individual, unless I'm missing some kind of mitigating factor? Struck off in disgrace. Responsible for the deaths of children because of his greed and dishonesty. Now a hero to millions and continuing to make lots of money from his lies. And, like Trump, seems to be absolutely shameless.

Is there something elsewhere in the article supporting delaying the booster?
It suggests that (whether through vaccination or infection) population immunity will eventually render Covid something similar to the other existing endemic coronaviruses.
Population surveys suggest that most people get infected by those in childhood, and that seems to provide lifetime protection against severe disease.
We don’t know for certain, but it seems possible that rather than this virus evolving to be less virulent, the fact that it’s both very infectious, and for the vast majority not very serious in childhood, it becomes a relatively minor infection like the common cold coronaviruses because future generations will all get it as children.

One GOP source said an internal poll since Election Day has seen Trump slide more than double digits among Republican voters nationally.

Still not enough.
That sounds soooooo wrong...
Weird and unusual situation at the cricket test match in Sri Lanka where Root was caught off the glove but it was not out because he'd already hit the ball into the ground off the bat.

Good luck, Mr. Gate.
I'm just wondering, who wants to sit around in Kent? More to the point, who wants to employ them to sit around in Kent? Also - how many folk have the correct bumf to drive lorries in Europe for a living now? And how long does it take to get it?
FYI - Don't tell anyone you've covered that bit of law because going forward friends and family will want you to help them in anything property/house related and it is bloody tedious.
Which means that the only people probably willing to take on this work will be British Haulage firms as that will be the work available to them.
As Philip_Thompson so happily states - the market will recreate itself. Which means British Haulage firms are going to need to learn an awful lot about paperwork as processing that paperwork quickly is the biggest value added they can offer at the moment.

Not perfect, but...
Ocado are the latest to warn of growing cross-offs and substitutions.

For sure nurses are also busy these days, so I can understand doctors doing some of it, and it may be that the numbers of doses they have is still quite small - they are vaccinating their vulnerable patients, then frontline staff - it's not really a vaccination centre where other people come to get vaccinated. So it may be in a way easier for doctors to give themselves time during (around) their shifts as it's fairly small scale...
I also see "The permit is only valid for the 24-hour period stated on the permit. The driver must enter Kent and cross the border in this period. If the driver is going to arrive at the border before or after this 24-hour period, apply for a new permit." Not great if the processing in Kent is held up. Hence one reason for the profuse burst of obscenities in Polish translated earlier on Twitter and reproduced here this morning.

...“Graphs diverge on day 14 with a 33% decline among the vaccinated elderly, without a similar trend among the unvaccinated,” he said. He added that more information would be forthcoming from more detailed peer-reviewed studies currently underway.
Maccabi reported that the rate of infection decreased from about 40 out of 100,000 people in the first 12 days after vaccination to about 15 per 100,000 on days 13 to 21 — a 60% reduction.
It’s unclear exactly why the figures vary, but one factor appears to be the fact that Maccabi included vaccinated people of all ages in its study, while Clalit didn’t...
Couple of points, though.
First, this is levels of infection diverging in the third week, as the immune system response ramps up. I'm not sure why you'd expect it to be 90% at that point in any event ?
Second, the 33% is the figure for the elderly patients. What figure would you expect for that cohort in the third week even if the vaccine were 90% effective overall ?

Still unsure to this very day if that was poor etiquette.
Obviously he couldn't go pro se during his first impeachment because he was serving as President, not an issue this time.
And of course it wasn't just the measles. Levels of post 1492 deaths in the Americas are highly uncertain, but some estimates are as high as 90% of populations.
If we ever vaccinate for childhood diseases sufficiently to eliminate them, something for the following generation to ponder.
In other news worldometers deaths 2,003,917.

The chip bag hat makes them look like Thunderbirds or, worse, the RAF and the tie isn't exactly practical when kicking reffos back in to the Med. Other than that, it looks pretty good.

Soon to be exclusively cabbage from the back garden for us I think.

"Examples of excessive paperwork faced by processors included the need for each export health certificate to have 12 stamps for the English, Dutch and French versions, in duplicate – meaning a 15-tonne load would need a vet to stamp paperwork 72 times."
Remember that the UK meat market has a major problem if exports slow to a crawl. We rely on the export of the meat we don't eat, if we can't sell it abroad efficiency then the economics of animal farming don't work.
The proposed law is a bit of a dog's dinner.
Best thing for Trump is to say as little as possible so they can justify what they want to do, get past it and move on.
I love that one of the operations is "Moria Hotspot". Keep those dwarves and Elf Queens out.
Actually refugee camps on Lesbos.
