So you don't think it's possible that in the last three months they might have actually upped their vaccination rates? Perhaps you might like to take a look at some up-to-date figures: https://tradingeconomics.com/european-union/coronavirus-vaccination-rate Edited April 27, 2021 by horsefly 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,093 Posted April 27, 2021 Surely we all have to hope that they do up their vaccine rates asap. We do not want an explosion on our door step spreading infection and possible variants. The sooner the Western world gets it's act together the sooner we can help the so-called third world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 4,263 Posted April 27, 2021 18 minutes ago, ricardo said: Reality is somewhat different Perhaps you should try reading my posts and the articles I have linked. None of them dispute that the UK has done excellently on vaccine roll-out, and has vaccinated a far greater percentage of the population than the EU. They simply refute any claim, like that put forward by SC, who said, "I feel the sick people are the EU not giving out the vaccine when they can". Even your graphs show that to be patently false. If you can find anything in my posts or in the Telegraph article which claims the EU has vaccinated as well as the UK then feel free to quote it. The "reality" that I and the Telegraph article put forward is that the EU is significantly improving its vaccine roll out, not your attempt to impute to us an absurd claim that it has been as good as the UK. One thing that does remain a fact, however, is that the chaotic government response to covid prior to the vaccine roll out means the UK still tops the table of European countries for numbers of covid deaths.

Bill was mostly right about the UK having the highest death toll from Covid, but the words "still remains" is correct going back to around Xmas time when Italy had a higher total death toll. In fact Italy and UK have exchanged that unwanted top place 2 or 3 times during the pandemic and as things stand within about 2 or 3 weeks time Italy will again be the highest. At one point in February this year the UK total deaths was nearly 30k higher than Italy but recently its been narrowing fast, now the difference is just around 7k and with 1k deaths in Italy each 3 or 4 days compared to less than 100 in UK for same time frame its just a matter of time sadly. That we have the 2nd highest population in Europe of course means its not surprising we have been in the 2 highest spots right thru this horrid pandemic.

I don’t suppose many people take HF too seriously except when he is out and out trying to offend. I'm going to optimistically going to say that we are now at herd immunity level and so our numbers will be largely static now and will put us somewhere in the middle for excess deaths per capita and top/middle for deaths after a positive test. EU nations will be benefitting soon from seasonality and vaccines so whilst they are behind it'll all be done by autumn (please...). Also, vaccine supply issues will be resolved so the world will be in a much better place in just a few months. Edited April 27, 2021 by Barbe bleu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
