unless the second jab numbers are higher

Well, only 350ish in England yesterday got the second jab, but from the space of the 31st Jan to 7th Feb there's been 11,500 given second dose (in England, not counting other countries in GB)

It was 460,000 to 471,500 (give or take) right now.
 
Hospital figures - 341 deaths were announced today, down 152 on yesterday and down 61 on last Monday. 313 deaths were in English hospitals, down 97 on yesterday and down 43 on last week. The 7 day rolling average falls to 653.43

All settings - for the 28 day cut off, 333 deaths were announced today, down 40 on yesterday and down 73 on last Monday. The 7 day rolling average falls to 890.57

For the 60 day cut off, 379 deaths were announced today, down 31 on yesterday and down 54 on last Monday. The 7 day rolling average falls to 1008.86
 


To be clear: The fact that the coronavirus is much less likely to spread through surfaces does not mean that it is impossible to get the coronavirus from touching things. If somebody with COVID-19 sneezes three times onto a little spot on a cold steel table, and you rub your hand around in the snot for a bit and immediately lick your fingers, that disgusting act may well result in you infecting yourself. But the threat of such unbelievably stupid behavior at a mass level shouldn’t warrant a multibillion-dollar war on fomites. “If surface transmission happened, it would have to require touching a newly contaminated surface, then very quickly touching your eyes, nose, or mouth without washing your hands first,” Goldman allows. That’s why he strongly advocates for hand-washing with soap and warm water, but otherwise not treating surfaces during this pandemic too differently than you otherwise would.
