True but the numbers are still well down on actual due to people not signing in to things. How many people are actually scanning in to pubs restaurants etc. Its obviously hard to guess but it must only be about 40%/50% or so.

Covid unlocking risk for pregnant women, say doctors
Doctors and midwives warn Covid can pose a greater risk to women in the later stages of pregnancy.www.bbc.co.uk
The RCOG told the BBC its data suggests 58% of pregnant women have declined a Covid vaccine.
It acknowledged "mixed messages" about the safety of the vaccine at the start of the programme had caused confusion - but said it was disappointed there had not been more direct campaigns targeted at pregnant women by the government and NHS England, since vaccination was approved for the group in April. The RCOG says pregnant women were the only clinically vulnerable group not prioritised for vaccination. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) now advises that pregnant women should all be offered the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines where available, at the same time as the rest of the population. Research from the US, involving more than 90,000 pregnant people found no risk, and experts say there is no reason to think there is any increased risk of miscarriage - as the vaccine does not appear to cross from the mother to child via the placenta.
Both colleges are urging those who are pregnant or considering pregnancy who have not yet been vaccinated to consider getting a jab as soon as possible and book their second doses as soon as they are eligible.
Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated pregnant women should take steps to avoid infection by continuing to practice social distancing, particularly in their third trimester, they say.
Friend working in a hospital in Arkansas says 20% of their current COVID patients are pregnant

It'll not be a lockdown again. But certain places will have to close and number restrictions will come back..
Nailed on the football stadiums will only be allowed 50% capacity..
If anything like the Netherlands, Israel or California experience I’d say the mask part might be reversed even sooner especially if hospital admissions keep doubling at current rate of every two weeks.
Unfortunately, and I know this as my sister has just given birth, pregnant women weren't able to get the jab at first.
they now can, but understandably, a lot will be cautious.
I don't know what they can do other than what they have though. You can't use pregnant people as test subjects.

Based on antibody testing of blood donors, 90.9% of the adult population now have antibodies to COVID-19 from either infection or vaccination compared to 16.3% that have antibodies from infection alone. Over 96% of adults aged 40 or older have antibodies from either infection or vaccination. Seropositivity among those aged 17 to 29 has begun to rise over the last few weeks. The latest estimates indicate that the vaccination programme has directly averted over 46,300 hospitalisations. Analysis on the direct and indirect impact of the vaccination programme on infections and mortality suggests the vaccination programme has prevented between 11 and 12.5 million infections and between 35,200 and 38,600 deaths.

Think it's important to remember that under 40's are less likely to have AZ vaccine so it's pretty good that the results aren't far off from Pfizer.
Miraculous really when you compare the cost.
How can 2 doses of AZ be less effective at mortality than hospitalisation? Shouldn't those categories be flipped?
And ease of storage between the two.
Really wish we were getting more AZ out to other nations, that many can have so little protection for their vulnerable and healthcare workers is appalling.
