Hello! Here's my occasional thread on coronavirus stats globally, with a focus on vaccine delivery.
Today:

- China: 15m
- UK: 7.33m
- Israel: 4.15m
- UAE: 2.03m
- Everywhere else: <2m

Most counties have barely gotten started. Performance in Europe is particularly poor given their national healthcare systems.
On a per head basis, Israel is still winning the race to herd immunity with nearly 1/3 people now vaccinated.
UAE doing well.

US doing OK.
Everyone else is struggling.

In terms of the % of people fully vaccinated (ie 2 doses), Israel is still way ahead at 16%.
Everyone is is far behind.

US: Cases in decline.
Deaths still at peak.

UK: Similar to the US.
Cases in decline but deaths still up there.

UAE: Cases going through the roof and deaths look likely to follow - unless they can speed those vaccines out.
India: Case and deaths in impressive decline. Deaths are down to just 142 per day - astonishing.
(To be clear: It is too early to tell whether cases and deaths are being driven by vaccine delivery. Israel will likely be the first country where this phenom appears.)
