Yep, they switched to giving first doses priority again here, I missed my chance to get an early second dose. All available dates (July 12 to July 17 atm) are for first doses. Which is fine, best get as many people as possible some anti bodies while the delta variant gains in numbers. Globally cases are on the rise again, both Europe and the US rising again as well. Full update tonight/tomorrow. (Numbers don't come in until 10pm)

Meanwhile BC is on fire and we went from drought to (near) flood :/ Torrential rain the past few days, including hail. I was on my bike yesterday when one hit. It got so dark I could hardly make out the trail which had turned into a river. The rain was freezing, 'luckily' the still hot ground warmed up the water keeping me moving as I plowed through it lol. I couldn't stop in fear that my legs would seize up, made it home, covered in mud. Dumped a couple buckets of pool water over me and jumped in, felt like a hot tub. It took another long hot shower to get my core temperature back up and stop shivering. That was the worst storm I have cycled through that I can remember, at the end of an 80 km ride, last 12 km through the freezing rain and high winds.

Well, it's been over 24 hours and I have yet to feel any adverse side effects from my vaccination, other than my upper arm where I was injected feeling a little bit tender for a while yesterday, which was very mild and has since gone away.

I've never had any real side effects from my annual flu vaccinations either so I guess it's just the way my body is.

I got pfizer and basically had it the same way.
Sore arm, for like 1,5 day.... by end of 2nd day it was basically gone.
Maybe abit more tired, late into the nights, than before... lasted like 2 more days.

Havnt really had any "adverse side effects" (can't even call it that imo).
After 4 days, it was basically everything is back to normal.

Super happy I got vaccinated.

Denmark is now at 58% vaccinated (with 1 jab), and I think we're accelerating the numbers getting it recently.
(because we got 1million doses, from romania)

Also trust in vaccines is high in denmark (not many anti vac's people here), so hopefully we get that number high enough to build up a herd immunity.
And virus just goes away.

Europe in detail


I guess it's the delta variant gaining more ground in various countries.

Mind, the increase in deaths in Europe is almost entirely in Russia with the remainder being dumps of backlog deaths in Romania.

Things look okay now, for the UK.
But the fact of the matter is they have counted ~128,200 deaths due to covid, and the real number is over 150k 
(they did some number magic, to have it reduced to 128k. Ei. they dont count the same way other places in the world does).

They have one of the highest deaths pr population stats of any country in the EU.

Also, why is European Union over 2,3k deaths for July 2nd?

If you go to worldometers.info/coronavirus/ and hit "europe" it shows only 962 deaths (for july 2nd).
(and this is with Russia owning ~680 of them)

Like how reliable is that chart? more so than worldometers.info/coronavirus/ ?

Edit:

Nvm. its a weekly avg?
Still nvms seem higher for eu than I'd assume it was.

It's 7-day-cumulative, not 7-day-average.

Average would be ~286 deaths a day when looking at the past 7 days.

These are weekly deaths, that is, counting the seven most recent days up to the date shown in the graph.

Anyway, I don't think the UK is an unusual situation. According to the IHME database, the UK has about 164,000 excess deaths and about 80% were reported as Covid deaths according to that 28-day definition, same proportion as France and Italy. Most of the remainder is likely due to the increasing number of yearly deaths as the populations of developed countries age.

The US has vaccinated an equivalent of ~70% of its adult population, and at least an equivalent of 10% of the population were coronavirus cases. Although not all of them were adult vaccinations, I think it will only creep up slowly from now on.

I mean, some red states have vaccinated much less than this average, so it'll vary considerably. I'm not sure seropositivity could make up for it since the virus spreads better in blue urban areas to begin with, so it might be a relatively uniform ~ 30% nationwide. But let's hope so.
