The British variant spreads faster than you can possibly vaccinate people. In Germany the case numbers are still going down, but if you look at the wildtype and B.1.1.7 separately, the wildtype is going down while the British variant is in full exponential growth. And that is in spite of a full nationwide hard lockdown.

- jessaustin 6y agoI would expect Germany to rank near the top of any world ranking of "capacity for effective public action". Brazil and its twin USA are not at the top of those rankings.

- chimprich 6y ago> The British variant spreads faster than you can possibly vaccinate people. This is a bit overblown. In the UK the B 1.1.7 variant is the dominant form by far, but vaccinations are outpacing infections by a long way. Today there were 10,641 new cases recorded, and a 7-day mean of daily vaccination doses delivered of about 350k: about 35 times the current infection rate. Infections have been falling for weeks, albeit with quite a tight lockdown. Vaccinations have been declining slightly for the past week but expected to accelerate again soon.
