Therein lies the problem with headline figures. The data will be out there somewhere, but to provide such detailed info everyday would be unhelpful in providing a generic overview.

Personally, I think the 40% is a strong indicator that vaccinations are very effective. Around 50% of the population has had both doses, and this 50% will be those more at risk than the other 50%. So, we're not comparing like-for-like samples.

Coronavirus infections continue to fall in UK

The number of people testing positive for Covid-19 has continued to fall in the UK, the latest daily figures show.

The UK recorded 29,173 new cases on Sunday - down from 48,161 logged a week earlier on 18 July.

The number of new infections by date reported has fallen for five days in a row for the first time since February.

It is also the first time since the start of the pandemic that a sustained drop in cases has not coincided with a national lockdown.

"The data at present is looking good for at least the summer," said Prof Paul Hunter from the University of East Anglia. "Today's figures do not of course include any impact of last Monday's end of restrictions. It will not be until about next Friday before the data includes the impact of this change."
So far, so good but the figures for the next fortnight will be ..... informative .....

Indeed they will ( and a phrase involving use of the name "Sherlock" might be appropriate there) but just as it has been all the way through this pandemic, most of these "figures" depend upon the actions of the general public and how diligent they are being regarding taking sensible precautions.

I think (in my opinion) it will continue to increase in the coming days/weeks.
