Who else here has written to their MP to express anger about #no10party ? Mine is @JHowellUK @conservatives and only other time I contacted him was abt #barnardcastle I expect short shrift again. But still worth writing, no?

COVAX vaccine doses have been ramping up in recent weeks. On December 5, #COVAX delivered 19 million doses on a single day. Today, over 8⃣0⃣0⃣ million doses have been shipped worldwide🌍 "The ice jam seems finally to have broken." - @DrRHatchett @gavi | @WHO | @UNICEF

#COVAX has now delivered more than 800 million doses around the world and allocated 1.4 billion doses. Dramatic inequalities still exist between low- and high-income countries but we have made progress in the largest and most complex vaccine roll-out in history.

THREAD: latest covid situation in UK (mainly England) and what I think is going on... TLDR: I *do* think there has been a recent drop in transmission, due to combo of different things. Might not be quite as big as seems and might not last. (22 tweets)
