deaths are down compared to this time last year, but they are on what is now an 8-day run of cases, exceeding first outbreak this time last year. About 1 in 6 in the UK have been infected to date with a 90% vaccination rate avg. That still leaves a few million unprotected. (11M cases/68m pop):
Daily Covid-19 cases in the UK have exceeded 100,000 for the first time.

Surely you mean “that leaves a few million protected” yes?
The safest and most protected people are the unvaccinated, who have long ago acquired natural immunity.
The Unsafest people are the vaccinated, who currently account for almost all new infections and deaths.
Cases are irrelevant. Only deaths matter. If deaths aren’t tracking cases, who gives a flip?
