Show HN: UK Vaccine TL;DR, an overview of UK vaccination progress
vaxtldr.ukThis is great - a really clear summary! I can see myself checking back on this regularly. It's certainly a more positive stat to track than numbers infected / deaths.
I'd love to see a chart showing the number of people vaccinated per day/week, as well as the cumulative total - it would help interpret if the prediction made in the "UK vaccinated over time" graph is overly optimistic (i.e because last week was a dip in the numbers vaccinated) or pessimistic (more people are being vaccinated every week, so the curve will likely steepen)
I would also really enjoy reading a post going through how you made it - what tech you chose and how you're pulling the data from the NHS website. Although conceptually quite simple, I imagine there's some nuance to the implementation and if the tech isn't particularly exciting it's still good to read about pragmatic tech choices.
When does it make sense to remove all measurements like lockdowns and restriction of movement? If 100% of all risk-group individuals are vaccinated (60+ ?), then would it not make sense to remove all restrictions?
IIRC >80s make up 1/3 of all COVID deaths, so I imagine once we vaccinate >60s and other vulnerable populations, restrictions can be eased. Unfortunately, the NHS doesn't provide more granular age data - just >80s and <80s.
Hopefully, as time goes on, NHS will report more granular data that can be added to this site.
