I hope so too, @Mr Kipling - But just watched some UK news, It does seem the case in the last week that vaccine uptake for boosters is on a large uptick.

Plenty of sensible people out there willing to protect themselves and helping to protect others.

Sadly, still too many blatantly ignoring the requests to wear masks and just behave in a responsible manner in the name of 'freedom'

While booster injections are going on in London, Berlin has a problem in misreporting of numbers.

If an advanced and purportedly transparent country like Germany could face the problem of under-reporting and eventually statistical tampering of pandemic figures, it could be much worse in other developing & under-developing countries, notably the more populous ones.

Perhaps the supposedly official Johns Hopkins numbers have to be revised to at least 3 times higher..

Milwall supporters need the booster too.

No virus would be stupid enough to mess with Millwall!

Lining a wet West London pavement on Friday, people waited patiently outside a red brick building as fears over the Omicron variant spurred another round of mass vaccinations across Britain.

Londoners are lagging behind other regions in getting vaccinated. England as a whole is trailing Scotland and Wales. Blacks are getting vaccinated at a much lower rate than all other ethnic minorities.

The UK as a whole got hit hard by the virus with a high death rate.
