COVID-19 Outbreak Information Updates (Reboot) [over 150.000,000 US cases (est.), 6,422,520 US hospitilizations, 1,148,691 US deaths.]

I don't think I saw this posted, unless I missed it. The FT did an analysis projecting what the US's hospitalisation rate would have looked like, had vaccination kept up with the levels seen in other countries, like Denmark:



As usual, worth clicking through to the thread. There's also a graph of comparative case fatality rates:



It's still good relative to what it was without vaccination, but it's clear that lower vaccine uptake, at what might not seem that significant a difference if you're just eyeballing the figures, has a pretty significant impact in practice.




I’m a big fan of the vaccines, and hope that everyone will get one. However, not sure our numbers would have been as low as it was in Denmark! Unfortunately, we are are not too healthy over here and obviously those were more affected by the virus!
