50% of Warsaw’s population (including children below age of 12) fully
vaccinated.
50% of Poland’s population eligible for vaccination (12+) have received at
least one shot.

The seven-day rolling average of new infections in the UK exceeds 25,000, which
is more than 12 times more than exactly two months earlier, when new infections
reached their low. Thanks to vaccination of groups of risk, hospital admissions
have not risen markedly and deaths… have barely risen. Vaccines do work! Many
are surprised by the British prime minister’s decision uphold the date of
lifting nearly all restrictions, including mask-wearing mandate, i.e. 19 July
2021. Worth noting 50% of the UK’s population are fully vaccinated, 86.1% of
adults have had their first jab.

Cyprus is another excellent example of how the delta variant might send new
infections skyrocketing. On the part of the island being a part of EU the new
infections (7-day rolling average) rose by 10 times within a fortnight.

The 7-day rolling average number of new cases bottoms out in Poland at 77. With
hindsight – it just crept up thereafter.

To celebrate the first anniversary of the run-off in the presidential election
in 2020, I compare results of that vote with vaccine uptakes in 10 communes
with the highest and the lowest vaccine uptake (defined as percentage of
population vaccinated with at least 1 dose) and who the local residents voted
for a year ago. Here come the results.
What a coincidence!

The summer wave of new infections hits its high in Russia, with 7-day rolling
average of new infections reaching nearly 25,000 (vs. 30,000 during the
previous wave). The country has a low level of vaccinated population (around
10%) and the daily death toll exceeds 700.

In the Netherlands the daily number of new cases averaged out more than 10,000
over the last week, more than 16 times more than at the end of June. One music
festival is to blame for the spread of the virus. The infected are usually
young, hence hospital wards are not packed with patients and death toll will
remain low.

The UK celebrates the freedom day, with … new inflections and 7-day rolling
average number of new infections exceeding …. The British prime minister (fully
vaccinated). is in self-isolation after contacting the health minister infected
with mild COVID-19. What a farce!
In Poland the reproduction coefficient exceeds 1.00x for the first time since
early April 2021.

The delta wave in Portugal reaches its peak, with daily new infections (7-day
rolling average) 10 times higher than in early May.

Anti-vaxxers attack a vaccination centre in Grodzisk Mazowiecki. This is the
first incidence of physical violence towards a jab centre staff, police and
medical rescue teams. The aggression of the anti-science cattle is growing,
sadly.

In late June, Spain reported on average less than 4,000 infections daily. After
a spike in early July, now the average number of new cases runs around 25,000.
Thanks to high vaccination rate among the elderly, daily number of deaths
averages out 25, a reduction by more than 90% vs. what was observed in January
2021 when the number of infections was merely 20% higher.

Just like a month ago, a customary month-end vaccination (sluggish) progress
report
1. Vaccine uptake in age groups
2. Vaccination status in the entire population of Poland
