1 in 1,000 people in the UK have died after contracting COVID (this number is rising).

2 people out of thousands vaccinated yesterday had an allergic reaction that they recovered from (both people carry EpiPens and have a history of allergic reactions).

Monitoring systems mean we know about this, so bottom line is everything is going well so far. We will obviously want to continue to monitor.

1 in 1000 deaths is of the entire U.K. population, not just of those who have contracted the virus. The death rate is roughly 1 in 28 for those who caught it.

You are confusing IFR and CFR.

Thanks for pointing that out, I had indeed forgotten to account for that.

Yes, because one day is enough time to conclude about outcomes.
