It looks like BoJo is rolling the dice on opening England up from COVID-19 restrictions.

The UK is experiencing a major upswing in daily new cases - 360/million population. By comparison, the US is at 40 and Canada is at 14. So, they are taking a massive chance and relying on vaccinations to see them through.
However, their vaccination program appears to be losing steam. While the UK has 50% of their population fully vaccinated, just another 17% have received a single dose. Canada has passed them in doses per capita (35% and 34%, respectively) and is currently sticking them into arms at 3 times the UK rate. I won't make a judgement call on that, as there is myriad of factors affecting vaccination programs. But, I question the decision to essentially throw caution to the wind in opening up.
