After a rough start with slow roll-outs in Europe they have finally reached US and UK levels in their vaccination programs as Chart 2 shows. However, looking at Chart 3 they are still far behind with only half as many vaccination shots used per 100.000, which indefinitely will lead to slower reopenings in Europe. Boris Johnson said a couple of days ago that he expects UK will end lockdown rules by the 21st of June.

New negative record in India. Yesterday, India could announce 412,618 new cases which is the most cases during the whole pandemic for any country. As the number of cases surge also the amount of death are expected to double already by next week.
