So how come we dont see the same in the UK?, is it because the AZ Vaccine is less efficacious?, I think its widely held that its the case but figures like this imply the difference is larger than we are told.

It's largely down to vaccination rates I think. Here a higher proportion of serious cases are vaccinated as it's a smaller percentage of what's now a much larger group, particularly in the older and vulnerable. In Louisiana not so much - they have a high rate of unvaccinated people including in those groups and that will come through in the numbers. You'd need a proper analysis to say for sure of course but on the face of it I don't think it implies lower efficacy.

Banana for scale
I'm seeing a lot on Twitter about US paediatric ICUs being full because of COVID, and possibly because of bad cases of winter viruses appearing out of season.... yet no sign of large scale hospitalisation among children in the UK. Golisano Children’s Hospital at full capacity as COVID-19, other illnesses bring more kids in
Any ideas why this is?
Misinformation?
Really low numbers of paed ICU beds in the US?
More obese kids?
Just people abandoning all caution?

"What they're doing here is they're violating the Nuremberg Code, and if you allow one more shot to go into one more person's body, you yourself can be executed," he told the pharmacists as well as other Walmart workers present. "It's a violation of the Nuremberg Code. I do this out of love, I'm not trying to give you any fear and intimidation — I'm just letting you guys know that if you continue to do this, that you guys will be held accountable."

What a cunt.
I am bit shocked by that low vaccine uptake, when the UK has hit 76.3% fully vaccinated, 87.5% first doses so far.
That must be playing into the current death rates, 7-day averages & adjusted for population, both the UK & US are reporting roughly the same number of new cases daily, but deaths are almost double in comparison - 100 in the UK, compared to 800 a day in the US.
