COVID-19 VS govuk-puppet

Data published by: COVID-19 Data Repository by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University Link: https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19

This is very interesting. According to stats provided here [0], 77.5% of New Zealand's population are "fully vaccinated" against COVID. Differences primarily due to reference population, your figure is percent of eligible (>=12yo) whereas the number I found is per whole population (including those < 12yo).

In any case 77.5% is pretty impressive, by comparison the US fully vax percent is lower at 65.2%/total population. OTOH NZ confirmed cases == 7.0% of population, US == 24.2%. Big difference there.

Not sure of factors accounting for diff in cases rate, probably NZ had done more to keep the virus from spreading. On the whole though many more questions about COVID than answers.

I'd guess data collection and reporting practices vary a lot by region or country. Makes data hard to compare and in turn makes it hard to assess what works and what doesn't. I'm keeping a good thought better solutions will emerge.

DuckDuckGo searching provides the % vaxxe numbers, JHU CDC data provides the covid death rates. These peeps don't trust google anymore - and they might be moving to yet another search engine

Hey everyone! I sourced data for this from the John Hopkins University CSSEGIS and Data GitHub Repo and built it using a combo Node.js, React, and the WebGL Globe component.

I'll throw https://www.gov.uk/ into the ring here. Heard it's one of the best designed websites for disabled accessibility.

For more information please look at Working through an umbrella company - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

When contracting, agencies and end clients know this, which is why there is usually an uplift in the rate for contractors vs perm workers. The umbrella company holds the contract with the agency or end client, so funds received at this point belong to the umbrella. This is why deductions such as the umbrella fee, employers NIC, holiday pay and apprenticeship levy is then taken from the umbrella income before gross pay is calculated which is then liable for standard PAYE deductions. For a better explanation please look at Working through an umbrella company - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

From www.gov.uk "Most workers who work a 5-day week must receive at least 28 days' paid annual leave a year. This is the equivalent of 5.6 weeks of holiday."

www.gov.uk, or, you know, jfgi

www.gov.uk is one site (although with multiple different applications responsible for different parts of it) ran by the Government Digital Service, part of the Cabinet Office.

I love the UK government website (www.gov.uk) for the same reason. It's simple, minimalistic, and gets the job done.

If you haven't before, take a look around www.gov.uk sometime. Think of something to to with government (say, applying for a driver's license) and try to find it.
