Exactly! It's not just about the UK. Personally, I don't think what the UK does is going to have a huge impact on topof the global evolutionary soup. So, while I don't like the delayed 2nd dose, I'm ok with it because I think their hands are tied.

Need to get to work on the v2.0 vaccine as well... the good news is the main variants that pop are now evident.
