Other watch areas:

Bradford 54 up from 47 Pop score 986 - soon be in the 1000 club

Blackburn & Darwen 11 down from 14 Pop score 1009 (became third UK member of that club yesterday)

Preston 9 down from 16 Pop score 895

Leicester 39 up from 20 Pop score 1452
 
Patients in hospital data

Scotland - 8 to (262)

N Ireland + 1 (3)

Wales -2 (103)

England - 53 (638)

Total approx 1006 - just missed going below 1000 UK Covid patients this week.

But numbers still fell steadily

Last Friday the numbers were Scotland 255, N Ireland 5, Wales 116 , England 807

So fall of 177 in the week - with England contributing the biggest drop by far.
 
ICU Ventilator patients by country

Scotland 4 (level) was 4 last Friday

Wales 3 (-1) was 10 last Friday

N Ireland 1 (level) was 1 last Friday

England 57 (-4) was 71 last Friday

So the UK total was 86 on ventilators last Friday and is 65 today.

Again another week of steady falls which is certainly hopeful that deaths are not on the verge of suddenly rising.

Though this will have a lot to do with the new treatment methods keeping far more sick people off ventilators at all.
 
Finally regions of England hospital data

Patients yesterday v today ICU ventilators yesterday v today

East 66 v 54 ( -12) 9/9

London 99 v 92 (-7) 11/10 (-1)

Midlands 159 v 158 (-1) 14/10 (-4)

NE & Yorks 127 - 110 (-17) 6/7 (+1)

South East 76 - 62 (-14) 8/8

South West 19 - 17 (-2) 0/0


North West 145/145 (no change) 13/13

So as you can see only the MIdlands, North West and NE & Yorkshire have more than 100 in hospital with Covid right now.

And the only area where numbers did not fall today was the NW where numbers stayed level.
 
Really the data is not useful without greater detail e,g age, co morbidity,ethnicity etc.

I find the information from @Healdplace very useful. We get to the trends in numbers of Covid cases, admission to hospital, patients on ventilators and mortality rates that’s enough to get an adequate picture of whether things are moving in the right direction or not.

We are not policy makers so broken down information about ethnicity and comorbidites doesn’t add a great deal of value IMHO. We know who are the most susceptible groups in society anyway.
 
Just one new thing I have found. You can now access numbers of deaths for each GM town and the comparative rate versus similar populations with elsewhere (like the pop score)

Here is this terrible list so far:

Bolton 329 (rating 114)

Bury 233 (rating 122)

Manchester 405 (73)

Oldham 240 (101)

Rochdale 243 (109)

Salford 274 (106)

Stockport 304 (107)

Tameside 294 (130)

Trafford 233 (98)

Wigan 351 (107)


So Manchester the lowest and Tameside the highest is a bit of a surprise there.

Happy to check anywhere by request if anyone wants a health authority outside GM looking up.

Be nice to know Wilmslow (east Cheshire)
 
Did you just see that moron on the News?

Images of St Ives being packed - and it really was!

And they interviewed some old bloke who wasn’t from St Ives (he was a Northerner on holiday) and he said; “there are too many people here, I’ve got heart problems and it worries me”.

The interviewer asked; “did it not cross your mind to stay at home?”

And the bloke replied; “well, I wouldn’t get a holiday then would I?”
