GM scoreboard:
Bolton 102 - up from 76 and still on a par with the century numbers it had a week ago. 1497 in month (new local record - see below). 644 past week. 178 over 2 days (was 206). Pop score up 36 in one day to 1284.
Bury 69 - up from 36. Doubling its record score in successive days and now running 10 times the numbers it was two weeks ago (when it had 7, 6, 5 on successive days). Very worrying increase here. 526 in month (new record). 243 past week (new record). 105 over 2 days (was 71) - by miles a new record. Pop score up a staggering 35 in one day to 1058.
Manchester 144 - up from 102 and a new all time GM record in a day - and three succcessive century numbers which even Bolton has not (yet) achieved. The big rise in Manchester has become another notable concern (amongst many) at a time when restrictions are supposed to be helping. 1552 in month (yet another GM record set here). 627 past week (Manchester record but Bolton pips it here for the county). 246 over 2 days (was 217) yet another GM record. Pop score up by record 26 in one day to 991. All but certain to be the sixth of the ten boroughs to go into the 1000 club tomorrow. And to show how bad this outbreak is Manchester was lower than Stockport on this measure in the Summer.
Oldham 59 - up from 38 to - you guessed it - new record. 807 in month (new record). 315 past week (new record). 97 over 2 days (was 83). Pop score up 25 to 1482. Will be in 1500 club tomorrow.
Rochdale 42 - up from 29 (but not a record at least). 598 in month (record). 235 past week (record). 71 over 2 days (was 77). Pop score up 19 to 1226.
Salford 64 - up from 53 (new record). Six times where it was couple of weeks back. 724 in month (new record). 307 past week (new record). Pop score up reord 25 to 934.
Stockport 40 - up from 32 (new record). Another big rise up from in the teens in just a week. Like other places in GM in trouble after looking OK very recently. 374 in month (record). 193 past week. (3 weeks ago it had 28 in a week, 2 weeks ago 66, last week 141 - this shows very clearly how numbers are skyrocketing not just here but GM wide). 72 over 2 days (was 57) (another record). Pop score up by record for here of 13 to 786. It took well over a month to pass through the 600s and nearly three months to pass through the 500s. It has taken just 11 days to get here in the 700s and if it has a worse day tomorrow will be in the 800s more than six times faster than it passed through the 500s in the spring/summer. Still top of this rating in GM as nobody else is doing much of a job of the chase.
Tameside 50 - up from 22 to yet another record. 652 in month (record). 253 past week (record). 72 over 2 days (was 63). Pop score up record 22 to 1087. Flying through the 1000s and likely into the 1100 club tomorrow.
Trafford 30 - (record) and big rise from 18 but still by miles the best in GM. 373 in month. By one snatches this top in GM title from Stockport! But barring big changes will be holding on to it for some time I suspect. 131 past week. Not even close as leader in GM in this category. If Stockport and Wigan are still out of restrictions Trafford has to be. Surely. Pop score up a record 12 points to 823 so made little headway catching Stockport for its last remaining GM title.
Wigan 49 - up from 39 (though not quite a record still worringly high like Stockport). This has held GM titles too but has lost them with these slips. You have to wonder if Trafford can avoid not going the same way as theae two given its record numbers today. 463 in month (record). 239 past week (record). Like Stockport but even more starkly - Wigan 3 weeks ago had 40 in a week, then 2 weeks ago 86 in a week, and last week 147 in a week. Pop score up 15 to 830.
