Wales 3 wks ago v 2 wks v last wk v today

Deaths 5 v 10 v 7 v 4 today - significant fall here.

Cases 764 v 1168 v 1207 v 1119 today - bit harder to judge - not as good as Scotland but if the levelling off/fall continues good news.

England hospital deaths 3 wks ago v 2 wks v last week, v today

87/43 NW v 134/57 NW v 207/77 NW v 225/ 80 NW today.

That is a big slow down in the weekly increase again (54% v 55% v 9%) and about the same NW, or down a little.

Easy - anyone who doesn't Hands/Face/Space or thinks going to a freind's house for long lasting social interaction or going out on a pub crawl or out to a rave/party is a good idea.
Far too many of the fuckwhits about to be honest.

There are 3 types of people;

1) People who don't give a flying F*** and do whatever regardless, not helpful and will keep us in this situation as the rate of inspection is clearly the determining factor
2) People who think covid-19 is the worst disease ever and watch their daily fix of scare tv on the BBC news and want to lock themselves up or have the government do it for them until it is all gone, unrealistic
3) and people who want to see a sense of balance installed to deal with it as best we can and not end up flat broke and a Nation of zombies who have forgotten how to socialise.

Because the government hasn't been clear from the start and everything they implement seems to be illogical, the longer this goes on the more people you will see reverting to type 1. We will see what happens over Christmas when they tell households to not see their families and spend it alone, it's not going to happen. I am in category 3, but I am lucky I have a secure job and can work from home. If I didn't and was losing the ability to provide for myself and my family I would be going nuts now. We all want a collective effort it seems, but we are not all in the same boat....

Backing up what some have been saying on here based on Healdplace's stats. The tier systems were working and should have been persisted with. Lockdown is based on models on old data rather than using the most up to date figures. Unfortunately we will never know if the tier system would have been a success.

The famous R number is currently about 1.
The government and the scientists want it below 1 so, I think it’s fair to say, they’ll all be congratulating each other on being terribly clever, come December 2nd and Christmas will be saved.......

No 1, agree with
No 2, OTT (imo)
No 3, no one has proposed a workable solution to achieve this (again imo)
 
The 225 England hospital deaths were aged between 47 and 101 and 11 (most yet) had no known underlying health problems. These were aged between 52 and 99.
 
Northern Ireland data:

6 deaths

570 cases from 40.2K tests.

413 in hospital - up 34 in day. Biggest rise in a while.

Ventilated - up 2 to 44

Seven day rolling case number falls again as it has now for some time to 4629.
 
N Ireland 3 wks ago v 2 wks v last wk v today

Deaths 7 v 3 v 15 v 8 today

Cases 863 v 913 v 722 v 570 today - again a very consistent fall that suggests the circuit breaker is working. Or the numbers are just falling regardless.

Rolling 7 day total 6493 v 4629 - shows this is especially true in the past week.

Patients 150 v 286 v 360 v 413 today - again the decrease WAS clearly evident but the large numbers into hospital today have thrown a bit of a doubt into that.

Ventilators 15 v 25 v 33 v 44 today is less apparent.

Vallance just telling the science and tech committee that unless we act now hospital numbers will exceed the first wave near end of November and deaths will reach the numbers in wave one from mid December.

To be fair, the north were only getting 67% of wages when in tier 3 because we couldn’t fund more yet once the south joined us were all back to 80%.. go figure.

You mean the east too? Other parts of the north? The south coast? The south west? It applies to all those too.

That chip on your shoulder must be a terrible burden. Let's not forget, if transmission was lower in the north, people down here would not be in lockdown.
 
Whitty says 'some evidence' of a slowing in North East and North West but when things double 'you move from a few to many cases very quickly'.

I’ve no chip on my shoulder at all actually, the fact is the north were only getting 67% once the south went into lockdown were all getting 80% that’s a fact and you can try and spin it anyway you like.
