Hospital data is the reverse of the good news of last 2 days for NW sadly.

England total patients up from 10,344 to 10, 535 (and most of those were in the NW sadly)

NW up from 2714 to 2872 - (was 2575 last Saturday) now just 18 below the peak of 2890 in the first wave.

Other regions:

London DOWN from 982 - 959 (was 840 last Saturday)

Midlands up just 8 from 2135 to 2143 (was 1822 last Saturday)

North East/Yorks DOWN from 2742 to 2739 (was 2256 last Saturday)



And Ventilators in England DOWN from 984 to 982 (was 800 last Saturday)

Regionally the NW comes off worst again - UP 233 to 256 (was 210 last Saturday).


Other regions: London up 1 to 153 (v 133 last Saturday)

Midlands DOWN 4 to 223 (v 193 last Saturday)

NE/Yorks DOWN 13 to 184 (was 148 last Saturday)

The strange part, and very noticeable to me and my daughter, was that no one attempts to get out of anyone’s way any more, no social distancing etc. Fucking pain in the arse when you’re trying to have a run, lol.

Said the same early, no more social distancing, people just walking straight at you forcing you of the path.
 
North West took the brunt of the case rises too today sadly.

London 2352 up from 1948

Midlands 2638 down from 2872

North East 1391 down from 1453

Yorkshire 4014 up from 3592



And North West 4520 - up from 3689.

Would a rise in the cases in the NW not be in some way down to the testing being done in Liverpool as of yesterday?
 
As feared Greater Manchester had a bad day today - up by 555 on yesterday. To 2341.

Back up to 51.8 % of the NW total.

So much of the rise WAS in GM I am afraid.

Liverpool numbers rose from 147 to 230 - so there was a rise to answer the question about the testing.

But if it was a factor it did not cause a major uptick as most cases up to this week were higher than that - though it is the second highest in Liverpool of the last 7 days.
 
The GM scoreboard was pretty much up across the board with some very big rises in 24 hours of 100 or so for quite a few places.

The only boroughs that had good days were Trafford - down for 4th straight day. and Bolton - sort of - that whilst only falling by six got (just) below 200 at 199!

Everywhere else had a bad day. Two in the 300s and four in the 200s.

Big contrast in 24 hours.

No real evidence of that yet in Liverpool LA figures but they do seem to a lag a day or so
That said, I don't think they will be Pillar 1 & Pillar 2 tests so they won't be published for now

The coronavirus is a single-stranded RNA. Question: will an effective vaccine ever be developed? Another question: will you be willing to take it if a biotech company claims that they have?

Undoubtedly.
The virus is only a real problem because our immune system has never encountered anything like it before.
The vaccine will introduce the immune system of all who have it to the virus. So subsequent infections by genetic variants will be less dangerous.
 
GM scoreboard:

Manchester 380 - up from 288. Total cases 22, 876. Weekly 2464. Pop score up 69 to 4138. Weekly Pop down to 446.

Oldham 306 - well up from 206. Total cases 11,517. Weekly 1845. Pop score up 129 to 4857. Second worst in UK. Biggest rise in UK today. Weekly pop up to 778.

Wigan 276 - up from 237. Total cases 12, 924 Weekly 2010. Pop score up 84 to 3932. Likely to join 4000 club tomorrow. Weekly Pop down to 611 (as the numbers here are still better than last week).

Salford 257 - up big from 169. Total cases 10, 363. Weekly 1492. Pop score up 100 to become the 5th GM borough into the 4000 club at 4004. Salford had the best pop score in GM in July. Weekly Pop stays at 577.

Rochdale 231 - up from 185. Total cases 9728. Weekly 1343. Pop score up 104 to 4374. Weekly Pop up to 604.

Stockport 201 - near doubling from 109. Total cases 8401. Weekly 1158. Pop score up 68 to 2863. The only borough now still under 3000. Though only for a few more days. Weekly Pop up to 395 but stays below 400 and lowest in GM.

Bolton 199 - down from 205. Total cases 12, 019. Weekly 1535. Pop score up 69 to 4180. Weekly Pop down to 534.

Tameside 183 - up from 103. Total cases 8271. Weekly 1117. Pop score up 81 to 3652. Weekly Pop down to 495. Below 500 for first time in 2 weeks.

Bury 169 - up from 140. Total cases 7635. Weekly 1131. Pop score up 89 to 3998. Just missed being number 6 in GM into the 4000 club but tomorrow will do as will Wigan to make it 7 out of 10! Weekly Pop down to 593.

Trafford 139 - down from 144. Best in GM yet again though as the Pop score shows not really doing a lot better as it might seem. Total cases 7229. Weekly 944. Best in GM. Only sub 1000. Pop score up 59 to nonetheless enter the 3000 club at 3046. Leaving Stockport alone in the 2000s for a few days until it exits too! This rise was the lowest in GM today. Made up 9 on Stockport in the overall Pop Score race and now just 183 behind. Weekly Pop down to 398 - giving GM two boroughs now sub 400. After none a few days ago. Though maybe not for long!

Todays deaths are 413 (actually deaths over the last 5 days) are pretty bad.
Saturday and Sunday figures will be lower, due to some hospital staff not working weekends, but the carry over to next week mean Tuesday and Wednesday figures could be back up to the dark days of April.

Which is particularly concerning considering we are “supposedly” better at dealing with people who are ill with the disease...

Actually it’s Sunday and Monday figures that are lower not Saturday as today’s figures are from yesterday

Yes, but I'm just not sure some people have the brains to understand that this is not actually about stopping them having a pint - no one actually wants to ban going out and having a beer. I have a relative that's been a staunch anti-lockdown / covid denier type. Now she has tested positive for covid (thankfully no symptoms as yet beyond taste/smell) and is counting the long list of like-minded loons she's been freely socialising with recently that she needs to let on to - pointless, like Freddy Mercury in 1990 trying to work out who he caught aids off.

Magnifico-oh-oh-oh.
 
In the North East I was at work today and Durham City looked like a normal Saturday. Stockton & Boro busier than normal. Stockton market was on. Now you would think the fruit & veg guys would be ok but I noticed a clothes stall, a vape stall & a guy selling camo army gear . Now I thought it was essential things only.
Lockdown. What lockdown.

The camo is essential to help people hide in plain view so they can’t be seen breaking lockdown rules
 
The rise is case figures today may be the result of yesterday's low ones as they are an indicator of when they are counted more than when the infection was tested. Obviously trends can be spotted as Healdplace demonstrated weeks ago but low figures and large figures can be slightly misleading
