Makes my blood boil when this happens
Wankers ,the lot of them
 
I wonder how many of them are Mancunians
Therein lies the city's problem , we seem to attract all the dregs of the country.
Its funny how Mr Burnham isn't condemning them as yet.
Probably not a media opportunity for the scouser to boost his profile

Apparently a coach from Cumbria arrived to the protest today. I've heard this kind of thing happen before.. those EDL marches were made up of out of towners coming in, and surely enough they get chased out of the place too.

Anti-government/police protesters ambush pretty much any organised march these days. A few local idiots turn up but it's childish and acheiving nothing.
 
No wonder you seem si afraid of covid someone was saying on board 1% of population had died it's actually less than 0.1% most of those with underlying conditions

I can’t get my head around this. Just saw some whopper on the GMP Twitter feed spouting off that it’s everyone’s basic human right to have freedom of movement and he posted a link to the UN website to try and prove his point. I told him not when it breaks the friggin’ law (and potentially endangers the lives of others into the bargain). Another saying the govt are out of order imposing these lockdowns and restrictions, but if anything our government have been soft as shite compared to other countries on that score.
 
GM Weekly Pop scores over past 7 days. In effect cases per 100,000 population in last week for each borough.

Rochdale 622 - 603 - 590 - 595 - 593 - 604 - TODAY 575 (down 47 in week)

Bury 594 - 578 - 593 - 606 - 597 - 593 - TODAY 568 (down 26 in week)

Stockport 473 - 458 - 440 - 424 - 393 - 395 - TODAY 362 (down 111 in week)


As you can see every borough in GM has been on a downward track. And only two over 600 and only just with the second of those.

This is exactly what you need to see. It means case numbers are steadily dropping day to day and across the week. In every borough. Relative to what is expected there based on population size.

This gives a very clear picture of what is happening that the ups and downs of day to day scores obscure.

Even if today's unexpectedly low numbers were an anomaly only Oldham and possibly Rochdale would not still show the same downward trend.
 
Last thing tonight - the hospital data has updated.

England patients up 86 in the day - 10, 535 to 10, 621. Ventilators up 19 to 1001.

Last week patients were 9213 and ventilators 815.

10, 621 last in hospital 2 May. The peak in wave 1 was 17, 172 on 12 April

So that is 62% patient capacity of the first wave.

And ventilators were last at 1001 on 19 May and the peak in wave 1 was 2881 on 12 April.

So ventilators are now at 35% of the capacity they were at in first wave.

As far as i know, no one's said that, and theres way too many people here who know the facts for someone to have said that without being corrected. You didnt quote the post so i just have to guess that maybe you misread or misunderstood.

1% is often given as a conservative estimate for how many people infected with the virus have gone on to die, not the percentage of the whole population that has already died.
 
Regional data:

LONDON Patients up 25 to 984 (was 857 last wk) Ventilators up 1 to 154 (was 131 last wk)

MIDLANDS Patients up 83 to 2226 (was 1858 last wk) Ventilators up 10 to 233 (was 197 last wk)

NORTH EAST/YORKS Patients up 16 to 2755 (was 2374 last wk) Ventilatirs up 11 to 195 (wa 150 last wk)

AND

NORTH WEST Patients DOWN 90 to 2782. So we did not exceed the 2890 of the first wave this weekend. And at 108 are further away than we were. After being the only area where patient numbers fell today.

They were 2660 last week so have only gone up 122 net in 7 days.

And ventilators were up 6 to 262. That was 211 a week ago. So a bigger concern here. But this would be the second last marker to change.

The peak of wave 1 is 350 here so we are getting closer and are already at 75% of wave one maximum her more than double the UK average which shows hw badly up to now the NW has been hit.

Though that is starting to show signs of changing with things shifting to the other regions - notably the NE/Yorks and Midlands. Though Midlands is still at 48% wave 1 capacity on ventilators 72% of patient capacity in wave 1 (2226 of 3101 peak).

But NE/Yorks have ALREADY passed the patient peak which in wave 1 was 2567. They passed it last Monday and are now at 107%.

They are at 65% of ventilators used on wave 1 in April too so not far behind the NW here.

Cases have clearly levelled off the past two weeks at arround 21 to 23k a day. It was doing this before this half hearted lockdown. Perhaps this lockdown may even reduce the numbers but with so little actually closed i actually doubt it will have a significant further affect.
