England hospital deaths 246 - with 54 only NW - 53 from Yorkshire and 60 Midlands.

Last Friday it was 218 with 63 NW, 58 Yorkshire and 49 Midlands.

Whilst up these are better figures than recent days with a modest increase.
 
Not wishing to put a dampener on things but I think you have to prepare for the vaccine not being as successful as hoped. Only a few people got covid in the sample and I believe most of those had mild symptoms. There is no proof yet the vaccine will prevent severe covid which is what we should be worried about
Based on any science, or just what's in you head ?

Jesus there's some miserable fuckers in here
 
England hospital deaths 3 wks ago v 2 wks v last wk v today

131 / 47 NW v 163 / 57 NW v 218 / 63 NW v 246 / 54 NW today

week to week rises of 24% v 34% v 13% this week.

And very clear week to week drops in the percentage numbers of deaths from the UK coming from the NW. From 36% to 22%

This data all supports the better news of a slow down of numbers within NW hospitals in past 2 weeks.

A vaccine is to stop you getting it and nothing to do with how badly you get it

I do however think people need to be prepare themselves that it wont be for a while and it wont stop everyone getting ill
 
It wasn’t 563 and hasn’t been that high since May 1st. I know the numbers are pretty horrific but they are ‘reported’ not actual. Look at the graph and you’ll see we never had a day over 1000 deaths but that number is oft reported.

As with most things in life, some context is usually worthwhile. In November, December and January we usually have about 180000 deaths in the UK, over half of them are over 75 years of age and many of them die from a respiratory ailment. That’s just under 2000 per day. Many of the people in the daily Covid update would, of course, have been in the figures for this year if we reported daily deaths and there was no Covid.

You must be getting bored having to continually put this out there... some just aren’t listening...
 
Sadly, N Ireland showing what may happen to Wales coming out of their strict lockdown.

Like in Scotland the fall in cases that was most spectacular here now seems to have plateaued at best and the 7 day rolling total rose again for second time this week after going down every day for over 2 weeks during the circuit breaker.

Deaths 11

Cases 607

7 day rolling total 3880 (up from 3835 yesterday)

The age ranges of these cases are:

0 - 19 (450), 20 - 39 (1307), 40 - 59 (1192), 60 - 79 (605). 80 + (325)

Patients 443 - up 8 on yesterday

Ventilated 34 - up 4 on yesterday

Care homes with outbreaks 147 - up 3 on yesterday. THE big reason for the deaths here sadly.
 
Secondary pupils have UK's highest rates of positive tests

There is a higher percentage of secondary school pupils testing positive for Covid-19 than any other age group, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics.

Based on a national survey, the ONS said an estimated 1.65% of Year 7 to Year 11 students tested positive on 6 November, compared to 1.05% for primary pupils.

It comes as the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) examined more than a thousand outbreaks of coronavirus that have occurred since schools reopened in September.

Reopening schools means children aged between 12 and 16 played a "significantly higher role" in spreading infections in households, the scientific advisors said.
 
N Ireland 3 wks ago v 2 wks v last wk v today

Deaths 5 v 9 v 8 v 11 today

Cases 1252 v 566 v 595 v 607 today

Rolling 7 day total 6893 v 5424 v 4160 v 3880 today

Patients 296 v 354 v 407 v 443 today the clear decrease is flattening out here too

Ventilators 25 v 38 v 39 v 34 today - this is a slow then fall but a lot of older people are dying and that has to be a factor.

Fuck me, wasn’t rocket science that it was going to happen was it.
 
England 246 hospital deaths details:

12 Nov adds 51 = 51 after 1 day (Was 40 added last week)

11 Nov adds 118 = 157 after 2 days (Was 113 added last week) This is only 5 more than the 2 day total last wk.

10 Nov adds 36 = 227 after 3 days. (Was 33 added last week). Third successive 3 day total over 200.

9 Nov adds 13 = 274 after 4 days. (Was 9 added last week). 274 is the highest number after 4 days since 29 April - another day further back towards the wave 1 peak of deaths around 8/9/10 April, Also the highest number of England hospital deaths for one day since 2 May.

8 Nov adds 9 = 238 after 5 days, (Was 9 added last wk and that total was 206).

Other adds ons were between 18 Oct and 7 Nov with 7 Nov rising to 258 deaths. And the others going up mostly by 1 or 2.
 
Its not a matter of being miserable its a matter of reality. Very few people in the trial even in the placebo group got severe covid therefore it is difficult to tell how successful the vaccine will be against this. Anyway the authorities have said even with vaccine masks and social distancing will continue. I think there will be a series of lockdowns early next year and if the vaccine is not as successful as hoped there may be lockdowns towards the end of next year too
 
why do you keep comparing it to other illnesses like that matters ? It is a highly infectious illness we have no immunity to, a pandemic , well x number died of other things is again not relevant , tell me why deaths are reported and not actual
You can’t use the phrase ‘lag effect’ to make one point and then ignore it in the hope of making another. There is a lag between deaths happening and deaths being reported, just like there is with ‘case’ numbers as they are not what happened today but a combination of the last 5 days.
Also, out of interest, why is a Covid death more important than any other?
 
So the deaths today without the out of hospitals for England to be added as usual later = 342. (It was 411 yesterday)

Last week the total was 270. That became 355 all settings after the extra deaths from England were added.
 
The three nations cases total (with England to come) today is 2761.

Over past weeks this has been 3212 v 3584 v 3019 so yes a fall to 2761 but not a spectacular drop after the efforts of all the 3 nation regional measures.

We can say for sure though that if cases are up anywhere near the 33,000 like yesterday that the cause of this is England and not the other three nations - which have at least plateaued their cases.
 
Also, out of interest, why is a Covid death more important than any other?
In the context of a pandemic, when looking at the severity of conditions, and discussing preventative measures....

Heads out of arses people.

The data we get is both out of date and the latest available.
