I will try to post more briefly from now on.

I do have a tendency to write 'conversationally'. Its been said to me often. So I am not offended by it being said here.

But I was not commenting personally on Kaz. Her post just happened to be the most recent reference to media presentation of data. I can see there is more than one perspective on that.

Apologies if it came over differently.

Seems to me that she has an issue with your stats being what people look out for on the thread and not being the main contributor. Noticed this more and more. Don't let her put you off posting your data and opinion as Karen is always the first to offer hers.

Nothing to do with that , i am not the one sulking because they dont like stats from other sources , i literally cant take in a lot of numbers as i have brain damage, i can take in simp!e graphs and actually bottom line numbers , there is room for both , there should be absolute!y no problem , it is not my problem

Dont change what you post , plenty want to read it that way and you do a good job, both ways are giving official numbers, just differently
 
Just catching up with the Scottish figures today and your post Healdplace. 717 would be a drop from last week's 912. A big drop and can understand why it'd be looked into or taken with caution, but maybe not *so* big to allow for some optimism that it may actually turn out accurate enough? Do you happen to know if she elaborated much further or just simply said they'll look into it?

If the figure is right it's great news, and it's not like the figure of 300 odd the other week where it was obviously a result of issues. Fingers crossed but right to treat it with caution meantime.

Please don’t. Yours are the only stats that make any sense to me.

Thank you. And I DO like stats from other sources. Not sure why you would think I don't. I always look at them.

But I am not a source. Everything I post here is from somewhere else and I just collate and re-post that data.

Literally anyone on here could access it and do the same just like I do. It is neither clever nor difficult or some kind of kick for me to be doing it. It is actually time consuming.

I only started to do it as Gelson's Dad - who did once post some of it months ago - stopped doing so and I came here to read that information myself as it was easy access to it.

I would be very happy if someone else wanted to do this instead. I just do because I have the time to do so and it gives me some small sense of contributing by doing it. At my age that matters more than I realised it would when I was younger.
 
Wales 3 wks ago v 2 wks v last wk v today

Deaths 6 v 3 v 8 v 2 today Looks hopeful, though Sunday data.

Cases 1158 v 762 v 931 v 892 today

Patients 616 v 762 v 945 v 1060 (Friday)

Ventilators 56 v 57 v 66 v 67 (Friday)
 
England hospital deaths today are 190 with 45 from the NW. Last week it was 167 with 36 NW.

This is Sunday data so there will be a bigger rise tomorrow and Wednesday which are always the highest numbers of the week as weekend data catches up upon registration today of deaths from the past few days.
 
England deaths 3 wks ago v 2 wks v last wk v today

91 / 29 NW v 118 / 29 NW v 167 / 36 NW v 190 / 45 NW today

NW = 32% v 25% v 22% v 24% Bit of an uptick today in NW but only small and numbers will vary day to day.

I saw a headline that Germany is considering distributing high filter masks to the most vulnerable.

I hate wearing a mask but nevertheless if it offers some protection forget about the social effects if it reduces transmission. Any debate there was about herd immunity is over now. We just slow the spread as much as possible and hope the vaccines come through asap.

they must be putting some weight behind the reports that the masks can help reduce viral load.
 
Other regions today in the 190 England hospital deaths: Yorkshire 61, Midlands 37 and 25 from the South East (increasing numbers here).

Age groups 1 aged 20 - 39, 4 aged 40 - 59, 70 aged 60 - 79, 115 - 80 plus

NW deaths by hospital regions 11 in Wigan, 8 in Liverpool, 7 in Stockport, 7 in Warrington, 3 each Blackpool, Chester & Cheshire, Morecambe and in Lancashire.

Manchester and Salford tend to report least on Sundays.
 
Northern Ireland data:

14 deaths - 10 in hospital - 4 elsewhere. 7 F / 7 M of which 8 aged 60 - 79, 6 aged 80 +

331 cases - quite a contrast - high deaths, lowest cases in weeks.

7 day weekly case number down to 3831.

Age ranges of these 3831:

0 - 19 (509). 20 - 39 (1267), 40 - 59 (1199), 60 - 79 (563) 80 + (293) - sub 300 for first time in weeks.

The % positive of todays cases was cited too - at 17.4% as it was apparently the lowest in a while.

154 care home outbreaks (was 139 last week)

427 in hospital (up 5)

37 on ventilators (down 2).
 
Dear patient, we are sure you are aware that nationally GP practices have been asked to undertake the task of delivering the Covid vaccine. Whilst plans are still in the early stage of development it would be beneficial and aid our planning if we had an idea on the potential uptake of the vaccine. Therefore we would be very grateful if you could please reply to this message with YES if you would consider having the vaccine and NO if you would not. Many thanks, XXXX.
