Because like most of the NW its cases are not escalating as they are down south.

The whole North West recently has under half the cases in London alone. Some days a third.

From memory, was this not in absolute rather than relative terms. There are close to 9,000,000 people in London. I thought the NW was c6,500,000.

That's why the regional Pop Scores matter evening out population.

London is up top. North West was a month ago. Now only Devon and Cornwall have a lower regional pop score.

Quick question

I don't have the time to trawl and manipulate data to get the answers for my area. What's the best place for up to date cases, hospital cases etc for a specific area, say by council region? Or is it a case of viewing the generic stuff that's a week behind?

Thanks

The point I was making is that you were seemingly talking in absolute terms and that your suggest of double was not not what your figures appeared to suggest. The pop rate for London has never been a third of London's. Not even close. Maybe absolute number of cases but not per head.
 
Anyone know how many have been vaccinated so far in the UK? Curious. Not really seen any stats on this and im a bit surprised.
 
All London is in Tier 3 now because they have figured that out. There are boroughs in London angry at this move but it makes sense.
As I posted earlier I currently live in tier 2 area, and I work in a tier 3 area (from tomorrow evening), and the case rate in my tier 2 area is already higher than the tier 3 area I work in (luckily I'm mostly WFH, but ironically have to go into the office for 12 hours tomorrow.

The only reason I can see that it is being moved into tier 3 tomorrow evening, is that it's closer to the larger London spikes, and very closely connected to them by public transport, but whilst my area is a little further away, it's still very well connected by public transport too (still under an hour).

I was quoting the case numbers there as the Pop number is usually running nearly a week late and if you only go off one measure you miss sudden increases. But balancing the two measures gives a better chance.

But both measures in their different ways show the rise of London and the South as the NW fell and levelled off.
 
Fascinating read this btw! Vaccines could genuinely change things drastically inside 2/3 months.


It contains this graphic which is brilliant. Screenshot 2020-12-14 at 19.06.17.png

Vaccinating just 2% of the country (over 85s) could reduce 40% of the fatality risk, and that's only 3.3m doses which we should have in Jan/Feb. That scale moves up too as you can see by the graph. Really positive and encouraging, presuming we manage to roll it out properly! Obviously it does depend on uptake too of course.

Thanks for that, whilst I regularly use the site I've never entered my postcode, so I've never found that "local" page, very useful, the heatmap is quite interesting.
