Other watch areas today:

Merseyside:


Liverpool 699 -up from 696. It has levelled off around 700 for past week or so. Pop Score up 140 - double anywhere in GM today - to 7580. Now 117 ahead of Manchester even though it had a bad day today too but had a pop rise half of this.

Wirral 330 - down from 409. Pop score up 102 to 5717.

Knowsley 278 - up from 243 - this just keeps going up sadly It was one tenth of this before Christmas. Pop score up 185 today - most anywhere I think- - to 8613. Well above anywhere in GM.
 
Other notable numbers today:

Birmingham had one of the highest daily numbers I have ever seen today - 1703 cases. On its own.

It is the biggest borough in the UK and has been over 1000 a day since Christmas. But even so that is a giant number.

Its Pop score rose by 149. Highest I have ever seen with the city. Yet lower than Knowsley for one sixth of the cases. Shows the importance of the Pop Score to judge really how good or bad the numbers are.

At 72 770 cases Birmingham is by far the highest scorer in the UK across the pandemic.

I am sure some journalist is already writing....Manchester City infect 1703 Brummies in the city by cruelly exposing the heroic team who braved the Covid infected Etihad stadium for an FA cup tie.
 
I like a Friday poser, but your movie teaser is going to kill me all weekend, Healdplace. Possibly forever. I won't post my guesses.

Very quiet here tonight traffic wise. Much improved on recent days.
In good health tonight, calm, and full of belief in the love the ordinary Brit can summon for their countrymen.

I hope it is the same for the rest of you.
 
Other watch areas:

Blackburn had a relatively better day at 165 cases with its Pop rising 110 to 9399.

Burnley with 132 cases rose its pop score by 149 to 9031.

As you see from these 9000 club scores East Lancashire and Merseyside still the main drivers of the NW scoring and not Greater Manchester which has edged up but not escalated to these levels.

But Merthyr Tydfil in Wales - though scoring much lower than it was a week or two ago - is now at 9953 and will almost certainly become the first UK location to enter the 10,000 club tomorrow

Which in essence means based on what a Pop Score is that it will have an absolute minimum of 10% of the population who have had Covid. Though it will be much higher obviously.

We infected them in the first wave by insisting we play a football match against villa in one of the worst infected borough's in London at the time (though nobody knew).

They are closing the corridor but people can still fly in, it's quite frankly ridiculous.

British citizens who wished to return should have had a time limit in doing so, then the country should have shut completely.

Fuck the airlines, lives were at risk, and I have family who work at the airport before anyone says it’s easy for me to say.

Early on in lockdown I had naively assumed they'd shut off the 'travel corridors' because it just seemed so obvious. The fact we never got a handle on this is mental and no doubt a big contributing factor to why we're in the situation we're in.

Why are cases shooting up again during lockdown? I know the lockdown is somewhat half hearted this time round but doesn't explain why numbers dropped considerably at the start of the week then risen significantly again.

Did everyone stay in first few days of Jan and then rush out again panic buying when lockdown was announced? It's the only thing I can think of.

Thanks everyone. I will try my best not to over emphasise and do what I can.

As long as I am not causing people to fall out with one another I will carry on.

But we have a tough enough time in coming weeks without being at one another in here.

So I do not want to be part of that,

really appreciated the kent/medway updates you done for me, as aside you don't need to do this area for me anymore if that makes things easier.

also, would rather your updates than someone copy/pasting Sky News 15 hours after the story breaks.
 
I think the Eu link would have made it almost impossible to shut the borders. 2.4 million Eu Nationals live and work in the UK.

However; whether people needed to go on holiday abroad in the summer and autumn is debatable. They could have stopped that but it’s the ongoing balance of health v economy. I know it’s a difficult one for the government to judge and balance the books.

I really do appreciate that offer thank you.

But I am fine. It has been nice watching things slowly improve there.

When you are completely out of the woods there I might suggest it but happy to carry on for now.

It has mostly just been two lots of data in one day today.

Having an early night and only one set of weekend numbers tomorrow so it will be eaaier.

Hopefully!

Give a deadline early and shut the place.

I know that might have meant mass travel at once but that happened in the summer when things picked up anyway.

I have already explained to Kaz when she said this same thing last week that these are HEADLINES so people looking for specific cases or places can spot them in a thread that is faster than ever and easy to miss from a quick scan.

You see how many are missing posts and asking the same question.

Capitals are used to distinguish categories within my posts as all lower case with tons of data in large posts not being separated out would be very hard to read.

Indeed I think Kaz keeps saying she cannot read them.

Tbh I am getting pretty stressed out in this thread these days.

Maybe it really does need to be a separate data thread where headlines are allowed. And leave this thread to chatter not data.

As I said I am OK with that if a mod wants to create one. But will not do it myself. Just PM me and let me know if you think it is for the best.

There are pages and pages of the same font and case, and even your posts have a lot of info, and your HEADLINES catch my eye on a page and make your posts easier to find and read.

It’s only the same as many books, articles and newspaper columns where all their headlines, chapter titles, headings and subheadings are in UPPER CASE.

Keep it up pal.

It’s the biggest single early cause for where we are with death numbers. At the start of each rise, being an island where closing borders is fucking piss easy compared to countries that have multiple borders with other countries and many roads in and out to other countries, we should have immediately closed our borders.

It’s a big reason why Aus and NZ have had such an easy ride.
