Saturday data (from Friday) 18, 262 cases from 653, 466 pillar 1 & 2 tests = 2.8% Positivity

Sunday data (from Saturday) 15, 845 cases from 436, 703 pillar 1 & 2 tests = 3.6% positivity

Today's data (from Sunday) 14, 104 cases from 569, 676 pillar 1 & 2 cases = 2.5% positivity

These are about half the real number I suspect given the numbers of different tests involved.

But I only use the pillar 1 & 2 not all tests so it compares with past measures.

We are certainly not much over 5% in the usual positivity number across the UK which is really good news as that is the level the WHO asks you to achieve to be considered to have things in control.

I was ready to like your post up until the last sentence mate. I don't think it's what they want at all, nothing like it, but we are where we are and it's best we listen to them. I do agree with the first part of your post though!

I can't help it almost a year of this life but no life with only a small respite is taking it's toll. We get told, a few weeks to flatten the curve, one more push that's all. Then the vaccine is a game changer, freedom is coming we just need to be patient a bit longer. Then we could be in restrictions until 2022, new strains are here, a government that views these new strains so seriously that just like the start of the pandemic they are still letting flights and people from those countries pour in virtually unchecked and unsupervised. I think mine and everyone else's patience is fading
 
Regional Scoreboard

Many down and a few up but by small margins.

North West down a lot.

Fell by 994 to 1631 - lowest in 45 days.

This is easily the biggest drop in the day,

Greater Manchester shared slightly more of that fall.

Falling by 409 to just 641 - the lowest GM total since Christmas.

But the whole NW fell today so the GM % of the total fell just by 0.7% to 39.3%.

This is almost exactly where you would expect GM to be as a percentage by populatuon.

Valid point about the borders open , no idea how they can keep spinning the stay at home messages if they won’t close the borders .
 
GM highlights

As you might expect with such low numbers - a big downturn by everywhere.

Almost every GM borough down by around half day to day.

Every single borough except Manchester below 100. Five boroughs below 50.

Even Manchester at 128 half this day last week At its lowest numbers since Christmas.

A lot of big Pop Score falls today.

Of course, tomorrow may be different but this is a very dramatic shift from the recent quite static level of cases in GM.

Indeed half the entire total UK fall in numbers from yesterday to today was from the NW and a quarter from GM.

I don't disagree with that at all, but I'd question why your frustration here is with Sage and not the government. Sage will be equally as frustrated.

JVT - SA virus doesn't appear to have distinct transmissibility advantage over the one in the UK; it shouldn't
catch/overtake the UK variant in the next few months.

That seems huge news.

The stories of the transmissibility of the SA virus have confused me to be honest as there has been a big drop and a very short spike down to low ish numbers in South Africa, that didn’t make a lot of sense to me.
This would be some way to explaining that.
