One outbreak can really distort the general picture when they start to get to low levels. This would go relatively unoticed a few weeks ago but now can cause a spike in figures that mask the general picture..Total cases today from the three nations with England to come is 1442
Last 5 weeks:
3056 v 2186 v 1960 v 1611 v 1442 Today
So, yes, still a fall but now really slowly as is inevitable when you get this low.
Primary Schools? Not according to Chris Whitty. Clearly stated that younger children (primary school age) transmit the virus least. Cases down at 10000 with schools at 50% attendance. Of course cases could go up and that’s why it’s schools first before anything else. Kids have missed long enough. No evidence to support doubling of cases overnight at all from primary schools.None.Still dangerous considering where most infections are at the moment:
- Primary Schools
- Work
- Multigenerational households.
There's an obvious common denominator there.
Returning all kids to Primary School at the moment will double cases overnight
It's still 10% down, same as 2 weeks ago (about 14% last week), you have to remember that as the number gets smaller, so does the 10%, so next week will be ~1300 if it continues at 10%.Total cases today from the three nations with England to come is 1442

Yes one of the factors that mean you find it harder to fall the lower you are. A problem boroughs like Trafford in GM now have.One outbreak can really distort the general picture when they start to get to low levels.

Official Scottish Prison Service (SPS) statistics showed the number of virus cases increased from 189 to 364.
The spike has been driven by a major outbreak at HMP Kilmarnock, where 247 positive cases have now been recorded.
It’s a shame the cases are still above 10k and a sad loss of 445 lives.445 all settings deaths
10, 406 cases.
So the dowward trend is still evident but vaccinations slowing
Agree with this (Only the bit about stimulus cash)Another point I’ve not seen discussed is that each household should’ve been given stimulus cheques, like the States, boosting the economy. So much money has been wasted, I say wasted but really lining the pockets of friends, which the tax payer will suffer for. Best roadmap is Johnson out and Jeremy Hunt in.
It was predicted to slow this week and next with Pfizer down for a couple of weeks Hopefully gets back up to speed when expected after next week.So the dowward trend is still evident but vaccinations slowing
I’m not a teacher but I do think the government should swerve away from this as much as they can.Question to teachers or partners of teachers .What are the teachers union views on get teachers vaccinated before they go back to work ? Surely they should be pushing the government hard for this to happen
Any vunerable or elderly teacher will have had an opportunity for the vaccine by 8th MarchQuestion to teachers or partners of teachers .What are the teachers union views on get teachers vaccinated before they go back to work ? Surely they should be pushing the government hard for this to happen

About 1.3m less than last 7 days compared to the previous 7 unfortunately.not seen that. How many this week?
Think we are still hitting over 2 mill this week though which was the original target, if this week and next they drop to 2 mill and then get back to 3 mill / week in March and kick up from that through spring it's no major issue.About 800,000 less than last week unfortunately.
Sitting with someone in the garden after 11 months of restrictions and fuck ups back and forth isn’t a small victory to meThe vulnerable being vaccinated doesn’t stop cases amongst the under 60s where most of the spread occurs though. So until we are down that road, probably August ish then restrictions will be lifted with caution.
Not sure what you were expecting. Be thankfull for small victories like sitting in the garden or a park with friends and family.
Or be grateful those that need to can visit and hold the hands of loved ones in a care home.
We all want to get back to normal but also none of us want to end up ever needing a full lockdown to be needed again.
2.6m in the last full 7 days, but it includes over 1/2 million last Saturday, whereas Friday (yesterday) was only 372k and lower than the previous 2 days, when in all recent weeks Saturday is the highest of the week.Think we are still hitting over 2 mill this week though which was the original target
