GM Weekly Pop Data after today:~

Borough / Pop Today / 7 days ago / up or down wk to wk/ Testing is % of local population who have tested positive for Covid over past year.

As ever with Pop going up is bad, going down good - the higher the number the better or worse depending on direction moving. The Pop is total cases in past week versus 100,000 POPulation to even out the comparison versus size and expected cases based on numbers living there.



Oldham 631 / 564 / UP 67 Testing positive 11.9%

Rochdale 595 / 493 / UP 102 Testing positive 11.8%

Trafford 553 / 455 / UP 98 Testing positive 9.1%

Wigan 548 / 520 / UP 28 Testing positive 11.2%

Salford 542 / 518 / UP 24 Testing positive 11.6%

Manchester 500 / 543 / DOWN 43 Testing positive 12.3%

Tameside 479 / / 415 / UP 64 Testing positive 9.9%

Stockport 402 / 354 / UP 48 Testing positive 8.9%

Bury 387 / 405 / DOWN 18 Testing positive 11.2%

Bolton 332 / 304 / UP 28 Testing positive 12.2%



Oldham way up top now.

With Rochdale second spot with its neighbour after some big case numbers of late.

Wigan, Salford and Trafford all up in the 500s now after some big recent numbers. With Trafford's awful rub taking it up to third. It is much more used to being down the other end of this table.

Manchester back there too - just - though falling wk to wk.

Pop Scores - remember - take population of the borough into account so Manchester being so big is expected to have far more cases than Rochdale or Oldham which is why their numbers are lower in total but much worse in reality

Bury pulling clear of Stockport who crashed into the 400s, Cannot recall the last time Stockport was over 400. If ever.




Stockport did gain another 15 on its overall Pop Score to now be 191 ahead of Trafford - about the margin they were in the reverse positions a month ago before Trafford spiked.

Stockport up 59 now on 8910 but Trafford up by 74 - to reach 9101.

Stockport as the sole occupant of the 8000 club. Though only for a couple of days.

Bolton up 40 to 12, 208. The lowest Pop Score rise today ahead of Bury.

Oldham up by 76 to 11, 924.

Manchester up 60 - now on 12, 272 .

Rochdale up 78 - most today - now on 11, 831.

Salford rose by 74 to 11, 571.

Bury up 47 to 11, 219 Next best today behind Bolton.

Wigan up by 67 to 11, 213.


So just Stockport now in the VERY UPPER 8000s - and Trafford and Tameside a rung above in the 9K club with Tameside up 58 - up to 9935. May make the 10 K club tomorrow, if not it will be Tuesday,

Stockport will not be sole occupant of the 8 K club for long but is a bad day away from reaching the 9K club too. Or two OK days.

Full GM details


Total cases 1770 - DOWN 255 on Yesterday - from NW FALL of 527

A bit over the expected par (42%) of 227.


Wk to wk UP 44 when the NW ROSE by 242 - a much smaller increase than par rise (42%) of 102.


Both numbers better for GM than rest of NW so very good day.



BOROUGH / CASES TODAY / V YESTERDAY / V LAST WEEK



BOLTON 114 / DOWN 36 / DOWN 3

BURY 89 / DOWN 39/ DOWN 7

MANCHESTER 329 / DOWN 106 / DOWN 65

OLDHAM 181 / DOWN 15 / DOWN 9

ROCHDALE 174 / DOWN 29 / UP 21

TAMESIDE 131 / UP 10 / UP 22

TRAFFORD 174 / UP 13 / UP 47

WIGAN 216 / DOWN 29 / LEVEL



Bury down under 100 and surging forward well clear of Stockport and chasing Bolton now for best in GM.

Tameside and Trafford up day to day and week to week. Stockport not so good again either and almost joined them but still extended by another 15 their lead over Trafford for best overall Pop Score.

Generally a pretty good day in GM.

Bury still a bit up and down at the moment, if they post 3 or 4 days under a hundred then it will begin to look a lot better.

Are the % just eligible adults or total population?

 

[BlueAnorak]

26 all settings deaths - that is 25 in England too - well up on last week's 15.

31, 772 cases - a little down on yesterday. As in by 595.

England actually down 1311 to 28, 421.

Still 97 less then the average daily toll (113) in an average flu season Jan-Mar

 

[Healdplace]

Are the % just eligible adults or total population?

It is the % of adults aged 18 and over is how I interptret what Gov UK say:-

QUOTE

Total percentage of people aged 18 and over who have received a COVID-19 vaccination, shown by date reported. Daily figures include all vaccines that were given up to and including the date shown, and that were entered on the relevant system at the time of extract. Percentages lower than 0.1 will not appear.

Unfortunately my wife’s grandad has just passed away this evening from this horrible virus. Huge hope at the start of the week as he was getting better, then a sudden drop to very low oxygen levels in the past couple of days

So heartbreaking as they had been locked up for nearly 18 months, and went out for the first time the other weekend to celebrate his birthday and picked it up from there.

That's bloody awful news so so sad..heartbreaking..I'm afraid this will happen to more families

Jees that's heartbreaking. Sorry to hear that.

 

[RayCTID]

That is horrible news mcfc_ms sorry for your loss.

 

[mcfc_ms]

thanks guys. Unfortunately I can see the same thing happening to a lot of families soon

 

[hammocity]

thanks guys. Unfortunately I can see the same thing happening to a lot of families soon

Did he have any underlying issues? I take it he'd had the vaccine as well. My Uncle passed away yesterday, totally expected, had been so ill he couldn't attend my Auntie's (his wife) funeral a few weeks ago, however still upsetting but unlike your wife's grandad he didn't have a life to look forward to. We can handle most things in life but the death of a loved one is the most difficult thing to deal with, sorry for your loss.

OK team - I can't believe I'm having to ask this question but the guidence is so shite so here we go. I am isolating due to my partners son testing -ve on Saturday symptoms late Thursday, test Friday, result Saturday. My partner (double jabbed like myself) has tested +ve Sunday for symptoms on Sunday morning while I tested -ve. Does my isolation clock reset on Sunday after my partners +ve test. Or does it remain at the point of her sons test?
Please point to guidence.
I got my infection early warning on Saturday night (ye olde chicken pox scar in lung is uncomfortable - its a long story) but on Sunday when I was tested I was fine and I am fine today. It is pretty obvious that my immune system kicked in and wiped any infection out.
The following advice seems to indicate I only have to isolate from Day 1 unless I get symptoms or a positive test. But is this right? Advice to my partner would suggest otherwise.

My mate is isolating after returning from Spain last Thursday, he's had a call from track and trace every day. This morning his partner got a knock on the door at 8:30, she answered and there was 2 people there from the Home Office, she politely told them to go away, they've both had a test the day before they returned home and one last Friday, both double jabbed and both had Covid so it's pretty unlikely they would be positive. However it's deemed safe enough for 60k people to sit together at a football match, all a bit much now, we either crack on (with masks in public places imho) or bring back more severe restrictions, we can't have this level of dichotomy.

It resets with the most recent positive test

It resets with the most recent positive test

Guidence proof please. The NHS guidence is pretty clear as to isolation being tied to the first person in the house, but it clashes with the guidence given to my partner that doesn't mention anything about people already isolating.

sorry for your loss too Hammocity

He was 93 so it was expected to come at some point. He had a few health issues starting to crop up due to his age, but he was absolutely fine when we last saw him 2 weeks ago. He went downhill so fast it’s sad to see, he was relying fully on the oxygen so the hospital allowed his wife and kids to visit one last time, which was nice. Kind of glad it happened sooner rather than later to avoid him suffering for any longer.

Glad he didn't suffer too much, as I said the death of a loved one it's something we know will happen but when it does we are not equipped to handle it, condolences to your family, cheers.

Yeah a fraction of the amount of deaths we’d normally have. People die everyday unfortunately, some from infectious diseases that are relatively harmless to the vast majority of the population (like COVID). Vaccines have worked, the link between infections and deaths is broke, it’s over. People who want this to continue are cult like in their demands and wishing for restrictions to continue. Does my head in. How many of them deaths were down solely to COVID? Very few I imagine.

In the UK. so far, 152,725 died of COVID. not with COVID, but of it, noted on there death certificate as main cause of death.
