Thank you. Much appreciated. I will likely still be around checking from time to time on City news as I was for some years before Covid. Just do not post on that subject as I have no real expertise. Not that I had any with Covid either. I just stumbled into it really when Gelson's Dad...

For the first time since before Christmas all ten Greater Manchester boroughs reported fewer than 100 cases today. Manchester on 99 the most. North West also sub 2000 on 1998 for the first time too, Not going to report more from here on unless something big changes. Or someone asks a question...

Just to warn not to panic if the media report the Gov UK England death number today as 624. In reality that is very misleading and they might not spot why on the news. Just that on its own it is the highest number posted since February 2021 and they usually like a scare. In truth only 211 were...

As you can see Zoe app is showing a steady fall now too. And it is steeper than last week. But still at ahigher prevalence than at any point in the pandemic but the past few weeks. Predcted new daily cases 227,702 - down 10K on yesterday. Ongoing symptomatic cases 3,827,489 V 4,606,743 on 4...

As the thread is reopened I will post an update from over the long bank holiday. England hospital patients is the best news. Fell today by 443 to 14,164. This is V 14,955 the day before Easter. So overall numbers fell and week to week down from 15,399 last Wednesday. East and London rose but...

Will post a summary today as there will be no data updates from almost everywhere now until Tuesday next week. Things are still looking good. Deaths appear to have just about peaked slightly below the level we had in the first Omicron variant wave in late January. England Cases are still...

However there is VERY good news from England hospital data. Patients have the biggest fall today in weeks. Down 732 in the last 24 hours to 15,399. This is V 16,587 last Wednesday - when numbers were UP by 35 This is a week to week FALL of 1188. Last Wednesday there was a week to week RISE...

As you are here- It looks like hospital patients are now clearly falling. England down today 311 to 16,131 V 16,552 last Tuesday (which was then a rise on the day of 86) Down 421 on the week - biggest drop since the second Omicron variant arrived. Only MIdlands - which had the most deaths...

Last post for a few days unless anything big changes. Here s today's Zoe App Graph. As you can see it is falling but quite slowly and not as fast as it rose. In fact the rate of fall is actually slower than a few days ago. Preducted cases today on 286,794 down just 3051 - the third day running...

Just for those in Greater Manchester here is the current state of the ten boroughs by Pop Score (cases evened out V POPulation) Not done this for a few weeks so worth a catch up now cases are falling. Higher the more Covid there is locally - Lower the better Borough Today V Last Monday...

England hospital data over the weekend: Admissions (48 hours behind as always - so THU / FRI / SAT) 1999 / 1751 / 1702 V 2124 / 1846 / 1826 So down every day on last week as you can see. Midlands still the most admitted. Patients - FRI / SAT / SUN / TODAY 16,366 / 15, 876 / 16.039 /...

What he possibly meant is that Covid took the most lives in the old and vulnerable - especially before we had any real defences. But our actions (hand washing, masks, isolating at signs of infection etc) also suppressed other things that would possibly have triggered underlying conditions such...

I should add Greater Manchester is like other parts of the NW up on other regions. But is falling week to week quite notably. 1251 today V 2505 last Friday - out of 4029 cases in the North West today V 7453 last Friday Salford today had 124 V 241 last Friday. Wigan 136 V 278 last Friday Those...

Why confusing? As I said above the North West is the only region with patients still rising but less than they were a few days ago. Modestly and so will likely be falling next week. The southern regions rose first, have peaked and are falling. More falling than rising so the overall trend is...

Just to update the TV news bulletins today that is only focusing on the Friday ONS survey of prevalence which is the most accurate BUT which tells you where we were a week ago remember. Not now. Here is where we are now. Cases definitely falling even with the fewer tests. Only deaths still...
