England hospital data:

Yet more good news

The BBC will be days late again - they reported on the 10 o'clock news nearly 2000 more than the number I posted here this time yesterday as 'the latest figures' which they were not.

And nobody noticed we went below 30,000 patients in the UK yesterday. Though we did\

We are well under now.

England as of today 24, 402 in hospital - down 932 in 24 hours and down 4957 on last Friday when it was 29, 359.

3974 in the other three nations so UK total is 28, 376.

The BBC as our national broadcaster aren't very good.

You'll definitely get 2 on Sunday and Monday, these headline figures do that every week.

The number to look at is "date by death", not this media headline number, the 28th Jan was the last day over 1000, unless there are some late addons, but for the 29th to exceed 1000, it will take 37 addons, so I would think it unlikely.

You're right about those dates obviously - I wonder if it's reported as it is as it's simpler, and keeps minds fixated on a single falling number.
I don't think telling people the peak was over a week ago would help matters, but instead would cause more agitation.

It's noticeable that the BBC describe it correctly as reported deaths.

Excellent news, I wonder why this is reported so poorly ? Is it to purely to try and offset optimism/non compliance ?

Is it another two weeks before the protection kicks in?

It kicks in slowly, but they suggest 3 weeks before your first house party ;-)

 

[M18CTID]

In the past seven days there have been 31,775 second doses and 3,079,863 first doses given out - total number 3,111,638. A staggering effort IMO.

Incredible. It wasn’t that long ago that we were hoping for 2 million a week.

I think the bbc just enjoy giving the most pessimistic news possible, they'll barely reference the Sunday and Monday totals, then headline Tuesdays, when it doubles from Monday.

Great news. What age group are you in mate?

I'm only 54 but I've got underlying health problems,
got a text from my GPs with my invitation and a link that took me to an appointment page, there was only 3 appointments left.

I'd not noticed a difference, but as much as anything that's because I haven't paid attention!
