England hospital deaths 664 - not down a lot from 707 last week but a fall nonetheless and down big of course from over 1000 at the peak of deaths last month.

This is always the big weekend catch up day.

The data on over 80s though shows a fall again, which is supporting the vaccination as working.

England hospital deaths 3 wks v 2 wks v last wk v Today

1027 / 124 NW / 12%

973 / 138 NW / 14%

707 / 102 NW / 14%

664 / 89 NW / 13% Today

Better numbers for the NW especially today

one of the worst george floyd style psyops ever seen

664 England hospital deaths by region:

150 Midlands, 104 East. 92 London. 90 NE & Yorkshire, 89 North West, 79 South East, 60 South West

By age:

20 - 39 (6) 0.9%

40 - 59 (71) 10.8%

60 - 79 (271) 40.8%

80 PLUS (316) 47.5%


This is now starting to look like a real pattern.

The 80 Plus death percentage falls to another low The gap to the 60 - 79 age reduces. And the percentage of the under 60s rises again.


This is NOT because more younger people are dying. This is just that fewer older people are and so the percentage of the younger ones from a smaller number overall rises as a consequence.

All of that is what you would expect to see from the impact of the vaccination programme targeted on the over 80s first then the over 70s and so on downwards.

Early days and I wish they would offer a better data set for the over 60s - say in 5 year groups not 20 years - but nonetheless it is looking promising now.

Quite a lot of catch-up in those 664 deaths too. 74 outside the last week and quite a few larger batches in East Anglia might suggest the snow affected reporting timeliness.

Still heading the right way, anyway.

I would think the 10 days would be more of put off mate, cantbsee why anyone wants to holiday here at the moment and if it’s business people then zoom would be better

Anyone know what the bulk of travel from, say, South Africa is ?

There's no holiday travel, surely, so this is all business meetings presumably ?

Just did a quick check, as we have been planning for a couple of years to go to South Africa next January for our 25th anniversary. Hopeful that can go ahead.
Anyway in answer to your question. On BA it won't let me book April May. It will let me book June this year. So looks like they aren't flying.
