My 7 year old son tested positive last night. He felt a bit off yesterday and his whole class was sent home on Monday after a positive test. Hes feeling better today but his mum(my ex) tested negative but is feeling unwell today.

Ive just had to go to a walk in centre to get tested. Im feeling fine but my lad last stayed with me on Saturday night so I have to sell isolate

You quoted me saying "ever" when this wasn't the case. It hasn't the same meaning at all.

I said that cases are as low as they have been, which is correct. You intentionally putting an erroneous "ever" in the quote you typed.

Honestly, I wasn't intentionally trying to do anything, there's a typo in your sentence and I thought that was your meaning. Very happy to apologise for misinterpreting.

What does "cases are as low as they have been" mean?

On Bolton...

1. The local vaccination drive may well have made a significant difference. Perhaps @Healdplace can tell us the increase in vaccination % since the campaign started?
2. Reduction in surge testing may have had an impact - but I've no idea what testing levels there have been in Bolton - however nationally this can't possibly be the driver as positive tests have risen 10x since their minimum.
3. People changing their behaviour voluntarily may have had a significant impact given the huge level of publicity. That could also explain the "plateau" currently seen as people have relaxed again.
4. Numbers of pupils taken out of school for bubbles may have impacted as cases rose.

And of course, there may just be other things going on that we don't know about or understand.

As explained yesterday my old computer broke and I am getting to grips with a new one slowing me down a lot for now,

The data can be tracked by searching above at around 6 pm each day where I post the data for all ten boroughs. My recall is Bolton moved fast in May but soon came down to normal levels.

It is well above Manchester - more than it was. But then who isn't as Manchester numbers are dire,

So it made a difference in the early days it seems. But since then numbers are not really budging downward.
 
Wales data:

0 deaths - was 0 last week

481 cases - was 438 last week

3.5% positivity - was 2.8% last week

Is this not the stupidity of some of the rules though? 20k Scotland fans with no testing travelling to London is surely more dangerous than 20k city fans travelling to Porto all with negative tests and lots needed another test whilst over there. Outbreaks all over Scotland now, whereas the Northern Region of Portugal didn't see any explosion of cases out of sync with the rest of the country.

Scotland data:

Another new record sadly

6 deaths - was 5 last week

4234 cases - was 2999 last week

10.5% positivity - waa 7.7% last week

275 patents - up 40 in the day - was 177 last week - worrying rises here

16 ventilated icu - was 19 yesterday & 17 last week
 
England hospital deaths

12 with 4 from the NW.

Last week was 11 with 6 and previous wk 16 with 9.

Fairly encouraging news there,

The 4 in the NW were 2 in Manchester and 1 each in Chester and Liverpool

2 aged 40 - 59, 8 aged 60 - 79 and 2 aged 80 plus.

Other regions:- East 1, London 3, Midlands 1, NE & Yorkshire 2, South East 1, South West 0
 
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has now waded into the Euro 2020 row, saying the mixing of fans in host cities, travel and easing of social restrictions had driven up the number of new cases by 10%.
 
Northern Ireland data

0 deaths - was 0 last wk

326 cases - was 198 last week

13% positivity - was 6.6% last week

1970 rolling weekly cases - was 1852 yesterday & 1128 last wk

4 care home outbreaks - was 4 yesterday & 3 last week

21 patients - up 1 on day & 3 on last week

2 ventilated - was 2 yesterday & 0 last week
 
The Northern Ireland ages of the 1970 cases in past week are:


0 - 19 (727) 37.0%

20 - 39 (759) 38.6%

40 - 59 (402) 20.4%

60 - 79 (65) 3.3%

80 PLUS (15) 0.8%

The pattern is happily much the same - numbers go up as cases go u but they are sticking to the tred of the vast majority under 40 and about 1 in 25 only over 60. ~

This is why cases are not translating into deaths as they were

True enough but it could’ve been a similar situation if the CL final was held at Wembley as thousands of City fans would’ve headed down without tickets and the need for a negative test, and packed out the trains, etc. I’m not sure many of us would’ve begrudged any fellow blues heading down there in the hope of a getting lucky with a ticket and if unsuccessful, having a decent weekend on the lash instead, so we’re not really in a position to begrudge Scotland fans doing the same.

Cases aren't the scary sight they once were.

I'd also say that we're at the peak of this wave, whereas the EU is (mostly) just beginning. It's probably going to benefit us more in the long run that cases are high now, rather than going into Autumn when seasonal flu picks up.

Yep. I noticed Spain had nearly 10,000 cases yesterday. They’ve kept on top of it quite well over there since after Christmas but that figure is the highest I can recall for a good while. And as the EU countries are largely still behind us on vaccinations, it could get quite a lot worse for them if Delta gets a significant foothold across multiple nations.

This.

IF Engerland reach the Euros final they'll be lots in London without a ticket just going for the atmosphere.

good on them. Need more of that scientific ingenuity if we want any sort of economy left.

I posted it in that clever fuckers spirit more than attacking them for doing so.

This is what pisses me off with our education system. They don't encourage problem solving and critical thinking. Just want us smart enough to do shit without questioning it.
 
4234 infections in Scotland

113 in people aged 65+
729 in 45-64

1454 in people aged 25-44
1904 in people aged 0-24

Ideally I'd like to see that growth rate in the 45-64 range show some signs of slowing but on first glance it doesn't seem to be. Maybe I'm wrong.

************

6 deaths

1 aged 85+
2 aged 75-84
2 aged 65-74
1 aged 25-44

*************

16k first doses
10k second doses

***************

That 40 new patients in hospital overnight whivh healdplace reports is hugely concerning, I hope its a one off at those numbers as they are surely unsustainable for any length of time if almost 300 additional patients per week becomes the norm or worse. ICU remaining steady which is good.
