New record test numbers however.

1, 535, 487 pillar 1 & 2.

Up 174, 000 on yesterday.

So the positivity is likely to have fallen day to day.

6753 cases - first week to week rise unfortunately. By 180.

Up 827 on yesterday.

Highest number since 27 February.

All that rise in England day to day. 881 up on yesterday here.

We need to accept that there will be an inevitable rise in cases as we unlock and test more. The real currency is now deaths and hospital admissions which will take time to filter through and analyse but at least deaths are down 25% again week to week. Hence I can live with the slow release and 5 week gaps

Do we think the Zoe app may be less useful now as schoolkids who are being tested in huge volumes are unlikely to use the app?

Watch the media pounce on that tiny rise tonight, without giving context of 1.5 million tests or finding out current hospitalisation numbers.

Would not surprise me. }

As I noted above the positivity is actually better than yesterday. They will not even notice or know what that means.

This is the problem i have with this Vaccine.

I am not anti-vaccination, in fact i am all for them if they are safe.

I am not convinced they are safe though.

It is alright saying ,don't blow it out of proportion. That highly likely you will be okay.

What if i am an unlucky fucker and i am not ?

I suffer from all sorts of allergies, I already have a compromised immune system from having Glandular Fever, as well as a couple of patches of Psoriasis.

I have legitimate concerns the vaccination might kill me.

This is why i am waiting out for a while yet.

Not because i am being a selfish fucker .I am waiting it out to see how people with my sort of conditions do over the next few months.

Seems like common sense to me.

I’ve had glandular fever and psoriasis on and off. I also had a bad reaction to the tetanus vaccine.

I’ve had the AZ vaccine and am fine.

I think it will only ever be a guide. It has never really been very accurate even before this week.

But yes school testing will now bump numbers up without question.

And yes hospital data is all that really matters. Why I focus on it each evening and seek the up to date numbers the media do not give.

Look at N Ireland - cases rise today seems the headline - but is not - patient numbers and ventilator numbers tumble again is.

Cases only are more than a statistic if they end up in hospital. Which if these are children testing positive almost none ever will.

A lot of those tests were the inaccurate positive flow tests carried out on school children I assume. So could many be false negatives??

Unfortunately the NW has the biggest rise today - though everyone is up.

By 283 to 1053 - easily the most and the highest score by any region in two weeks.

Greater Manchester will see a lot of rises today I suspect.
