Coronavirus (2021) thread

[johnnytapia]

I agree and economics is not my thing so I am not going to worry about how we do versus anybody really. Just how WE do period so people still have livelihoods and jobs and some kind of normality - even though working might indeed change radically

I suspect we will give lots of contracts to UK companies to rebuild infrastructure - as we see with what look like daft plans to build a bridge between Scotland and Ireland or a tunnel with a roundabout underneath the Isle of Man.

It might be a big day for all those who ever came up with crackpot plans if someone thinks they will boost jobs and the economy.

But that will be for 2022.

We have to get through 2021 first. And if todays rumours are true that over 60s will be getting a THIRD jab in August to deal with variants a lot of vaccinating still to do.

At this rate by the autumn my arm will be more like a pin cushion.

We could ramp up social housing. Then sell it.

Face coverings by themselves are a lifeless object, right up to the point you breath on them, which is why they came with a warning to use them for 20 minutes maximum, you mat have noticed the advertising on the washable ones that has come out?

Operating theatre teams wear masks for hours at a time.
Masks can become less efficient if they become damp. If you keep a damp one and don't wash it it could become mouldy it can never grow Covid, flu or any other human virus.

I've spent the day zonked out after 1st AZ yesterday.

I had mine yesterday, had no side effects at all.

I don't think this has anything to do with politics.

Adverse events reported => recall batch used, consider risk/benefit of continuing wider programme is a perfectly normal response.

Different juristictions take different views on risk/benefit.

Or do the Democratic Republic of Congo have a political beef with AZ - they've postponed starting their programme?

I mean, I don't necessarily agree it's sensible, after all I had my AZ jab yesterday, but I don't think it's political.

I agree - this is standards committees using their own guidelines. Nothing political about it.

GM scoreboard:


302 - down 154 from 456 - 48.4 % of the NW total of 624 - down 247 . GM % down 4.0%

Lowest GM score since August.

Wk to wk: 968 v 807 v 578 v 516 v 373 v 302 today. Week to week going down to one third of 5 weeks ago.



Manchester 75 - down from 89. Pop score up 13 to 9190. Weekly cases 518 . Weekly Pop up 3 to 94.

Rochdale 41 - down from 45. Pop score up 18 to 9157. Weekly cases 282. Weekly Pop up 1to 126.

Wigan 32- down from 58. Pop score up 10 to 8488. Weekly cases 329. Weekly Pop Pop down 2 to 100.

Salford 32 - down from 46. Pop score up 12 to 8606. Weekly cases 296. Weekly Pop down 3 to 114.

Tameside 18 - down from 56. Pop score up 8 to 7699. Big fall from yesterday. Weekly cases 258. Weekly Pop down 8 to 114.

Bury 16 - down from 17. Pop score up 8 to 8720. The fourth borough to have a Pop Score of 8 today - a new low for all of them in months. But not enough to be top dog today! Weekly cases 145. Still lowest score and lowest in GM since last Summer. Weekly Pop down 5 to 76.

Trafford 9 down from 22. Pop score up 4 to 6712. The empire strikes back. Bury are crushed by light sabre to stay off top spot on their best day in ages. Stockport with their best in months still lose 4 more points to Trafford who have the first single figure total in GM for 6 months. Weekly cases 164 - no longer the lowest in GM but closes the gap on Bury today. Weekly Pop down 4 to 70. Back on track.

Best news of all HALF of the ten GM Boroughs have a single figure Pop Score rise for the first time since last Summer.

Weekly Pop - Borough / Today / Seven days ago / Up/down by Lowest score is best - going down good/up bad

I add the Pop score across the entire pandemic too at the end per 100. This is essentially the percentage of the population in the borough who have tested positive and been recorded. So the minimum immunity acquired that way - if indeed any lasts up to a year by that route. Unrecorded cases, asymptomatic and, of course, vaccinated immunity are all on top of this base number locally.


Rochdale 126 / 121 / UP 5 Testing positive 9.2%

Tameside 114 / 104 / UP 10 Testing positive 7.7%

Salford 114 / 99 UP 15 Testing positive 8.6%

Oldham 100 / 89 / UP 11 Testing positive 9.3%

Wigan 100 / 97 / UP 3 Testing positive 8.5%

Bolton 96 / 109 / down 13 Testing positive 8.6%

Manchester 94 / 89 / UP 5 Testing positive 9.2%

Stockport 92 / 90 / UP 2 Testing positive 6.8%

Bury 76/ 92/ down 16 Testing positive 8.7%

Trafford 70 / 61 / UP 9 Testing positive 6.7%



Eight boroughs going up now week to week but today was a better day.
