They are still saying all will be done by July. Just that they are prioritising the over 50s during the shortage next month. When they also have to do many more second jabs for the over 60s. Which they have to do first because of the 12 week time table. It is unfortunate but unless the delay lasts longer than 4 weeks should not mean the end of July schedule for all adults is lost. Just reorganised.

I think the whole thing stinks too be honest and smacks of a complete u turn, i was staggered about this tonight too be honest.
That press conference was an absolute car crash tonight. Hancock is an idiot

GM Summary:

423 cases - up 38 from 385. 53.7% of NW total of 788 - up 55 in day. NW % up 1.2% in day to highest in over 4 months.

Wk to wk:- 723 v 764 v 692 v 347 v 360 v 423 Today

The fall and then the plateau of the past two weeks is clear.


Top score Manchester at 100 (first three figure number in 2 weeks and first top spot for Manchester in several days). 44 day to day and 34 week to week increase.

Salford was second today up 24 to 58 - its highest score in 3 weeks. And up 18 week to week.

Trafford again far and away the best at just 11. Its Pop score lead over Stockport is already up to 157 as it is recording daily Pop scores now of around 4 on the day. Many months since any GM borough did that.

The other 7 boroughs all between 28 for Rochdale and 44 for Tameside. Wigan had the biggest daily fall to 42 but that is up slightly week to week.

Bolton down 15 day to day to 33 and slightly week to week and Stockport down both day to day and week to week down at 34 had the best days today.

Bury at 35 was at it highest in 3 weeks. Oldham up 3 and 5 day to day and week to week at 38.

did you read the above post?

I dont believe a word they say on the dates and that commitment to end of july doesn't make sense if they are going to pause a few weeks.

They aren’t pausing.

I've no idea what the July reference means.

That the figures were much better in July last year but the pandemic wasn't over

We will not see a high death toll returning

If we just opened up now, we absolutely would.

We were down there today for bloods so she's still on it mate even unblinded.

I took your previous post to mean you were booked in with the NHS but you mean with Novovax from your comments.

Ah ok. I though you had to stay unblinded to continue. Yes, I’ve got the Novavax jab booked for April 1st. I could have had the NHS one by now, but wouldn’t have managed the 2nd dose before June. Whereas my second Novavax is April 22nd.

keep politics out of this thread ffs.

what are we allowed to talk about here ? We have separate threads for Politics, Covid origin, Covid Vaccine.
Is it just the stats and when we can go to the pub that can be discussed?

It's a supply issue which would be factored into target

GM Weekly Pop Scores after today:~

Borough / Score Today / Score 7 days ago / up or down wk to wk/ Testing is % of local population who have tested positive for Covid over past year.

As ever with Pop scores going up is bad, going down good - the higher the number the better or worse depending on direction moving. The Pop Score is total cases in past week versus 100,000 POPulation to even out the comparison versus size and expected cases based on numbers living there.

Tameside 122 / 111 / UP 11 Testing positive 7.8%

Rochdale 117 / 116 / UP 1 Testing positive 9.2%

Salford 111 / 113 down 2 Testing positive 8.6%

Wigan 106 / 96/ UP 10 Testing positive 8.5%

Oldham 104 / 98 UP 6 Testing positive 9.3%

Bolton 98 / 101 / down 3 Testing positive 8.7%

Manchester 94 / 86 / UP 8 Testing positive 9.2%

Stockport 93 / 90 / UP 3 Testing positive 6.9%

Bury 81 / 82 down 1 Testing positive 8.8%

Trafford 46 / 65 / down 19 Testing positive 6.7%


As you can see a lot of flattening out. Tameside and Wigan in the most trouble over recent days. But neither a real concern.

As for Trafford back to being far and away the leader of the pack. If we could figure out what it is doing right we should.

Trafford's weekly cases at 110 is the lowest for any GM borough in over 6 months. Back when Wigan was skyrocketing and scoring more than that every day. Bury's recent scores mean it is now trailing on 155 but that is a very low weekly score in any other context.

Even Manchester at 522 weekly cases is best seen against the 2000 to 3000 it was getting in the autumn.
