COVID-19: Long queues for vaccines in Ireland as 12 to 15-year- olds able to get coronavirus jab

While vaccines opened up to young people on Friday, Saturday saw large numbers queue in the rain as they waited to get their doses. More than 80% of Ireland's adult population is double-jabbed.

Same here. We've done about 20% of 12-15-year olds and I suspect that number will increase when schools go back in a couple of weeks (as vaccinated kids don't have to do Covid tests).
 
So the three nations deaths this week with England to come are 7

Last week they were 4. Which became 39 after England was added later.
 
And the three nations cases total with England to come are 3891

Last week that total was 3233 and England added 24, 196 to the total for UK of 27, 429

Yesterday England added 26,700 to the total of 29, 520

So all things considered you would expect a rise today.
 
Will post the full data after the match

But here is the outline:

61 All Settings Deaths - up from 39 last week

26, 750 cases - down from 29, 520 yesterday AND 27, 429 last week.

First wk to wk fall in UK cases in 10 days.
 
Just before kick off had to post EVERYONE in GM apart from Manchester, Wigan and Stockport UNDER 100 today. And even those three had big falls on the day - Manchester to 205 and Stockport to 106 and Wigan to 115 and down week to week 54, 46 and 2 respectively. So only Wigan really not a good drop.

Salford fell huge - 89 week to week and posted just 79 cases. First sub 100 there in many weeks.
 
Cases across the regions:


Change in last 24 hrs V seven days ago



SOUTH


East DOWN 400 to 2002 V 2167

London DOWN 713 to 3157 V 3662 - Another big fall and down wk to wk


South East DOWN 194 to 3763 V 3345 - .

Highest region on its own now and up week to week


South West DOWN 376 to 2595 V 2695 - Another plateau score week to week








MIDLANDS



East DOWN 259 to 2166 V 2450 - a good fall wk to wk

West DOWN 328 to 2421 V 2793 - much the same






COMBINING THESE TWO INTO ONE AS THE NHS DOES TOTALS 4587 - EASILY THE LARGEST REGION







NORTH



North East DOWN 405 to 820 V 957 - lowest score in any UK region in months - just over a month ago NE was on 5 times this many cases.



Yorkshire DOWN 51 to 2882 V 2661 Falling only slowly and still up wk to wk


NE & YORKSHIRE as Zoe and the NHS combines these two for the hospital data and this is now below the Midlands and South East as third biggest area with 3702 cases.




AND



NORTH WEST DOWN 977 TO 2616 V 3037 - Easily the best fall today. And down week to week.

Much better day than of late for the region. As Zoe predicted.

THIS IS THE LOWEST NORTH WEST TOTAL SINCE MID JUNE.



Past weeks NW numbers are 3037 - 2877 - 2877 - 3189 - 3539 - 3621 - 3593 - 2616

Equivalent NW numbers a week earlier 2939 - 2451 - 2265 - 3195 - 3608 - 3456 - 3043 - 3037


Here are the week to weeks above:-


UP 98 - UP 426 - UP 612 - DOWN 6 - DOWN 69 - UP 165 - UP 550 - DOWN 421






GM numbers in past week 1308 - 1157 - 1160 - 1262 - 1390 - 1345 - 1461 - 932

GM numbers week before 1160 - 906 - 901 -1279 - 1486 - 1452 - 1187 - 1308

Wk to wk :-

-
UP 148 - UP 251 - UP 259 - DOWN 17 - DOWN 96 - DOWN 107 - UP 274 - DOWN 376


Biggest GM fall wk to week in weeks and lowest total in nearly 2 weeks







Total in GM from the NW cases Total 35.6%. It was 40.7% yesterday and 43.1% a week ago

VERY GOOD DAY FOR GM TO LOWEST % OF NORTH WEST SINCE BEFORE DELTA ARRIVED
 
Full GM details


Total cases 932 - DOWN 529 on Yesterday - biggest drop in ages. The whole NW was DOWN 977

Well above expectations and so a very good day for GM


Wk to wk DOWN 376 when the NW is DOWN 421.

That is obviously most of it and an even better split of the NW fall in GM today.

So a really good day for GM.




BOROUGH / CASES TODAY / V YESTERDAY / V LAST WEEK



BOLTON 71 / DOWN 22 / DOWN 32

BURY 66 / DOWN 44 / DOWN 28

MANCHESTER 205 / DOWN 111 / DOWN 54

OLDHAM 78 / DOWN 76 / DOWN 33

ROCHDALE 77 / DOWN 22 / DOWN 17

SALFORD 79 / DOWN 66 / DOWN 89

STOCKPORT 106 / DOWN 47 / DOWN 46

TAMESIDE 69 / DOWN 59 / DOWN 39

TRAFFORD 66 / DOWN 59 / DOWN 34

WIGAN 115 / DOWN 23 / DOWN 2



Seven boroughs under 100 - Trafford and Bury joint lowest on 66.

Aside from Wigan the falls pretty evenly split too with some large weekly POP score falls.

Trafford did so well today it made up ground on Stockport in the lowest overall Pop Score race between these two - cutting Stockport's lead by 7 to 102.
 
Greater Manchester

Weekly total cases:-




Bury 548, Bolton 616, Rochdale 630, Tameside 705 , Oldham 803 , Trafford 806, Wigan 899 , Salford 938, Stockport 973, Manchester 1889



Everybody falls is the big news here. First time in ages.

Bury solidifies top spot and Stockport's high scoring lately - if not today when it fell a good bit - takes it above Salford into second behind Manchester - as Salford was well down by more today! Though both went below the 1000 barrier to leave Manchester alone there and also falling from near 3000 a week or two ago. And both Salford and Stockport are closer to Bury's total than to Manchester's.
 
GM Weekly Pop Data:~

Borough / Pop Today / 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 going up is bad, going down good - the higher the number the better or worse depending on direction moving. The Pop 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.


Salford 357 / 191 / UP 166 Testing positive 13.8%

Manchester 340 / 265 / UP 75 Testing positive 14.3%

Trafford 339 / 282 / UP 57 Testing positive 10.9%

Oldham 338 / 307 / UP 31 ` Testing positive 14.3%

Stockport 330 / 291 / UP 39 Testing positive 10.8%

Tameside 311 / 254 / UP 57 Testing positive 11.9%

Bury 287 / 331 / DOWN 44 Testing positive 13.1%

Rochdale 282 / 202 /UP 80 Testing positive 13.8%

Wigan 272 / 154 / UP 118 Testing positive 13.2%

Bolton 214 / 168 /UP 46 Testing positive 13.7%





The top is squeezing together with just 85 separating the nine boroughs above Bolton - still well clear as the best and has been for weeks since it got Delta under control early.

Bury makes it 4 under 300 at least.

And even Salford - the highest - is doing so well it is now lower than most boroughs were 2 weeks ago. And may well not stay top for much longer if it keeps dropping as fast as now. Four boroughs separated by just 10 are below by a small enough margin any could overtake it in just one bad day.









Stockport up by 35 today - lowest in a while - now 10, 877 - but Trafford was better - up just 28 - only behind Bolton - taking it onto 10, 979.

So Stockport's lead for the best overall Pop Score across the pandemic falls by 7 to 102 over Trafford.

And as you see Trafford easily avoided entering the 11 K club today - until tomorrow anyhow - unless it has an even better day tomorrow

Stockport is a couple of days behind - or more - depending on if the numbers stay this low.


Rochdale up by 34 today onto 13 , 851.

Bolton today up 25 - lowest today - taking it up to 13, 682.

Bury up 34 today - a low score for it lately - on 13, 160.

Manchester up 37 - lowest here n a good while - to be on 14, 251
.
Oldham betters that - up 33 - to 14, 271 cutting its lead on Manchester as highest GM POP Score to 20.

Salford is up just 30 - its lowest in weeks - to 13, 767 .

Tameside up 31 onto 11, 987 - and the race to see this weekend if Tameside made the 12 K club before Trafford got into the 11K one - was NEITHER. As both had such low numbers they avoided it.

But almost certainly only until tomorrow in both cases.

And Wigan up 35 onto 13, 257.

Trafford and Wigan up the most on 0.5%.

Rochdale the least - on zero (as in not even 0.1%)



STOCKPORT THE HIGHEST IN GM ON 85% FIRST DOSES AND 75% SECOND DOSES but......

Not even Stockport are up with the average UK or England totals as you can see below - indeed not even up with N Ireland the LOWEST national scorer here - so GM as a region well below UK average performance on vaccination numbers



LATEST VACCINATION NUMBERS FOR THE UK NATIONS:-


UK Vaccination numbers today

Percentage of adult UK population as eligible

89.4% have had first doses - 39, 047 given yesterday (England 89.3%, N Ireland 85.9%, Scotland 91.3%, Wales 91.1%)

76.7% have had second doses - 166, 952 yesterday (England 76.2%, N Ireland 76.8%, Scotland 77.7%, Wales 84.3%)
 
Who decides how long you should self isolate for ?

My workplace is a small team of six and we work close to each other.
Last Tuesday a lad tested positive so we were sent home to self isolate. We are all double jabbed. Today back at work ! So that's only five and a half days isolating, I thought you had to do ten.

I am not back for other reasons but the young lads text me asking advice;)

We are in the SE region which is up every week.

Is that not because of the change in rules coming into effect from today where those double jabbed don't need to isolate even if they've come into close contact with someone who has tested positive?

Might be I am not up to date with the rule changes I thought it was from the 17th ! But that would make sence

Yeo you are right ;)
 
I see the Guardian are running an an article about the pandemic “being set back a year” due to “new vaccine evading variants” which don’t even exist, and according to most scientists I’ve seen comment on this, probably won’t exist as to evade vaccines the virus would have to mutate so much it’d likely make itself inert.

The Guardian and the Daily Mail have been two of the worst culprits through this whole thing. They’re both obsessed with doom and gloom and never want this to end.

Sells papers I guess.

Tbh the only mainstream publication to have spoken soberly based on facts and not blind speculation has been the FT. Their coverage has been exemplary.

(And Healdplace obvs).
