Coronavirus (2021) thread

Yes I totally agree with you but the other most serious issue is the more that get vaccinated means the more at risk none vaccinated people are at risk.
Just seems to be a postcode lottery going on with a lot of this.
I'm happy to wait my turn but a lot of reports here and elsewhere in the country of people beating the system, how I dont know.

Those none-vaccinated people are less likely to be affected by the virus so are not more at risk surely.
On supply, the NHS get a supply and share it out, not goverment driven so is being delivered into arms fairly.
Also say a small minority try something to beat the system, they've got to wait for lockdown to ease like the rest of us, of course there will be t***ts pushing in (like in traffic jams after a match) but silly to pretend your say an immigrant or homeless to get it etc. Achieves nothing.
People area getting very irritable at the moment and I don't blame them, but if a 20 year old takes his 80 year old for the jab and because vaccine is expiring and could go to waste, that nurse offers it to him, fair play I say. We'll all be offered that first jab by end of July anyway. That's roughly 8-9 months for the whole country. Second jab by October then for the last lot with some luck!

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 117 / 116 / UP 1 Testing positive 7.8%

Salford 115 / 114 / UP 1 Testing positive 8.7%

Bolton 105 / 95 / UP 10 Testing positive 8.8%

Rochdale 105 / 126 / down 21 Testing positive 9.3%

Wigan 102 / 95 / UP 7 Testing positive 8.6%

Oldham 102 / 101 UP 1 Testing positive 9.4%

Bury 97 / 72 UP 25 Testing positive 8.8%

Manchester 86 / 94 / down 8 Testing positive 9.3%

Stockport 82 / 93 / down 11 Testing positive 6.9%

Trafford 44 / 63 / down 19 Testing positive 6.8%


Today's readjustment put everywhere up.

Bury by 13 and Rochdale by a whopping 16 in the day the most.

But Rochdale, Manchester, Stockport and Trafford are all still falling week to week.

Trafford lost a bit if its sparkle but still well clear of the rest.


Though there were some modest week to week increases for all today.


Salford and Bolton up by just 3 had the lowest week to week rises.

For comparison here are the weekly Pops on Sundays for each borough from 4 wks ago to today:


Bolton 210 - 183 - 112 - 95 - 105

Bury 221 - 178 - 92 - 72 - 97

Manchester 165 - 141 - 82 - 94 - 86

Oldham 145 - 140 - 86 - 101 - 102

Rochdale 162 - 172 - 114 - 126 - 105

Salford 174 - 141 - 101 - 114 - 115

Stockport 166 - 160 - 88 - 93 - 82

Tameside 181 - 166 - 107 - 116 - 117

Trafford 120 - 107 - 62 - 63 - 44

Wigan 168 - 144 - 102 - 95 - 102


Trafford in the month fallen to a third of where it was.

Bury by a bit less but still dramatically.

Bolton, Manchester and Stockport have fallen to half

Mostly quite steadily

Other 5 boroughs a bit less successfully and rather up and down but all are significantly down in the month.

Face coverings and social distancing here for a few years yet. Subtle Govt control?

Nope. Disease control. Anyone who thought or believed the hype that come September everything would be back to normal haven't been paying attention. For example if the Govt collapsed tomorrow and we had a GE with a different winning party if they are responsible coverings and distancing will still be the responsible thing to do.
If anything Johnson really wants them not to be a thing past summer - he wants to move on he wants to change the narrative but he knows only too well what must be done.

According to Astrazeneca, the EU have stockpiled 12m of their jabs.
They also stated and that the UK manufactures nearly all it's own jabs. The Indian batch being the last scheduled foreign manufactured AZ jabs for the UK.

Do the staff need a bit of overtime? Fuck the EU off and knock us out another 50 million doses.

Better for the vaccines to get used than go to waste. I got mine last Monday, along with 3 family members. All because my dad works at the police and they'd been told there was 130 excess doses available that would go out of date if unused that day. This excess was because of people not turning up for appointments. 130 people over just 3 days. It's a disgrace.

We popped along after work and got lucky. By the time we walked out of the building, the excess had been used and it was appointment only.

Nightclubs reopen without restrictions in Israel tonight, bars and restaurants been open for 2 weeks. Why can’t we expect to be back to normal by September if they are pretty much there already?

As soon as I heard that on the news earlier (masks, social distancing may be around for a few more years) I knew there'd be more than a few riled...

Because over 55% of Israeli's have had their first dose and over 45% have had both doses?
Only 820k cases in total and 8k deaths?
Maybe they have capacity in a health service that isn't reeling?
