That is true, but they also provide out of date hospital data, which i believe Healdplace has pointed out several times. And there is nowhere near the anlaysis of data on any of our main news channels as there is on here. Simole things like weekly falls in hospital numbers and deaths are hardly ever reported. The differences in test results from different types of tests like Shemnel just posted is clearly interesting and throws up questions. But things like this never get reported.

There's no space for that sort of analysis on the BBC with priority given to their in-depth coverage of important stuff like fluffy dramas, reality shows and minority sport, is there.

And yes, the rest of the media are just as bad. I'm no fan of Glastonbury Festival but the Glasto forum on efestivals is very balanced.

Well, Monday brings us outdoor sport and socialising in gardens again (which presumably means there's actually more socialising indoors going on).

Potential cases will begin to trickle through a week today and any signal from this relaxing of rules might be seen in about a fortnight. All fingers crossed.

HOSPITAL DATA


Headline:

UK patients fall into the mid 4000s with bigger drops outside England for once - as England fell only a little today. Though the rise in the South East looks to have been due to over reporting of the fall yesterday. So it may haven fallen both days. Yorkshire though is still up a bit. UK ventilators drop to just over 600 - down over 3400 in 9 weeks. And England now under 600. Numbers have hit a bit of stall but the lower you go the harder it is to go further.

UK total:


Patients 4485 - it was 39, 248 at the peak on 18 Jan - (fall of 34, 763 in 67 days) :- lowest since 10 October

Ventilators 617 it was 4077 at the peak on 24 Jan - (fall of 3460 in 61 days) : lowest since 17 October


England only:-

ADMISSIONS:-

277 Covid admissions (24 March) - following 295, 294, 279, 287, 283, 351, 343 in the week before.


PATIENTS:-

Patients down 51 in day to 3712 v 4841 last week :- lowest since 11 October.

Peak was 34, 336 on 18 Jan (fall 30, 624 in 67 days)

Ventilators: Down in day 7 to 559 v 749 last week :- lowest since 21 October

Peak was 3736 on 24 Jan (fall 3177 in 61 days)





Regions:



Patient // Ventilators // change in past 24 hours and v last week


East down 39 to 306 v 449 // down 4 to 54 v 74

London down 12 to 799 v 986 // down 10 to 159 v 237

Midlands down 8 to 765 v 1052 // stays at 126 v 169

NE & Yorks UP 9 to 625 v 776 // UP 4 to 88 v 94

North West down 15 to 678 v 819 // down 3 to 79 v 90

South East UP 27 to 404 v 579 // UP 9 to 33 v 60 * This seems to adjust an over report in falls yesterday

South West down 13 to 135 v 180 // down 3 to 20 v 25

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.

NB:- Every borough is up big week to week today due to the data glitch that under reported all of GM last Friday. This is catch up day on the week to week numbers. Things should be back on a normal track from tomorrow but really every borough was artificially low for the past few days. Hence the course correction.



Tameside 125 / 104 / UP 21 Testing positive 7.9%

Oldham 120 / 91 UP 29 Testing positive 9.5%

Bolton 117 / 90/ UP 27 Testing positive 8.8%

Rochdale 115 / 93 / UP 22 Testing positive 9.3%

Wigan 105 / 91 / UP 14 Testing positive 8.7%

Manchester 101 / 83 / UP 18 Testing positive 9.4%

Bury 92 / 74 UP 18 Testing positive 8.9%

Salford 91 / 107/ down 16 Testing positive 8.8%

Stockport 86 / 75 / UP 11 Testing positive 7.0%

Trafford 60 / 33 / UP 27 Testing positive 6.8%


As you see only Salford came out of the week better off as its numbers only started falling in the past few days. Everywhere else is up week to week from Stockport at 11 to Oldham at 29. Even Trafford up a big 27

But hopefully this will all self correct over coming days. Though everyone but Salford starts that readjustment from a higher base.


Weekly cases: Trafford - best in GM at 141.

Others Bolton 337, Bury 176, Manchester 560, Oldham 294, Rochdale 257, Salford 235, Stockport 250, Tameside 274, Wigan 346

Do you use Efests? I have been a member on there for years and spend my time arguing with plastics on the football thread constantly.

Brazil getting hit hard again, icu units overwhelmed by covid patients. Looks bloody awful. Very thankful to the government and everyone involved in vaccine rollout throughout the uk

Just had my antibody results in 6 wks after 1st dose and it said no presence of antibodies detected. I'm immune suppressed so it wasn't guaranteed. It's absolute shattered me tbh. I've been stuck in the flat for 13 month because of this pandemic and another year before that because of an allergic reaction to a prescribed tablet. I've only been to hospitals in all that time. I live with someone who is also clinically extremely vulnerable so i can't just say fuck it in case i bring it back to her. I'm completely down atm, i'd put all my hopes into the vaccine. I can't do another year.

Im in the same boat, immuno suppressed but i havent had an antibody test yet. Work is going on re alternative treatment for ppl like us, so chin up. If we get 80% vaccinated our risk is much less. Good luck to you.

Our government have been slated for having such a high death rate. But with a 3rd wave seemingly unstoppable on the continent could our rates end up being relatively low compared to the rest of europe ?
