Coronavirus (2021) thread

Another reason for the Gov UK delay was caused by 850 cases - mostly from Yorkshire recently - being wrongly added as positive when they were void instead - we are told btw.

4715 cases and 58 all settings deaths as a result I assume as the Yorkshire cases all come from the past few days and those are likely why in those few days it has beaten the North West!

Punched the air when I saw that 4,715, the same way I do when Liverpool concede at home again.

Unless you are taking the piss I am pretty sure @Healdplace has missed a decimal point out. If she hasn’t it is more than worrying

Yesterday's vaccination numbers

First doses: 342,942

Second doses: 234,382

I'm hoping this note from Public Health England means they've corrected some overstatement of recent North East & Yorkshire in the historic figures today, NOT that they've taken 850 cases off in reaching todays figure (i.e. the 4,715).

AS I noted above Unicorn but now been able to look closely at the data it seems mostly the North East (and just a few from Yorkshire too) that were removed today.

Yorkshire is well down but North East down so much it has a MINUS number. At - 576 - so I would say nearly all the 850 came from here as it normally gets about 250 on a normal day.

Yorkshire still clocked up more than the North West today - despite being over 300 lower than last few days. But not by much as North West fell only by 99 to 668 - though that week to week is down from 770 last Saturday.

The number today really was higher I presume - around 5300/5400 - as these cases were counted as minus today it appears from the running NE score.

Though I am guessing here. I only know it was a minus number as I know the total it had yesterday versus the one it has today. And todays number is lower.

It actually will have had some cases today obviously - just fewer by several hundred than those deducted - hence its total going down.

So I am playing safe and assuming the mid 5000s number not the mid 4000s one for the real case total today.

Saw your earlier comment thanks @Healdplace but I'm not sure if that means the new cases reported today (4,715, very good) has been netted down by that 850 case error and is really 5,565 (still OK).

I would expect the adjustment to be made against the cumulative case numbers, rather than today's figure, but you never can tell.

30 of the 563 cases in Scotland today are in those aged 65+

 

[Gabriel]

Some 8,798 cases in the Netherlands today, so rather looks like a third/fourth wave.

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Today’s positivity figure not good, that’s worrying.

Not so bad with the decimal point

So to paraphrase anyone who threatens your fortnight in Malaga should be shut down

No not saying that at all.
They should stop giving that hypocritical wanker Ferguson air time for starters. The man's an idiot whose predictions have proved to be consistently incorrect over the past few months and on previous illnesses.
Its staggering how he keeps being asked his opinion.
