Coronavirus (2021) thread

My daughter has been given enough from college and been told to continue twice a week testing over Easter.

So have mine, but why bother?

edit...they will probably do one but certainly not 2 per week.

You said once gardens and pubs will be allowed it will be a free for all for house parties.

there were many on here all last year arguing that the draconian rules need to remain because when you give an inch some take a mile.

I am frankly fed up of that approach and it is not sustainable to tell rule followers to lock up and have no freedom because of those who choose to ignore them anyway. Particularly when we in greater Manchester have only been permitted to mix with others for 26 days out of 365 and counting.

if it was not your intention then apologies.

I was just stating it as a fact. Garden visits and pub gardens will be allowed in the next few weeks - and very few will abide by social distancing measures and there will be house parties galore.

I’m beyond caring to report or look down on people for whatever behaviour now as it’s just not worth stressing over but I am weary of going back into another lockdown despite the success of our vaccine rollout.

My daughter is a teacher and has also been told to continue testing twice a week during Easter.

Just watching the Holland match . There’s a fair few fans been allowed in with no social distancing ... I was under the impression Holland was struggling with a 3rd wave ?

That is good to know so we can compare with the Welsh data posted earlier. They break it down in 10 year age ranges.

I can break these ones down a bit further if it helps to compare. 65-74 had 17 of those 30 infections, 8 were in the 75-84 age group and the other 5 all 85+.

England Hospital data today is again odd. May be end of month audits as it occurred yesterday too.

Good news if you live in London or the North West ( both fell by a decent amount) but rather awful if you live in Yorkshire where patients shot up overnight by 25% - 155 patients - which means they have more in than 9 days ago.

This is baffling tbh and makes no sense as it is so far off trend - though Yorkshire is clocking up the most cases right now and has all week. Ventilators fell there as well.

There have been some odd ups and downs this week as those who read the full data I publish each evening (in an hour or so) will have seen.

But this had a big impact on the fall in patients. It was low yesterday due to a readjustment to numbers upwards in another region (South East) and now today this even bigger rise in Yorkshire.

Numbers still fell day to day from the other areas but less than usual because of this big adjustment up in Yorkshire.

Numbers fell in England by just 36 to 3676 today. For the first time less than 1000 down on 7 days ago (4589). Though the lower you go the harder the fall as we know.

Ventilators fell a little too by 22 to 537.

Lateral flow will be much lower for the next 2 weeks anyway as kids are off.

Not everywhere, ours aren't breaking until Thursday.

 

[Manc in London]

Lateral flow will be much lower for the next 2 weeks anyway as kids are off.

Many schools will not break up for Easter until the end of this coming week. Test cases should therefore be lower for the next three weeks. Assuming there are not lots of families mixing over the holidays ;)

England Regional Summary:

SOUTH

Some huge falls here as you can see

East down 177 to 255

London down 118 to 383

South East down 206 to 355

South West down 63 to 206


MIDLANDS

Also big falls here

East down 141 to 453

West down 158 to 444


NORTH

The glitch messes up any meaning here as NE is minus and Yorkshire well down (partly impacted by the data) and North West down less so than most.

North East ??? (scored minus 576 on yesterday's total)

Yorkshire down 348 to 716 - some of which will be due to the cases removed as with North East.



And


North West only falls by 99 to 668 but just manages to stay second highest region behind Yorkshire
