This could be a genuine game changer.

This could be a genuine game changer.

Just my pessimistic side coming out here but the first thing I see on that story is the date. It was released on 15th March. Surely if it was a genuine game changer it would have exploded in terms of its coverage by now?

yeah this was been reported around 6 months ago that it was in the works! If all that is reported is true and they probably need a bigger pool of people to get a more accurate output. You be using it for when you fly go to the pub or all places where your inside with lots of people.. one thing though the company will make an absolute fortune from it..

You'd think, but who knows. Either way, emergency authorisation has been applied for I think.

Wales data:

Compared with last Monday (which was TWO day data) and the last normal Monday 2 wks ago

0 deaths - was 8 (2 days) last week and 1 two wks ago

50 cases - was 189 (2 days) last week and 125 two wks ago

9 in Cardiff and 6 in Flintshire the most.

0.6% positivity - was 0.8%last week and 1.8% two wks ago



50 cases and zero deaths is Sunday data remember so always low.

But this is the lowest I ever recall whilst tracking. And positivity rating falling shows not due to low testing.

Zoe App update:

Predicts 1711 UK cases - down 21 on yesterday

37, 071 symptomatic ongoing cases in UK reported - down 1969 in the day and 16, 316 in the past week

North West up slightly to 16 - 88 still in third place and dark pink on the 4 colour infective zone.

North East and Yorkshire top and the only one in the red zone at 32 to 156.

Most places little change either way from yesterday.

Wales vaccination update:

1, 587, 851 first doses given - 15, 099 today - was 16, 436 yesterday & 7171 last week

528, 199 second doses given - 3022 - was 15, 699 yesterday & 1565 last week

So that is good week to week but not much over half yesterday and a very large fall in second doses.

Which is slightly being hid by claims on line to be the first UK nation to have vaccinated 50% of its population.

But that population is 3.247 million.

So they can only mean 50% of the adult population. As 1.587 is jut below 50% of the total population.

And other nations are over 50% of adult population and have been for a short while.

England is around 56.3 million in total population and has done around 27.2 million of that number so is just under a million short (probably will get there in the next week) but is over 60% of the adult population>

And given that no children anywhere as yet are being part of the vaccination programme that is the only true measure right now.

Uhhh, apparently, you have to leave details when you sit anywhere like the coffee shop outdoor area.

Day 1: They aren't taking any details.

Hmmm.
