Greater Manchester scoreboard

218 cases today - up 92 on yesterday. And also up 36 on last week, First week to week rise in a while.

Though these numbers contain many old cases back as far as January and not just the past week or so data added together. So tomorrow may be bring a reassessment.

Tbh it is really a bit of a mess how they are handling all these tests and then the negative tests that often follow and negate cases already counted. I suspect this is another historic catch up of that issue 'resolved' last Friday we thought with a huge cut of wrongly counted positive cases. Over 8000 in England. But now here are another set from weeks ago of over 1000 it is believed which are added back on.

Hard to know tonight as the regional scores have not been updated other than for West Midlands - up 190 to 311 and South West up 202 from yesterday's quite absurd and unlikely to be real low score of 2 up to 204.

After doing the last two alphabetically they seem to have decided to stop as something was not exactly right !

Perhaps to think about what to do next in the morning.

But looking at those two you would imagine that had they carried on then North West would have risen to around 400 - 500 today matching the pro rata GM rise. And that kind of number is what they cases they have posted from the towns suggests.

Anyhow as it stands (which may or may not be for long!) :-



Manchester top scores on 60 which is up from 31 wk to wk

Wigan second highest on 34 which is also up - from 14 - last week

Oldham had 21 which is up from 13 last week.

Salford also scores 21 - up from 17 last week.

Stockport is on 19 - which is at least down from 22 last week

Rochdale has 17 cases - which is up from 14 last week

But Tameside on 15 is down week to week from 21.

Trafford one less on 14 is unfortunately up 1 on last week.

But Bolton with 10 is well down week to week - a fall of 14.

But NOT the lowest today.

Bury regains that top spot on 7 which is down from 13 last week .

So Bolton, Bury, Tameside and Stockport as it stands had good days.

The rest may be awaiting the steward's enquiry.
 
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.


Oldham 49 / 69 Down 20 Testing positive 9.7%

Manchester 46 / 70 / Down 24 Testing positive 9.5%

Rochdale 45 / 73 / Down 28 Testing positive 9.5%

Bolton 32 / 70 / Down 38 Testing positive 9.0%

Wigan 32 / 56 / Down 24 Testing positive 8.8%

Salford 27 / 55 / Down 28 Testing positive 8.9%

Stockport 24 / 56 / Down 32 Testing positive 7.1%

Tameside 19 / 77 / Down 58 Testing positive 8.1%

Trafford 19 / 52 / Down 33 Testing positive 6.9%

Bury 13 / 54 / Down 41 Testing positive 9.0%




Even better numbers for much of GM until the coming readjustment occurs!

Bury has the lowest GM Pop score I ever recall. And every borough under 50 is new to me as well.



Weekly cases:- Quite a scrap for lowest cases but best to wait until after the readjustment is corrected next Friday and the minus numbers no longer feature in the weekly totals as they currently distort things a little.

Even so with six of the boroughs under 100 and two others single figures away from being so these numbers are very very good compared to even a few weeks ago.

Bury at 26 is an average of under 4 a day! But that is caused by the minus number and will go up once that is out of the equation next weekend. Similarly for some of the other low scores that will adjust up maybe 10 or 20.

Bury 26, Trafford 44, Tameside 44, Salford 70, Stockport 71, Bolton 93, Rochdale 100, Wigan 107 Oldham 117 and Manchester 220
 
HOSPITAL DATA


Good drop in England the the UK over the weekend. Admissions too falling a little. UK now just over 2500 patients in hospital with Covid when it was nearly 40,000 in January. And closing in on sub 2000 in England any day now. Ventilators sub 400 in both England and UK. With dates when numbers were lower slipping back now into late September.

North West also had the best weekend with good falls in patients and ventilators

Now places are opening up the next week or so will tell us a lot about whether that increases cases or both cases and hospital numbers. Hopefully not the latter.

Its fine
Don't give a fuck what people say to be honest (not referring to you)
Been through shit last few years but I'm still here
But people just carry on with their own lives oblivious to the suffering of others.
Not everyone is married with kids and still have their parents.
I have none of these, and I'm only 45.
I don't want sympathy just making a point that some people struggle more than others.

Your a blue amongst blues. If it helps you to vent on here then vent away. You are one of us mate.
 
Not sure I understand why the distancing aspect is glossed over when it comes to hospitality. Rule of 6 seems to be applied with no distancing.
Guidance says maintain distance but law only prevents more than 6 being together.
result = 6 different households mixing.
