Ah, so @Healdplace , you can definitively tell us whether it's a barm or a bap ?

From where my family live a bap was a posh name for barm cake - and was a term spoken of by those southern softies who lived 'abroad' - as in Manchester.

Have you or anybody you know actually had the flu or a bad cold since the first lockdown last year? I've got a feeling all the measure taken to avoid COVID have actually stifled the spread of other viruses.

Last week was 32 wk before (with Wales excluded) 41 and wk before that 41 also then wk before 66

Both missing Wales data remember. Will be added tomorrow and double dose Monday.

I posted the other day in here that this was true from the data. We had a period with ZERO flu but the same happened in Australia in their Winter (last Summer) - so it IS the measures taken - washing hands - social distancing - not the vaccine that is why.

Hopefully we will continue this beyond Covid.

Total cases with England to come - and Wales missing again of course - 257

Last week was 309 - wk before (again excluding Wales) 427 - wk before 481 - wk before - 701
