Quick GM summary as it is very interesting today.

Manchester was NOT top for first time in some while.

Bolton - that Zoe app was showing increasing - was the most in GM today on 26.

Manchester down to just 21. The last three numbers ALL below what Bolton had today matching Zoe.

Full report later but good days for Bury and Stockport - the two lowest. Trafford still riding a bit high.

But Wigan and Rochdale also in single figures today.

GM as a whole 130 - up 27 on the day out of a rise in NW of 90 - so that is actually showing (as Zoe again predicted) other areas in the NW - like Liverpool - doing worse than GM right now.

But 130 is a FALL from 183 last Monday so week to week and for the pop scores a great result for GM today.

Full data later assuming I am up to it.

Sorry.

Was a bit mean.

I was making the point that at these low levels numbers can easily mislead.

Why I posted the week to week numbers.

Israel has now reported under 100 new cases on each of the last four days.

We will be at the same level, in terms of proportionally, when we are at c800 cases. Hopefully some time soon.

Do you know if Israel are doing a lot of testing, with many being LFDs?

Thanks. if my mates are anything to go by I'll feel like death in about 12h.

Many of us had few issues at all. I got a bit hot about 6 hours later. Had a couple of panadol which helped, then sleep like a baby.

Had a headache and some brain fog the next day but that may have been due to going out for a few beers after the jab. The missus felt a little tired for about 24-30 hours after the vaccine.

No idea what specific tests are being used, but the Ministry reported conducting 8,752 tests on Saturday, always a quiet day, with 0.5% returning positive.

In contrast we did pushing one and a half MILLION tests today for 2000 cases. Just under 0.2% positive. Probably a little more given duplicates.

Think the numbers in reality are pretty similar.
