Coronavirus (2021) thread

Agreed mate. The boozers i went in over last summer were really strict with the rules and cleanliness. There were probably very few places that you'd be less likely to catch anything.

Spot on. I go to a lot of different pubs (300 between July and November) and pubs and customers were putting in the extra effort to be safe, and the spike in Covid cases in mid September was clearly more due to schools and Universities returning.

That said, I'm happy that the road map for pub re-opening makes sense with 5 weeks between steps to collect and asses data.

Greater Manchester did not have a terrible day but not a good one either.

Bolton still top but at least not rising. Salford and Stockport up a bit after their good day yesterday (and Stockport up week to week to likely cost it the Pop Score lead).

Manchester up most day to day but down week to week.

Trafford though had a much better day and actually lost zero overall pop score points to Stockport today for first time in a while.

So a bit up and down but not an especially good day even within the North West Which fell week to week by 92 - a really good drop.

But GM only managed to fall by 17 of those - well under expectation of around 45/50 based on population.

Though Liverpool had its worst day in a while too. Up to 10 - double past 2 days and triple the few days before then - though still pretty low.

Maybe that concert at the weekend? Or is it too early.

If so maybe the Blossoms and their followers brought it back home to Stockport too!

I stayed in Milan for the Atalanta game and also spent some time in Bergamo. A couple of weeks or so after I got home my wife was as poorly as I’ve ever seen her and the doctors didn’t know what it was. From her symptoms I’m pretty sure it was Covid

Also stayed in Milan for the Atlanta game (and also spent a day in Bergamo).
Thankfully the only illness was my mate spewing his guts up after cocktails in Nottingham Forest bar was washed down with pints in one of the places that was designated as a City friendly pub (name escapes me but begins with B I think, not the New York City bar)

Various reports did the rounds a while back that suggested Covid might have been present in Italy back in autumn 2019.

Greater Manchester Cases


153 cases today - up 13 on yesterday.

But down 17 from 170 last Tuesday. Which is much lower than it should be from the NW wk to wk fall of 92.






Bolton - had another bad day to stay top of the tree but on 44 - that is at least down 1 on the day but up 9 week to week.



Manchester rose from its new low yesterday by16 to 30 - though that is down 5 from last week.

Salford up by 11 to 15 which is identical to last wk.

Stockport - up by 5 to 14 which is up 4 week to week and highest here in 9 days.

Trafford down 6 on 11 - but a huge drop of 12 wk to wk. Trafford finally did not lose points to Stockport in the overall Pop Score lead as these numbers are equivalent factoring in population. A mixture of better day for Trafford and a worse one for Stockport.

Bury up 3 to 10 - which is level with last week

GM Weekly Pop Data after today:~

Borough / Pop Today / 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 going up is bad, going down good - the higher the number the better or worse depending on direction moving. The Pop 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.



Bolton 84 / 54 / UP 30 Testing positive 9.2%

Trafford 45 / 41 / UP 4 Testing positive 7.0 %

Salford 36 / 38 / DOWN 2 Testing positive 9.0%

Rochdale 35 / 31 / UP 4 Testing positive 9.6%

Manchester 33 / 42 / DOWN 9 Testing positive 9.6%

Oldham 28 / 37 DOWN 9 Testing positive 9.8%

Wigan 24 / 21 / UP 3 Testing positive 8.9%

Bury 24 / 22 / UP 2 Testing positive 9.1%

Stockport 23 / 23 / LEVEL Testing positive 7.2%

Bolton pulling way ahead of the rest now. Tameside go top And half the boroughs in the 20s.

HOSPITAL DATA

Summary:

THIS COVERS FOUR DAYS OVER THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.


Numbers fell on Friday but have risen since a little in England. But the overall drop across the four days is modest. Sadly the North West is the reason it is not better. As this area is the one that has struggled most in the pat few days - quite possibly due to the Chorley/Bolton spike that the media have missed.

Let us hope this turns around in the next few days.

So the UK now has under 1300 in hospital and just 180 on ventilators.

The numbers that follow are shown as up/down versus last Friday (across the weekend) and v last Tuesday wk to wk.

England numbers generally fell Friday to Saturday and then over the weekend rose by 2 and then 14 whilst today falling by just 3. So in total are 13 up today on Saturday but 68 down on Friday.

Unfortunately the NW fared the worst in the past weekend and are largely the reason for the above. There are now MORE patients (just) in the NW now than a week ago as they have risen by 31 in the past 48 hours.

Yorkshire rose very slightly over the weekend though they are still down week to week. Though Yorkshire ventilators up (by 1) whilst North West fell (by 2).

Neither are a disaster. Just something to watch as all the other data shows these two northern regions are driving the England case numbers.


UK total:




Patients down to 1275 - it was 39, 248 at the peak on 18 Jan - (fall of 37, 973 in 106 days) :- lowest since 18 September

Ventilators down to 180 it was 4077 at the peak on 24 Jan - (fall of 3897 in 100 days) : lowest since 20 September


England only:-


ADMISSIONS:-

92 Covid admissions following 68, 82, 81, 89, 128, 108, 107 in the week before.

As you see some of the lowest daily Covid admissions in England for months under 100 a day over the Bank Holiday - not too surprisingly.

But the North West admissions were up quite a bit and dented the other figures.


PATIENTS:-

Patients down by 68 to 1093 v 1310 last week :- lowest since 19 September

Peak was 34, 336 on 18 Jan (fall 33, 243 in 106 days)

Ventilators: down 8 to 162 v 196 last week :- lowest since 21 September

Peak was 3736 on 24 Jan (fall 3574 in 100 days)



Regions:


Patient // Ventilators // change in past day to today and v last week


East down 29 to 92 v 140 // down 2 to 8 v 14

London down 23 to 292 v 368 // down 2 to 69 v 80

Midlands down 4 to 214 v 237// down 5 to 25 v 34

NE & Yorks UP 1 to 171 v 194 // UP 2 to 22 v 27

North West UP 15 to 203 v 202 // down 1 to 24 v 27

South East down 23 to 82 v 120 // down 2 to 9 v 11

South West down 5 to 39 v 49 // UP 2 to 5 v 3

Cases up by 13. 3rd wave oncoming. Lock yourselves up guys.

Day to day tells you little. Trends matter most. 4 deaths today are equally misleading. They will likely be up tomorrow and that would be equally wrong to consider significant.

But again like with the cases the trends are in the right direction over the past week or so. That is the thing to watch.
