England hospital deaths 2 - with 0 NW

Sunday data is always low but this is the lowest reported for many months.

The only regions with cases were 1 in East (King's Lynn) and 1 in Midlands (Birmingham)

The deaths were 1 aged 40 - 59 and 1 aged 60 - 79.

Wk to wk:- 11 (3 NW) v 9 (1 NW) v 6 (0 NW) v 3 (1 NW) v 2 (0 NW) TODAY


The two were on 7 May and 6 May. The 13 on 5 May did not increase at day 4 and is the only day in May so far that has had total deaths allotted to that day above single figures even after add ons.

Roll on next week and the opening of indoor hospitality and fans back at football.

Scary





One can easily now imagine how they had 18-20m deaths 100 years ago.

Horrific.

Unfortunately the news from Greater Manchester is not good. Particularly for Bolton which is worse than ever today.

Up to 91 cases - half the entire GM score of 186. And an even bigger week on week rise of 50 .

This is in fact MORE than the entire NW week on week rise of 47.

Single handed Bolton has turned the NW into the worst area in the UK and put Greater Manchester at risk of delaying opening up as this variant there is clearly a big problem.

The tardiness in spotting this needs to be investigated given how we saw it unfold in here well before it was reported.

Manchester on 26 in second has never been this far behind anyone else up top given its much larger population it should always have the most cases.

Bolton's Pop score today went up by 32 in one day!

As for the rest Rochdale on 15 and Stockport on 12 and surprisingly Bury on 11 were moderately high for a Sunday and up week to week respectively by 9, 6 and 3 - but nothing like the 50 of Bolton.

They are not doing well but as yet Stockport is not doing a Bolton just not as good as it was the last few weeks. It's Pop score rose today by 4 and Rochdale and Bury - both up by 6 - had worse days today than Stockport.

But none of them even close to that 32 from Bolton, which puts these numbers into perspective.

As you will surmise the North West (or rather GM practically single handed with a new recent high of 64% of all the cases in the NW - half of them in Bolton) - is why cases are rising.

I await the hospital data for the North West tomorrow and in coming few days with some trepidation as that will tell us if this is just a minor blip caused by localised cases that Zoe is suggesting are already fading (hope so) or whether we may be at the bottom looking up.

If Zoe is right those Stockport numbers will climb in coming days too. Elise will sadly have a few more concerns than probably losing the council leadership to the Lib Dems if so.

The next week will tell us a lot about where the region and GM in particular is going.

Fingers crossed it is a flash in the pan and this time next week City will have finally clinched that title and these numbers will be looking better too.

So could the government prevent GM from opening up 17th

I thought the governments plan was everyone/everywhere move forward together or not at all. I was reading Healdplace post as meaning Greater Manchester’s situation could delay everyone opening up.

Imagine the backlash towards GM if that was to happen

Hopefully Zoe will be right and Bolton will start to go down and we are sensibly taking measures to stop any spread.

Numbers were bound to rise once we started relaxing. That will have been factored in.

Bolton is an outbreak that should have been acted upon earlier as the clues were there but it is being addressed now and things may well look much better in a week.

We just have to stop it from spreading to other parts of GM but effective testing. Which is supposed to be occurring.

The latest video just gone up from dr John Campbell..he mentions the surge testing in Bolton. He says british nationals visiting india Pakistan Bangladesh have brought variant back. Says the UK government taken a big risk allowing people back without hotel quarantine..we're all in it together folks.

It'll be spreading
