Coronavirus (2021) thread

Scotland data:

O deaths - was 0 last week

268 cases - was 238 last week

1.7% positivity - was 1.5% last week

70 patients in hospital - up 2 on yesterday - was 70 last week

4 ventilated icu beds - up 1 on yesterday - was 6 last week


Positivity and cases rising slowly. As are patients and ventilators.

Too small a change to get really concerned but we need to monitor this.

in brazil the average is 1915 deaths per day.

disturbingly i read children are dying of Covid at a alarmingly high rate out there.

Northern Ireland data:

2 deaths - was 1 last week

104 cases - was 89 last week

4.2% positivity - was 4.4% last week

4 care home outbreaks - up 1 on yesterday - was 5 last week

610 weekly rolling 7 day cases - was 616 yesterday & 638 last week


Hospital data here edging up too.

38 patients - up 6 on yesterday - was 56 last week

3 ventilated- up 1 on yesterday - was 3 last week

Not looking quite as good as it has been doing but small changes so far and even without the variant I think we had to expect our gradual opening up to have some small impact on hospital numbers.

We are at a very critical stage though now. It either stabilises or escalates and that will quickly alter what happens next month if it does.

disturbingly i read children are dying of Covid at a alarmingly high rate out there.

300000 children a year die from diarrhoea in India every year. Now that is truly disturbing.

I know what you mean, but we can’t go in a pub or shop if they’re shut. Some elements of lockdown we have no choice but to comply with. Unfortunately.

this is true

To be honest im sick of people not following the rules. We need local lockdowns with education and monitoring, if that doesnt work, then real heavy street policing and if that doesnt work send in the army to patrol. I dont really care less about peoples sensitivities at this stage and neither should the government, the Government surely has a duty to act in the best interests of the wider population. Not pussy foot arround with people who ignore the rules to the detriment of the rest of us. This affects us all, all 66million of us, and I think its fair to say weve all had enough.
