So we're on to the Sheffield Variant now?

Just so I can keep track...

Got to find a new one not the Indian one isn’t a worry with vaccines.

 

[mcfc_ms]

Yay! Here comes the Argentinian variant!

hopefully it’s about as effective as Veron at the rags rather than a Tevez or Sergio

Does anyone know if they do end of day "spares" at the Etihad? Taking someone on Saturday and it would be nice if I could help avoid one going to waste

Plenty queueing for spares where I went yesterday, but looked like a long wait.

 

[feelymcfeel]

going to end up with more variants than pronouns.

Check your variant privilege.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Check your variant privilege.

depends which one I feel like having today. See where my mood takes me.

Supermarkets in Florida now allowing people to enter without a mask if they have had both shots. No evidence needed to prove that either!

On BBC News just announced track and trace messed up and did not notify local areas about the cases that seem to have triggered the Indian variant wave for three weeks. Preventing measures being taken early, Amongst those areas not notified were Blackburn and Blackpool in the NW.

A 'glitch' in the system was blamed.

Surely the whole system is the glitch if it fails to pass on key data about what it was created to prevent?

Wales Data:

1 death - was 1 last week

45 cases - was 59 last week

NORTH WEST NUMBERS



(Predicted active cases / Estimated cases per million population locally / Both V yesterday)


BOLTON 183 / 646 V 386 / 1361 - Another fall takes it out of being an area of concern (over 1000 on the second number).

Indeed the NW now has no red zone areas at all for first time in a week or two on Zoe.


Others GM Areas:-



BURY 107 / 569 v 87 / 463 - another rise here in what is starting to look an area to watch. As you see almost overtaken Bolton's numbers.

MANCHESTER 93 / 170 V 87 / 160 - a small rise only and still not an issue

OLDHAM 47 / 202 V 42 / 178 - slightly up again - another to watch .

ROCHDALE 20 / 92 V 17 / 80 another small rise but low enough not to be a problem

SALFORD 36 / 141 V 25 / 97 - a fourth successive small increase here so need to keep our eyes on here

STOCKPORT 110 / 381 V 91 / 315 - also a fourth successive but again modest rise here. But it needs to be watched.

TAMESIDE 114 / 510 V 28 / 125 - given its recent low cases this is a rather sudden leap up, Keep am eye on this.

TRAFFORD 79 / 338 V 65 / 277 - again matching Stockport with a fourth straight rise

WIGAN 37 / 113 V 36 / 111 - no real change and very low which given proximity to Bolton is very good to see.


Chorley is low but inched up a tad to 19 / 166 v 17 / 146


Fylde (Blackpool) is miles down on 10 / 129 V 8 / 108 - up slightly but seems over the hump



High Peak (Glossop/Whaley Bridge/Buxton) again edges down again on 17 / 184 V 19 / 207 Looks over here.





But according to Zoe the worst areas in UK right now are:-


Aberdeen (Scotland) 1487 / 6579 V 1808 / 8000

STILL WORST AREA IN UK ON ZOE BUT IS DOWN




Newport (Wales) 166 / 1094 V 279 / 3004 - even bigger fall today. Dropped almost off the red list.

North Lanarkshire (Scotland) 1548 / 4575 V 1503 / 4447 - a small rise here on the seconf highest UK region.

The two worst are now in Scotland on Zoe.

Others:-

North Lincolnshire 646 / 3789 - up a bit.

Bedford 594 / 3494 v 625 / 3676 - a small fall

Leeds 2407 / 3071 v 2704 / 3449 - a small fall

Of these 6 only 3 were from the past 7 days.

One was over 3 months ago.

There were 2 in Midlands (1 each in Lincolnshire and Coventry) 2 in London (1 each in University College and Whittington) 1 in East (Mid Essex) and 1 in South East (Medway)

4 (after 5 days on May 15) is the highest number recorded against ANY date in the past 7 days.

May 13 is on 1, May 14 on 2, May 16 on 3, May 17 on 3 , May 18 on 2 and May 19 on 0.

A zero five day death number seems not that far away.
