If all adults have been offered a dose by end of June then there’s noway they can keep restrictions beyond that

basically admitting they are in permanently

Worrying numbers from Greater Manchester today.

Unless you live in Stockport.

I find that hopeful - because if you recall I posted a couple of days ago some % numbers for GM boroughs of how many had been vaccinated and the % in Stockport was very high. I did not check every borough but it was easily the most of those I did.

If this variant is taking root in Greater Manchester then it would be encouraging to see the most vaccinated boroughs doing the best.

Stockport today has just 6 of the 481 cases in Greater Manchester. The only good news on a day with pretty large numbers elsewhere,

Bury - who I warned the other day was starting to look like a problem as it not only has proximity to Bolton but was at very low levels of 3 or 4 cases 2 weeks ago - best in GM - so its spike was quickly evident

Today it shot up to 28 cases - more than double yesterday and triple last week.

Manchester also up on 77 - its highest in some time.

Wigan - also bordering Bolton - up on 23.

And Trafford still higher than it should be.

Even Tameside was on 13.

Stockport the only single figure number today. Indeed the gap to Trafford in overall Pop Score has been falling steeply from 200 a month ago. Today it is down to 128.

IF - and it is a big if obviously - Stockport stays low then it would look like the high vaccination level there versus other boroughs might be a factor. Which would be very encouraging news for everyone.

Also note that those 481 Greater Manchester cases today come from a total of 686 in the whole North West.

Over 70% of the total cases. Well over what it should be getting. Obviously largely because of Bolton but other areas are starting to tick up too.

GM had nearly 17% of the total cases in the entire UK. That is very high.

432 cases in Scotland today

12 in people aged 65+
60 in the 45-64 range

152 aged 25-44
204 aged 45-64

5,500 first doses (Scotland). Draw your own conclusions, but that 45-64 group and even more so the one below, numbers will continue to grow until we start getting first doses in arms. I'm going to bang the astrazeneca rethink drum pretty relentlessly it seems.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Texas cases, hospitalisations and deaths continue to drop, the “just wait 2weeks” crowds are now staring at week 11 of Nightclubs, bars, restaurants and totally full stadiums, all being open and no vaccine passports.
Texas has 29 million people.

Being as Bolton has pretty much been in perpetual lockdown since last March, it can’t be that, surely?

According to the surge data on the gov.uk web-site the vast majority of the voc cases were within one district of Bolton. 62 cases in Bolton 4, 0 cases in Bolton 3. I don't know what is meant by Bolton 4. But the data is over a week old.
