Will not post every borough as the paths are much the same for many of them.

If true this is worrying but when you say it’s not a big number, is it 1 out of 2 that have it and are pregnant? There has been no mention of this anywhere so surprised if it’s a thing

Not aware of the ratios mate.

This is a problem when discussing small numbers. 3/6 could suggest bad luck - members of the same neo-natal group or something. 50/100 would suggest a trend.

So it spreads rapidly here but in India with such a crazy population number they are now down to 91k cases a day. Doesn't add up. Even with a super strict lockdown it was running rife to the point you can't control it.

Scotland data:

0 deaths - was 2 last week

1104 cases - was 992 last week

4.1% positivity - was 3.9% last week

132 patients - up 8 on yesterday and 16 on last week

13 ventilated - down 1 on yesterday and up 5 on last week



NB: There was a lab processing error yesterday and about 150 - 200 of these should have been part of the 735 reported then. So it seems 900/950 both days maybe and so not a big daily rise or increase on last week as it looks.

they are telling us everything we need to know. the Indian variant is 60% more transmissible and single shot vaccine is no where near as efficient as double.

therefore need to get more people double dosed!

Bolton's cases in past 6 weeks:

Wk 1 (30 April - 6 May) 29 - 32 - 41 - 45 - 44 - 57 - 61

Wk 2 (7 - 13 May) 75 - 68 - 91 - 89 - 116 - 124 - 189

Wk 3 (14 - 20 May) 135 - 79 - 145 - 153 - 138 - 183 - 280

Wk 4 (21 - 27 May) 186 - 220 - 151 - 106 - 117 - 144 - 203

Wk 5 (28 May - 3 Jun) 241 - 127 - 113 - 151 - 98 - 149 - 117

Wk 6 (4 - 10 Jun) 135 - 171 - 120 - 114 - 127 - 133 - 103


So , yes, there is undeniable stability and improvement here but we need to see numbers like those in week 1 before we can really become hopeful.

Especially as Bolton is at the moment the only GM borough clearly going the right way.

And more than a month after the accelerating cases in Bolton, when we ought to see spikes in hospital admissions, they're still at levels that the NHS ought to be able to cope with. And hardly any deaths at all.

The maths says this will happen and continue to happen everywhere until a variant that doesn't react to the vaccine comes along. This variant might never happen so no point in worrying about it

Northern Ireland data:

1 death - was 0 last week. This death was in a care home.

121 cases - was 73 last week - cases starting to rise here now too

6.0% positivity - was 4.6% last week

2 care home outbreaks - was 2 yesterday & last week

Rolling 7 cases 636 - was 604 yesterday and 495 last week

18 patients - down 1 on yesterday and last week

Ventilated 0 - same as yesterday and last week


AGES OF THE 636 TESTING POSITIVE IN PAST WEEK

0- 19 (224) 35.2%

20 - 39 (288) 45.3%

40 - 59 (98) 15.4%

60 - 79 (23) 3.6%

80 PLUS (3) 0.5%


These numbers are incredible really as they have moved almost daily in the same direction.

80.5% testing positive under 40 and only 4.1% over 60.

This is why cases are rising but in the young and healthy and mostly unvaccinated.

The difference between this wave and the one in Dec/Jan is gigantic because of this in terms of stress on the NHS and the human cost.

Correct, it was always "the earliest date", not a definite date.

Also nothing has actually been announced yet.

Media have aided the public into totally ignoring earliest date, that date was in mind prior to Delta too.
