Northern Ireland data

Unfortunately Delta is starting to show its teeth even here now in early signs too

0 deaths - was 0 last week

179 cases - was 109 last week - biggest numbers in some time

7.4% positivity - was 4% last week - this is starting to head the wrong way too like rest of UK

3 care home outbreaks - up 1 on day - was 2 last week

847 weekly cases total - was 765 yesterday & 604 last week

16 patients - was 16 yeterday & 19 last week

0 ventilated - was 0 yesterday & last week

First signs here we may have the same pattern developing as rest of UK

The new care home outbreak is a concern as over 80s testing postive starting to go up as a result too.

To all those supporting the don't have a jab and lose your job coz civil liberties THIS will be the consequence of that liberty UK wide if agreed

We won't be out of this on the 19th July .this delta variant really taking hold now, hotspots throughout England. The NW is a mess

Boris Johnson should take one look at that and be utterly ashamed at his decision to put cash before lives.

The diabetic statistic is so generalising , I Wonder how many basically fit , not overweight diabetics are included in these lists?
Type 1 or type 2 ,, I can’t find definitive answers anywhere.

I don't think you ever will for PII/GDPR reasons. This is probably the best we'll get in the public domain

By 'other' I take they mean size of a house.

Greater Manchester is way up today sadly.

Though Bolton and Stockport with their high vaccinations still come out reasonably OK.

Manchester highest numbers in many months on 335 and just keeps going up sadly.

Wigan also is on its highest number since last winter at 193. More than doubled in a fortnight.

They are well vaccinated too.

But Bolton's increase to 121 and Stockport's to 93 look tame given that.

Bury also over 100 and Salford on a new high at 137.

The lowest score in GM today was in Rochdale and that was up day to day and week to week at 79.

Highest 'low' score in some while in the county.

When you see those figures, it's hard to argue that delaying "freedom" day by 4 weeks isn't the right decision.

Hospital admissions up too. Worrying times and the next week will tell us what our next 12 months is really gonna look like.

Nothing seems to add up to me. Apparently it’s more contagious, more likely to send you to hospital and more likely to lead to death. They are saying we are already on over 20k infections a day, 90% of which are the delta variant, yet hospitalisations are riding slowly and the infection to death rate is around 0.3%. What is it to be?

Well it’s clearly more contagious by the R rate going up to 1.44. I haven’t been following the stats so I wouldn’t know about the rates of hospitalisations and deaths.

I just know it’s been a difficult week for people who base their Covid opinions on their politics with so many people getting upset by a full crowd for a football match in Hungary

Of 1317 infections in Scotland

43 are in people aged 65+ (feels like only yesterday that this number was in the low single digits, it's sadly growing as overall case numbers accelerate)
202 in people aged 45-64

471 in people aged 25-44
596 in people aged 0-25 (Inclusive of 229 aged 0-14)

Ayrshire and arran up double week on week from 52 to 104

Greater Glasgow huge increase week on week from 205 to 372

Lanarkshire up more than treble week on week from 51 to 161.

Grampian likewise from 17 to 64

I think any early thoughts of this being a 'bump' or starting to plateau have sadly evaporated. Realise there was a data error last week but they specifically stated this only accounted for 150-200 cases overall, so it's not pretty regardless of how you dress it up.

**************

4 deaths

2 aged 75-84
1 aged 65-74
1 aged 45-64

***************

20k first doses
22k second doses

Still quite slow on the vaccine process given what we're up against.
