Zoe got Stockport rising right btw.

Terrible day here. Worst numbers in 6 months. Trafford clawed back 14 Pop Score points in one day after Stockport has been doing that to them for weeks. Stockport up 86 week to week! Trafford's numbers still dropping,

Only Oldham worse than Stockport - up 98 cases week to week.

Rochdale which had same case number as Stockport (220) - up 99 - the highest Pop Score rise of the day,

Bury lowest cases on 109. Bolton up its biggest week to week number in a while (43 to 145). Same score as Trafford, Which is down 18 week to week and going the right way after a long spell in trouble.

Manchester top 400.

Salford continue to improve - though up week to week by 29.

They are a Zoe measure of active cases per million population.

So not a daily number as Gov UK posts but the total number of cases that are still ongoing. Based on the reports to their app day to day,

A kind of Pop Score though several times higher because they use a different fraction as the one Gov UK do for some reason.

So the raw number is far less important than the trend of going up or down. Which is the only thing it tends to get right and why I post them. The actual numbers show a kind of relative scale within the 10 boroughs of who is doing what but is not linked to the actual daily cases Gov UK offer.

It is a little confusing.

 

[Healdplace]

North West up today by 162 - GM falls by 9 - so that is a good day really all round.

North West up by 970 wk to wk - GM up by 429 - which is around 44% - not far off where it has been in past week. Slightly up only n yesterday.

Several regions went up today by more than the NW - including the North East, West Midlands, East and Yorkshire,

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

36,660 new cases.

It certainly isn’t growing exponentially.

I don't get your point. respiratory season happens either way. Get more jabbed now, save lives. Flu jab will happen anyway. Opening up now will cause more deaths than not. We have a vaccine. Opening up now is simply because that dick in charge has backed himself into a corner and he is scared of bad press from a minority than saving peoples lives. The majority of the country think like this, all polls prove it but just like some of the morons on here, idiots shout loudest.

Opening up now instead of waiting for the vaccines to be fully done WILL cost people there lives, people immune compromised like me and others with co morbidities. That is a fact. Some are willing for those people to die because they don't want to wait. We aren't even really in lockdown compared to the past.

I'm sorry to hear you're immune-compromised. I don't mean any of this personally, I know it must be quite worrying for you.

Everyone who is vulnerable and can have a vaccine has been offered one months ago now. Every adult has been offered the vaccine and the uptake has slowed considerably. The only people left to offer the vaccine to is children and we're months away from that. At some point, we do have to get back to a level of normality and we've already pushed the original 'freedom day' (I hate that phrase) back to allow more vaccinations. We can't keep doing this indefinitely. This pandemic will cost the taxpayer billions and the sooner we can get back to normality the better.

I think the best tactic is to open up whilst simultaneously offering boosted support for people like yourself. The harsh reality is that COVID isn't going to go away. Even amongst a fully vaccinated population, there would be cases.

36,660 new cases.

It's still rising though which isn't a good sign. Not that we should be scared. But we should be vigilant and sensible.

It hasn't peaked yet.
