Coronavirus (2021) thread

Nah. Its going to be as bad as an average flu season. (113 deaths a day) We don't shut down for those

I’m not calling for things to be shut. I’m pointing out a reckless, anti science, statement from a new Health Secretary.

Just musing, as I’ve had to speak to mum this evening and cancel a family barbecue set for Sunday, but there really is very little way out of this for the older vulnerable groups. My mum is double Pfizer since Xmas, but still in her 80’s and now obviously susceptible to delta. They just aren’t going to get normal life back for now are they?

This is normal mate, it’s all we’re getting. Hope you stay well, but truth is it’s fucked up.

Yep, seems it’s the case. May as well just get on with life now, seems daft me self isolating, I’ve just finished 10 days of it now I’m supposed to do another 10 days, madness.

It’s bizarre, how the fuck can I have 2 kids with it in the house where first one was probably infectious over 2 weeks ago, and then now I test positive, lol.

Missus is rolling her eyes as she’s thinking it’s bound to be her next.

Ive just ordered a vindaloo and am cracking into some beers, no idea how long I’ll have taste buds for so may as well get leathered tonight.

I reckon I’ve had it for well over a week but it’s only today that my taste and smell has gone. Just put some red hot chilli sauce on my food and it didn’t register. Let us know how the vindaloo experiment goes.

I don’t fancy a beer though. But when I was getting ill last weekend and didn’t know what it was booze totally sorted my out for the night.

It's a bloody mess at the moment I really hope come autumn we've got the cases down or it could be a tricky winter. I'm hoping the booster jab really gives the elderly and vulnerable more protection

That’s exactly what I’ve just been talking to with my dad. All the old and vulnerable are just being left to shield themselves. Just think. Our parents have to now go to Asda or whatever and some fucking self-centred anti-mask lout will be happily coughing his delta all over the cornflakes.

Cases across the regions:


Change in last 24 hrs V seven days ago



SOUTH


East UP 739 to 3921 V 1919 - big rise day to day and week to week like most places today

London UP 992 to 5743 V 3234 - nearly doubled wk to wk

South East UP 1240 to 5890 V 2806 - biggest increase yet here in the south and now just 300 behind the North West numbers

South West UP 1080 to 4426 V 2105


NOT HARD TO SEE WHERE TODAYS BIG RISE IN NUMBERS CAME FROM - OVER 4000 UP JUST HERE!



The south is rising fast now and where the NW was a few weeks back.








MIDLANDS



East UP 78 to 3204 V 2115

West UP 1433 to 5220 V 3082 - highest increase of the day in another area where Delta is multiplying.








NORTH



North East UP 250 to 3697 V 3305 - not showing quite the same rises here happily



Yorkshire UP 681 to 5334 V 3907 - Yorkshire is going higher and higher.


NE & YORKSHIRE as Zoe does and the NHS does combines these two for the hospital data and this is clearly now the biggest area with 9031 cases - way over where the North West has reached to date and about 50% above where it is today


AND



NORTH WEST UP 9 to 6212 V 4950 - Still the highest region (BUT see above ref NE & Yorkshire)

An increase of 9 versus all those huge numbers that put the UK numbers up by 6251 today really shows you what I have been saying for a few days.

NW has plateaued and is no longer why these cases are rising. They have just now reached everywhere ese who are doing what the NW did some weeks before them.



NO ARGUMNENT THAT THE NW HAD THE BEST DAY TODAY.






Past weeks NW numbers are 5203 - 6487 - 4758 - 4231 - 4769 - 4931 - 6203 - 6212

Equivalent NW numbers a week earlier 4366 - 5033 - 3997 - 3989 - 3945 - 3960 - 4950 - 5203




GM numbers in past week 2224 - 2717 - 2025 - 1770 - 2043 - 2034 - 2483 - 2715



Total in GM from the NW cases Total - 43.7% - UP from 40% yesterday and from 42.7% a week ago,

Good day for the NORTH WEST - not so good for GM.
