Sorry for the capitals. Just trying to flag up what data says what as some things right now matter more than others. And we are all trying to work out how real this data is right now.

NORTHERN IRELAND DATA

There is no arguing which way this is going sadly

2 deaths - was 1 last week

1264 cases - was 537 last week

Cases falling though - and the number of deaths from Delta is still far less than an average flu season

True, but compared to an average July I suspect it's way ahead of flu.

Data from our local shows 43 patients with confirmed or expected. Most concerning is that 18 of those are 34 or under.

The numbers also looks to support that the vaccinated are largely being kept out of hospital.

You’ve not been looking very hard have you.

I think it's a question but there is no question mark. If it is the answer is, no.
I find it easier to ask the clever people on here ;-)

Don’t want to sound negative- but with restrictions all back open, I think people with a cold and some of the symptoms just don’t bother getting tested now as for many it’s not worth the hassle isolating and getting time off work etc.

Yeah, I mean I never became an “official stat”, I couldn’t be arsed having a pcr when I knew I had covid, the kids had already just had it and didn’t need to be isolating again.

So the three nation deaths are 2 - it was 4 last week.

After England were added later that 4 became 25.


And total 3 nation cases today are all but identical:

1238 + 1237 + 1264 - despite big differences in population

Total 3739

Last week it was 3384

THINK THIS IS THE FIRST WK TO WK INCREASE IN THE PAST FEW DAYS ALMOST ENTIRELY FROM NORTHERN IRELAND UP 727 alone

New cases in the Netherlands 4,665 today. Figure has been falling consistently all week and was 10,198 last Sunday.

Something very odd is going on with Delta. Feels like it rockets up and down very very quickly in terms of numbers.

Yes, it does feel odd. Certain restrictions still in place, such as nightclubs closed, but society still ticking along, so it’s hard to pinpoint why the numbers are so volatile.
