133 all settings deaths - so 119 added for England v 97 last week
I suppose we'll only get a proper idea how the whole thing is panning out once schools have been back a while. Certainly by the time the clocks change we can compare with last autumns data to predict what sort of winter we might be in for.And 32, 406 cases - so 25, 118 from England
DOWN from 26, 982 last Saturday and 27, 545 yesterday
EVEN WITH THE BIG SCOTLAND WK TO WK RISE THE UK TOTAL (NO WALES THEN EITHER REMEMBER) IS ONLY UP 348 FROM 32, 058 LAST SATURDAY AS THE ENGLAND FALL BALANCES THE RISES IN SCOTLAND
Really odd that England has so far evaded the rises and is flat or even falling when the other nations are going up, Though N Ireland fell today too.
Can this entirely be down to schools in or out? As clearly the younger ages are driving these cases everywhere.
Wonder if outside classes could be the way to go if kids playing pre back to school in England outside is not forcing up numbers but those in Scotland in classrooms are?
The jabs for 12 and over finally announced will help too. Though not necessarily by much as they minimise hospitalisation but do not stop transmission so much it seems and kids being kids will spread it everywhere they go.I suppose we'll only get a proper idea how the whole thing is panning out once schools have been back a while.

Exactly how I see it I think. Hospitalisation and deaths will be the figures to watch rather than cases I suppose.The jabs for 12 and over finally announced will help too.

That is the problem. Delta is so infectious in young people. They are mostly fine but if they then get in contact with the more vulnerable - grandparents etc - THOSE might not be. Especially as the weather changes soon and being indoors not out becomes the norm for 4 or 5 months.
They long have been so because of the vaccines - which is why I post all the hospital data in here every evening around 6 pm from England and the regions and then the totals for the UK.Exactly how I see it I think. Hospitalisation and deaths will be the figures to watch rather than cases I suppose.
