But people criticising anti-vaxxers is the problem

SCOTLAND DATA

Still not looking good here though hints of cases at least not going up much more or even flattening

9 deaths - was 5 last week

6170 cases - was 5021 last week

11.5% positivity - was 11.0% last week. The flattening of this is the best sign of hope.

629 patients - up 44 on yesterday - was 396 last week

59 ventilated icu - up 5 on yesterday - was 44 last week


Hospital data still climbing quite a bit but it is feeding into the high point of cases from last week or so and MIGHT hopefully start to slow in next week or two. Hopefully below 1000 patients and 100 on ventilator beds

Significant slowdown in case growth rates now. Great news with the schools now having been back a couple of weeks - hopefully the spread isn't still to arrive in those environments. Still a growth I suppose, so nowhere near out of the woods yet, but fingers crossed if previous trends are to go by then a plateau could arrive soon then a decline.

NORTHERN IRELAND DATA

Still high but also still bucking the trend and edging down - why?


9 deaths - was 5 last week - the care home problems still biting here

1472 cases - was 1771 last week

131 CARE HOME outbreaks - down 4 on yesterday - up 3 on last week

10, 378 weekly cases - down from 10, 620 yesterday & 11, 917 last week

418 patients - up 27 on yesterday - was 388 last week

37 ventilated - same as yesterday - was 26 last week


THE HOSPITAL DATA STILL RISING BUT THAT WILL LAG CASE FALLS - WHICH NOW LOOK REAL AS THEY HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR 7 CONSECUTIVE DAYS

HOPEFULLY THIS IS WHERE SCOTLAND WILL HEAD SOON

It’s time for GPs to stop cowering in their surgeries.

 

[Healdplace]

So the total deaths today with out of hospital England to add is:- 219 - highest in 6 months. Which was inevitable given the lag over the Bank Holiday and gradual increases.

Last Wednesday it was 122 - though not a fair comparison because that was NOT the catch up day after a holiday..

The Tuesday on 165 was a little more of a fair comparison.

The 165 became 174 on all settings later when out of hospital England were added

And the 122 last Wednesday became 149 on the same basis.


We look certain to have over 200 UK deaths today - for the first time since 231 on MAR 9

 

[Healdplace]

And the three nation cases total today with England to come is:

10, 970

Last week the number at this stage was 8497 (big increase in Wales and a rise of over 1000 in Scotland)

England added 27, 350 to total 35, 847

Yesterday England added 20, 967 to the 11, 214 from the 3 nations to equal 32, 181.

England cases nearly always go up mid week so I will be surprised to see anything but a bit of a jump today.

He should sue the practice.

It’s time for GPs to stop cowering in their surgeries.

Thats so sad. I had a similar experience a couple of months back. I found a lump on my bollock, phoned the drs and they would only do a phone consultation. I couldn’t believe they wouldn’t see me face to face, Luckily they referred me to get an ultrasound and all was ok, but I’m sure there are lots of people who haven’t been as fortunate as I was

196 ENGLAND HOSPITAL DEATHS

By Region: East 8, London 31, Midlands 43, NE & Yorkshire 66, North West 22, South East 10, South West 16

Most 13 in Mid Yorkshire and 9 in Birmingham hospital trusts.



NW Trusts: Chester 3, East Lancs 2, Mid Cheshire 1, Manchester 2, Pennine Acute 2, Salford 3, St Helens 1, Stockport 2, Wirral 2, Wigan 4


By age: 20 - 39 (5), 40 - 59 (22), 60 - 79 (77), 80 PLUS (92)


Deaths per week are still rising but NOT accelerating.

Last three weeks totals at 7 days have been 364 - 390 & 448.

The next week completes tomorrow and with 6 days it stands at 423.

The day behind it at 6 days is on 63 - so 486 is the minimum.

It will likely top 500 tomorrow but the increase is nothing like as fast or as bad as it has been in past waves.

Indeed there are hints of the numbers flattening off.

AUG 24 currently stands on 83 deaths as the highest single day for England deaths in this wave.

The last time there was a higher number was 94 on MAR 11.

I look at your figures religiously healdplace and for me at least they provide me with valuable data that I use for my own research and again this service you provide to all interested mooners is nothing short of incredible.

Are you by any chance able to get a breakdown of those deaths by vaccination status or is that too much to ask?

For example the of 100 deaths in NSW ( 99 in Greater Sydney ) in this latest delta wave 96 were unvaccinated and 4 had a single dose albeit there are 4 I believe of the 150 in ICU that have fully vaccinated.

Over 80 per cent of the deaths had comorbidities but 20 percent or 20 of the deaths were to the best of my knowledge in an otherwise healthy state highlighting the insidious nature of the disease on those that contract it albeit fortunately in a small percentage of cases a shocking state of affairs albeit for those impacted.

its a small sample but highlights how effective the vaccinations are on preventing serious disease.

I know our figures compared to the human suffering in the UK seem trivial but we in OZ can learn from what you have done well and not so well in a pandemic where no hand book was able to be followed and different countries have coped differently depending on many factors.

Our premier in Queensland today said she has to keep the borders closed to residents of the state because this disease can make any child under 12 vulnerable because their health services are not equipped to handle a major delta outbreak given the low vaccinations rates in the state when not a single person under 12 has succumbed to the disease in this country.

this is about as low as the political discourse has taken the response to covid in this country and diminishing Australia's standing in the global stage.
