Count myself as very fortunate, positive PCR but no symptoms and feel perfectly fine , just thankful I had both my jabs and can only plead with anyone unvaccinated to get it ASAP

Back on planet earth…

What's your point?

It can't be that you think our rate of COVID is low, given that our current death rate is so high, can it?

So, in this real world, what is your point?

Meanwhile, outside of this thread where people are obsessed with “case” numbers still, society is actually back to normal.

Mais les morts mon ami.
Les morts.
Et sans parler de long covid.

WALES DATA

THIS IS FOR FRIDAY ONLY - SATURDAY & SUNDAY DATA COMES ON MONDAYS TOGETHER

10 deaths

2965 cases

12.8% positivity

NO EASY WAY TO COMPARE TO LAST SUNDAY AS THEY HAD BIG PROBLEMS AND RELEASED NOTHING ON SUNDAY BUT ON SATURDAY RELEASED TWO DAY DATA FOR THRSDAY & FRIDAY.

THIS WAS 5705 CASES AND 23 DEATHS - ROUGHLY TWICE THE ABOVE SO NO OBVIOUS BIG JUMP UP AT LEAST

The other 4 are too conveniently converging for it to be a genuine comparison. It's not suddenly that their vaccines work much better when they've opened up.

Meanwhile, outside of this thread where people are obsessed with “case” numbers still, society is actually back to normal.

Your particular circumstances may be back to normal, but that doesn’t mean society is back to normal. Scientists disagree vehemently on whether the current level of hospitalisations and excess number of deaths can be considered acceptable, in the circumstances, and politicians across Europe seem more intent on lauding their respective vaccination programmes than addressing the current reality. Nobody wants any more of this, but not facing up to reality quickly enough is one reason why this thread has nearly 4,000 pages, in its second incarnation.

What exactly are you suggesting is being done with the figures?

they're not recording the same way, unless you think the vaccine only works in the EU?

GM boroughs weekly past 7 day case totals:

Bury 681, Bolton 823, Oldham 852, Rochdale 1000, Salford 1040, Tameside 1075, Wigan 1302, Trafford 1598, Manchester 1706, Stockport 1706


Big change as numbers climb everywhere but Bury well clear of Bolton with the best numbers in GM.

Rochdale topped the 1000 barrier exactly - so now only 3 are below it when only two were above it 10 days ago.

Trafford had another big fall and is now well below top. Stockport were flat and Manchester up by 58 - which by chance was exactly the gap TO Stockport so these two boroughs now share top spot and are 108 ahead of a fast improving Trafford. Tameside are falling too and Salford is close to catching them.

GM WEEKLY POP SCORES

Remember low scores good - going down good - high scores bad - going up bad

BOROUGH // POP SCORE TODAY // POP SCORE LAST WEEK // UP OR DOWN BY LAST 7 DAYS

Also WAS 4 weeks ago (up/down in past month)


BOLTON 286 // 266 // UP 20 WAS 236 (UP 50)

MANCHESTER 307 // 252 //UP 55 WAS 222 (UP 85)

BURY 357 // 342 // UP 15 WAS 261 (UP 96)

OLDHAM 359 // 343 // UP 16 WAS 284 (UP 75)

WIGAN 394 // 361 // UP 33 WAS 269 (UP125)

SALFORD 396 // 341 // UP 55 WAS 250 (UP 146)

ROCHDALE 447 // 314 // UP 133 WAS 230 (UP 217)

TAMESIDE 474 // 485 // DOWN 11 WAS 334 (UP 140)

STOCKPORT 580 // 556 // UP 24 WAS 356 (UP 224)

TRAFFORD 673 // 819 // DOWN 146 WAS 311 (UP 362)





Trafford FELL big again and Stockport was flat. Tameside also fell so increased its gap on Stockport to 106. Stockport needs to find a sustained fall soon or it will be back where it was on top and at its highest ever level.

In fact as everyone has been rising in past week at some point Trafford and now Tameside are the ONLY GM boroughs actually falling week to week! And even Stockport is up a lot less than several other boroughs.

Bolton still top - thugh up too - with Manchester having the worst day bad enough to send it into the 300s for the first time in 5 weeks,

Stockport's gap to Trafford falls again to just 93.

And Tameside is nearer to being caught by Rochdale than now troubling the top two,

The top to bottom spread falls again to 'just' 387 from 423.
