It's worth reminding everyone, these are Fridays numbers so not a weekend number.

Of course, that is true. The 'low' weekend death numbers are reported from Saturday and Sunday on Sunday and Monday but the England hospital numbers and hospital & out of hospital numbers from the other nations were lower than yesterday. So the increase has to be from out of hospital deaths (care homes etc) just in England. That number has risen by a few.

However, the last 5 death numbers for UK in all settings have been:- 1243, 1564, 1248, 1280 and 1295 today.

That is supporting the plateau reaching hypothesis.

The 1564 had last weekends catch up data from the days deaths cannot be registered so easily as midweek so would always have been artificially high as it is in every other week.

Yes a text. But linked to a website where she could book her jab. And confirmation back from her GP surgery. My son is pretty savvy and said it all seemed fine. But if we’d not visited today she wouldn’t have known she’d ever received an invite.
 
I've been keeping a track of our LA number of cases by day of test since Dec 1st, and the trend is now firmly downward, both in daily number, and the 7 day average.

The 7 day average peaked at just under 200 around Jan 4th, and it's now below 150 for the 2nd day, first went above that on Dec 22nd, 2 days after we jumped from tier 2 to tier 4 in 2 days.Cv.JPG

Excellent sorry I didn't mean to patronise
 
I am getting very depressed again , the medics are giving horror stories from the wards and the scientists say the numbers are not going to go down any time soon

Sigh

In England, so presumably the rest of the UK is roughly in line, daily rate is now exceeding the rate we need to go at for the Feb target.

will fluctuate but surely good news

Honestly, with talk of 500,000 jabs a day this time next week, I think they’ll smash it and have it done ahead of schedule.
 
Neil Ferguson was on LBC this morning and said we may be going through the peak of cases but hospitals and deaths will be another 2 to three weeks. Good job they abandoned the 5 day thing over Christmas, one day has led to bad enough figures. Leaving Merseyside in Tier 2 for so long has been coming home to roost as well. Madness.
