Coronavirus (2021) thread

That 1290 all settings is a significant fall in the number on Tuesday when the numbers were the same from everywhere else (England hospitals and the other 3 nations all settings - so only without England out of hospital deaths added in.)

So there was a very large add on of out of hospital deaths on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Today it is only 345 versus 635 England out of hospital added on yesterday and 665 added on Tuesday.

There is always some weekend catch up but that looked extreme. And still does.

Possibly there was a lot of post Christmas/New Year catch up as out of hospital deaths may take longer to verify than those in hospital. A delay of a week or two is not hard to imagine.

Let's hope its a number never reached again and it's a downward trend from here on in.

Funnily enough, was reading about this earlier. Ordered one off Amazon for delivery tomorrow which will be day 5 since my symptoms started so hopefully will give me a bit of an edge if things get worse

A lot of samsung phones can do this also, if anyone has one and didn't know. Probably not massively accurate but a guide nonetheless.

Fingers crossed with the figures today it looks as if infection rates are slowly coming down which in turn will see admissions reduce and finally deaths although I think we will have another couple of weeks at least with high death figures.The light at the end of the tunnel is a little more than a pin prick now, not glowing hugely but definitely getting nearer

The media do say about daily v reported deaths

Regarding the date on which deaths actually occurred, not when they were reported, 12 January was confirmed yesterday to have become the deadliest day of the pandemic so far with 1,110

The 'everyone got a bit giddy over xmas but they're largely now sticking to the rules after having their social fill' theory looks stronger and stronger tbh. Nice to see obvious signs of a fall.

How can you get fined if you ignore the app, I might be wrong but you don't put any personal details in besides first part of your postcode?

I almost put in brackets if you get caught for that reason. I dunno how they'd do it just pointing out the risk of ignoring it.

Yeah just interested to know if its got more details than I realized, the conspiracy nuts would love that one.

Seriously, how do you expect them to know what the landscape will be in the future months? Expecting firm dates will leave you disappointed

They should be doing something even if it's estimated.

They don’t have a clue do they. This is the frightening part. There is literally no end in sight
