Coronavirus (2021) thread

My sister had her jab yesterday, she tests cancer cells at a hospital in Leeds she 36

our lass mate who works as a doctor secretary has had it but not seeing any patient’s surely front line should be getting them

A lot of NHS back room staff seem to be getting the jabs (based on what I’ve seen on social media). It’s a bit of piss take.

523 out of hospital deaths from England confirmed.

Where are these coming from? There were 600 plus twice in past few days as well

These are very high numbers outside of hospital.

If that's not a catch up then it really does require some kind of explanation.

Carehomes, and the way this damned disease works, day 9/10 severe relapse out of the blue just as you think you are getting better?

I hope so. But TBH I also think back to how incredibly hard it's been to speak to my GP this year. And that he didn't follow up - at all - despite me reporting tachycardia. I also forgot to tell him about occassional shortness of breath. I'm fine, as it happens, but surely he ought to have asked about shortness of breath, and the cardio symptom should have been investigated.

for the week to week comparison. Cases still falling at same rate as have to previous day all week. 20% ish

Last before the match - but a summary of the regions today.

Cases down a lot in the South but whilst North West down again falling only modestly (625) and back above every other region in England - even the badly impacted southern ones - apart from London - which itself was down by a much higher 1642.

Still looking like the NW has the biggest problems in the immediate future - though happily not from the high base that the south reached because of lockdown.

The long restrictions appear to have kept numbers low enough to mitigate the possible disaster that we would have had if GM had not been in the highest tiers like it was all autumn and early Winter.

I think that will be seen to have saved many lives in the fulness of time.

Just post a quick GM highlights post before game:

GM down 189 to 1365 cases - but pro rata again a slightly higher share of the NW fall of 625.

So the % share of the NW total from Greater Manchester has risen for the 5th straight day - going from 29% to 31.2% over those 5 days to today.

No question GM is falling like all of the NW week to week but falling just a little less well as Merseyside and East Lancashire which were at a much higher level so not itself too surprising.

Only Oldham and Rochdale (the two best performing boroughs) went up today - neither by very much.

Only Bury was below 100. Manchester was below 300 and everybody else under 150 aside from Wigan.

Stockport actually had the lowest Pop score rise today as well - first time its numbers have been best in any measure in some time.

So overall another OK day for GM.

Full report after the match.

10 million had it. Approaching 6 million vaccinated. 16 million.

70 million population less 16 million (conservative numbers) - 54 million. At 500k vaccination a day tells me in 100 days everyone’s covered? Surely we have to be quite close to normal by then?

Am I missing something?

UK population ~ 66.5 million. They are only vaccinating over-18s (~15 million), so just over 50 million to vaccinate.

Having said that you haven't catered for all the 2nd doses. I can't imagine they'd get 500K 1st doses a day.

Deaths are appalling. But at least the case numbers are consistently down week on week. Long may that continue, and I'm hopeful deaths will peak in the coming few days, just maybe this is the peak now.
