As we suggested earlier in here today the school testing will be down at the weekends and so this kind of fall was to be expected. Though we will not learn testing numbers until tomorrow they are likely to be sub 1 million I expect.

Have no idea why they collate all the other data but have never cared about the testing number over the weekend that Scotland, Wales and N Ireland have no problem posting 7 days a week.@

Indeed over the weekend they do not update the now two key data pieces in England - hospital numbers and testing to create the positivity number.

Utterly bizarre for such a comprehensive site. Especially as the hospital data is easy to find and I am sure the other data is collated for England 7 days a week as it is for the other nations.
 
Regional Summary:

Everywhere down but the North West by just 7. By far the least today.

Though Yorkshire stays the highest region despite falling by 126.

Unfortunately, Greater Manchester went UP today by 15 to 317.

Enough to take its % of the NW back over 50 to 51.4% after falling to its 2021 low yesterday,

In GM Bolton, Salford, Stockport, Tameside and Trafford all go up.

Tameside was the biggest increase - by 23 to 41.

Bolton was up by 15 to 39, Stockport by 15 to 38, Salford by 4 to 36.

Trafford was up by just 2 to 11. And shared lowest score on 11 with Bury who fell from 16.

The other four boroughs fell day to day:

Rochdale the most - by 19 to 22.

Manchester dropped 16 to 59 as top scorer ahead of Tameside in second.

Wigan fell by 3 to 29 and Oldham by 1 to 31.

Week to week Bolton (by 4), Bury (by 9), Rochdale (by 2) Salford (by 2) fell marginally

Wigan (by 17) and Trafford (by 13) fell with more significant drops in their weekly Pop.

Manchester stayed at 59 cases week to week.

The other 3 boroughs - Oldham, Stockport and Tameside were up week to week.

But Tameside was up just 4 wk to wk and the other two by even less. So minimal impact.

So sorry to hear that, I have those two as well as a couple of other conditions but I got through Covid reasonably in tact. I feel very lucky. Must be very difficult for you and your partner, wishing you all the best.

Let's just remember that Covid-19 most often kills via blood clots. Some where between 60% and 75% I believe.
This is most likely politics and AZ not delivering quantities expected.
The UK expected such things so ordered 3.5 times the number of doses than required. Contrast with the EU who only provisioned about 1.5 times the number required.

Never knew that.
Throughout the last couple of months i was worried about developing a blood clot. The constant coughing had me a tad concerned (and still does).
 
Hospital data:

Sunday data means little usually changes though not a good day for the North West even so. Manages to go back above 1000 in hospital. When falls are more common on Sunday and rises on Mondays Other areas do fall a bit.


UK total:


Patients 7291 - it was 39, 248 at the peak on 18 Jan - (fall of 31, 957 in 55 days) :- lowest since 18 October

Ventilators 1052 - it was 4077 at the peak on 24 Jan - (fall of 3025 in 49 days) : lowest since 1 November


England only:-

ADMISSIONS:-

386 Covid admissions (12 March) - following 449, 494 and 483 days before. 386 is lowest in many weeks.


PATIENTS:-

down 33 in day to 6039 v 7812 last week :- lowest since 19 October.

Peak was 34, 336 on 18 Jan (fall 28, 297 in 55 days)

Ventilators: Down in day 37 to 963 v 1273 last week :- lowest since 9 November

Peak was 3736 on 24 Jan (fall 2773 in 49 days)



Regions:



Patient // Ventilators // change in past 24 hours and v last week


East down 13 to 562 v 756 // down 3 to 91 v 107

London down 9 to 1181 v 1562 // stays at 308 v 393

Midlands down 32 to 1324 v 1766 // down 11 to 210 v 277

NE & Yorks down 10 to 993 v 1248// down 9 to 122 v 176

North West UP 16 to 1002 v 1211// down 6 to 119 v 149

South East UP 9 to 742 v 972 // down 5 to 83 v 129

South West UP 6 to 235 v 297 // down 3 to 30 v 42


All in all not a terrible day though after slower falls last week a few small rises in patients - though the fall in ventilators took England below 1000 which was good to see.

Usually on Monday small rises occur - patients went up by 35 last week.

What we see tomorrow and into next week will be very telling.
