Trafford recorded the 3rd biggest increase in the country of cases, up 70%
The mind boggles, with all of this. How is this happening?

Not today it didn't.

That' is old data from last week I presume when as I have been noting in here daily it has been going up and lost its leads to Bury and Stockport - but it has since had a pretty good last 2 days and is well down wk to wk.

And was best in GM today!

What data are you referring to?

OK
But still don't understand how the increase could be that steep.
Obviously increased testing but we're still in semi lockdown. What have people been doing?
 
Looks like we might not get any hospital data until Tuesday now from England.

Here is what they say:

As the NHS response to COVID-19 has moved from a level 4 to level 3 incident, data will not be collected or published on weekends and Bank Holidays from 2nd April 2021. The Saturday and Sunday data will be collected retrospectively on a Monday, and therefore the daily splits will be available after the weekend.

Data quality notes:

  • On 27 March 2021 Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS FT submitted erroneous data for numbers of Covid patients in beds which impacts on the regional and national figures for that day.

The second part explains the sudden jump up and down of nearly 200 in Yorkshire last week which looked like some kind of error as I noted in the hospital report at the timw.

I guess it is good that data is now considered less urgent to report daily so it will be a quiet weekend anyhow.
 
What 70% rise are you referring to Blue Matt? Rise in what and when?

Its case numbers have fallen from 33 to 30 to 28 to 23 to 17 to 12 in past 5 or 6 days.

That is certainly not a 70% rise.

It was in the MEN, weeks increase from last week. The 3rd highest in the country probably from the selfish young twats we have in this district.
 
Bury was the worst place in the north according to the MEN two or three weeks ago,

Briefly it was. By the time they reported that though it wasn't. Now it is vying with Stockport and Trafford for best in GM.

This is how the problems in Bolton and Wigan got missed last year as I have mentioned a few times in here.

Making decisions from using the 6 day old 'finalised' data.

Which may be finalised and so a bit more accurate per day but the 6 day old part is often much more important than the odd case here or there in terms of seeing what is happening quickly.

The data for GM I post here daily reported the issues with Trafford last week when they were present and has covered its fall from top to its recovery over the past day or two as things have improved.

The MEN will get there.

After Easter.

And its all relative at the low numbers Trafford get because a jump from 20 to 30 is 50% but in real terms cases are modest and Trafford still has by far the best Pop Score across the pandemic ion GM and one of the best in the North West. That is not a place in much trouble.

Its Pop Score last night was 75 - it will be lower tonight. Nobody on a Pop score of 75 and falling now (it has been rising) is in much trouble. Except relative to someone with almost no cases.

Pfizer seem to have benefitted greatly out of the colossal hitjob on Astrazeneca. In the long-run or historically speaking, AZ may benefit from the fact they delivered a not-for-profit vaccine, but right now the company is taking a hammering.

Not exactly a great incentive for future projects.

Hawarden in north Wales.. I’ve been chasing mine for weeks as SWMBO has Lymphoma and I didn’t want to be responsible for taking the virus home to her.. the communication re the vaccination programme has been shocking.. Sue had to chase hers.. I’ve had to chase mine yet Mark Drakeford has taken every opportunity to say how fantastic his team’s handling of the situation has been

I can't stand Drakeford but on this it's maybe down to local organisational factors?

Having said that, its annoying that whilst in England - as I understand it - you can book a jab online, but here in Wales most of us have to wait to be contacted.

Luckily our local medical practice seem to be fairly well organised (I live in Rossett, and had my jab in Llay).

yep, absolute disaster of a prime minister

yet, lets all attack 'Tory Keith' the same way everyone attacked Corbyn who was the complete opposite, either labour supporters are very stupid or the media have worked wonders, probably a bit of both.

sorry, politics.
