Actually - though - no it does not.

70 of those 105 over 80s deaths recorded today are a little worryingly from the last 3 days alone. And 80 of them from the last 5 days.

Compared with 42 and 48 from past 3 and 5 days for the 60 - 79 age range.

That's a bit worrying, though as discussed when number get to these much lower levels the variations between days and age ranges are more striking.

Agreed best not to read too much into one days data.

90.8% of them were over 60 and 9.2% aged 40 - 59.

56.8% of them were over 80 - easily the highest in a week or two.

Nobody at all younger than 40 today.

Yep, Mrs Prague's mother is seriously worried as it's getting out of control over there. Says she has no idea when or even if she'll get the vaccine too.

Doing 35,000 a day at the moment and should be up to 100,000 a day in April. As the population is quite small, shouldn't take that long (assuming they hit those targets).

Currently doing over 70s, medical staff and teachers. Not sure how old she is but I'm in my 50s and hope to have it May to June time.
 
England hospital deaths: By region

South West 36, South East 33. Midlands 30, NE & Yorkshire 25, East 24, London 19, North West 18

First time NW has been the lowest in ages (not weekend reporting that is) and the numbers for the south west unusually high.

Manchester at 6 is the highest in the north for deaths and Bristol at 7 the only one higher in the rest of England aside from that huge add on in the one hospital in the South West.

I think that has skewed the data quite a lot today. Hence the anomaly.

This may well be because of the 'newly redefined' as covid deaths cases that we were told yesterday were being added from some southern regions. Likely why so many in that one hospital. I mentioned it in a post as it appeared as a PS on Gov UK.

Could partly explain today. Best see where it goes over coming days before worrying.

Hopefully back to the more normal trend tomorrow.

Hi Stephen

She's 68 so hopefully it won't be far off then.

We still hope to come out some time this year, I'll drop you a line if we do, take care

Vaccinations now open for those aged 56 and above although the next group is 55 and above. Anyone know why? I’m seriously miffed being 55

Media reporting this incorrectly. This is ONLY for England. Wales still not at this stage yet, surprise surprise.
 
So total deaths with England out of hospital to add is 208. Slightly up on yesterdays 199.

Wk to wk:

783 v 655 v 503 v 355 v 293 v 208 Today

All 3 to 7 year old children have been back in Scotland for the last 2 weeks, so might give some indication if it can be spread by younger children, including 2 of my Grandkids

We'll see what impact the vaccinations have had for sure, here's hoping that we've broke the back of it and we can get back to some normality soon.
 
If this fall continues next week we may have a sub 100 England hospital deaths number by next weekend.

Current run of 5 day total of deaths per date in last three weeks is:

(9 Feb) 373 - 361 - 361 - 346 - 304 - 302 - 319 - 288 - 287 - 263 - 234 - 222 - 230 - 184 - 196 - 178 - 166 - 158 - 163 - 165 - (1 Mar) 163

This is the last date for which we have a 5 day total but behind it are:

(2 Mar) at 4 days = 122, (3 Mar) at 3 days = 115, (4 Mar) at 2 days = 93

Today 28 were added to 5 Mar. This is actually 2 up on the number last week (26) Another slight hint of a stall.

There is a little sign of a slowing to a near flat line of what was a steady day to day 5 day total fall in other recent numbers here too.

Look at the last 5 totals at five day above (166 - 158 - 163 - 165 - 163) and you will see that very clearly.

It will be harder to fall the lower you go but the test is will we see it fall below 100 in the next week?

Next few days will be critical in telling us that I think.

If they start falling - even more slowly - that is good.

If they stick around 160 or even go upwards we may have a small problem brewing.

Three nations cases with England to come today is 922 - another sub 1000 total - though as with the England hospital deaths above they seem to have stalled around 800/900.

We may be at the point where cases and deaths are hard to get much lower.

Wk to Wk:

2186 v 1841 v 1960 v 1611 v 907 v 922

Can only think that because the Czechs did so well during the first wave in keeping cases so low that with other, more infectious variants being around, so many are getting it now as there was next to no immunity amongst the population. Seems to be a pattern that’s being repeated in a few countries. Of course, if vaccine rollout had been a lot quicker over there then that could’ve negated some of those problems.
