I know today’s cases are 5177 but what’s the deaths for today ? Not seen it

Because it has not been reported due to Gov UK tech issues again as per a post on previous page.

The number is likely to be no higher than 111 as that was the total without England out of hospital added which is often not much or zero on Sundays. Will be the lowest in months I am sure.

Greater Manchester highlights:

355 cases - down 18 of the 23 that the NW fell as a region today. So % of NW falls by 1% to 45.5%

GM like the NW has largely flatlined and seems unable to get lower than where it is which could see issues with schools back tomorrow as many expect that to see cases rise.

Last few NW totals: 880 - 808 - 889 - 923 - 889 - 799 - 803 - 780

Has fallen 100 in the week and is lowest in months today but there is little scope to go much lower. And NW still the highest cases of any region.

And GM sequence is much the same: - 374 - 368 - 400 - 347 - 434 - 380 - 373 - 355


Today in GM the spread was just 39 cases - from Manchester at 59 to Bury (beating Trafford up to 24!) at just 20.

Four boroughs up on last week and six down but nobody by much.

Wigan up 16 to 46 the most, Manchester down 40 to 59 the most. Almost all changes up or down single figures.

Good to see the sad number of deaths well below 100.

Fingers crossed that progress will be sustained.

At least we're one step closer to moaning about City together in person! ha.

GM scoreboard:

355 - down from 373 - 45.5 % of the NW total of 780 - down 23. GM % down 1%


Wk to wk: 1212 v 1050 v 804 v 631 v 374 v 355 today. The fall - the stall.



Manchester 59 - up from 56. Pop score up 11 to 9107. Weekly cases 453. Weekly Pop down 7 to 82.

Wigan 46 -up from 39. Pop score up 14 to 8402. Weekly cases 334. Weekly Pop up 5 to 102. 50% week to week rise.

Bolton 43 - down from 54. Pop score up 15 to 8552. Weekly cases 320. Weekly Pop up 3 to 112.

Salford 38 - up from 37. Pop score up 14 to 8506. Weekly cases 261. Weekly Pop up 2 to 101 and two boroughs now that fell below 100 go back over in 24 hours sadly.

Tameside 37 - up from 35. Pop score up 16 to 7601. Biggest rise of the day. Weekly cases 242. Weekly Pop up 3 to 107.

Stockport 36 - down from 38. Pop score up 12 to 6758. Weekly cases 258. Weekly Pop down 2 to 88.

Oldham 28 - down from 34. Pop score up 12 to 9205. Weekly cases 203. Weekly Pop down 3 to 86

Rochdale 36 - down from 38. Pop score up 10 to 9041. Joint lowest rise of day Weekly cases 265. Weekly Pop down 7 to 114.

Trafford 24 - up from 19. Pop score up 11 to 6653. Trafford now 105 clear with best Pop across the pandemic. Weekly cases 146 - lowest in GM. But Bury right behind. Weekly Pop up 1 to 62.

Bury 20 - down from 25. Pop score up 10 to 8654. Joint lowest rise of day. Weekly cases 177. 31 behind Trafford for best weekly score. Weekly Pop stays at 92.






Weekly Pop - Borough / Today / Seven days ago / Up/down by Lowest score is best - going down good/up bad

I add the Pop score across the entire pandemic too at the end per 100. This is essentially the percentage of the population in the borough who have tested positive and been recorded. So the minimum immunity acquired that way - if indeed any lasts up to a year by that route. Unrecorded cases, asymptomatic and, of course, vaccinated immunity are all on top of this base number locally.


Rochdale 114 / 172 / down 58 Testing positive 9.0%

Bolton 112 / 183 / down 71 Testing positive 8.6%

Tameside 107 / 166 / down 59 Testing positive 7.6%

Wigan 102 / 144 / down 42 Testing positive 8.4%

Salford 101 / 141 / down 40 Testing positive 8.5%

Bury 92 / 178 / down 86 Testing positive 8.7%

Stockport 88 / 160 / down 72 Testing positive 6.8%

Oldham 86 / 140 / down 54 Testing positive 9.2%

Manchester 82 / 141 / down 59 Testing positive 9.1%

Trafford 62 / 107 / down 45 Testing positive 6.6%

At 680 by the way the 3 nation case total today for N Ireland, Scotland and Wales is the lowest in 6 months.

It has now been sub 1000 for 8 days.

 

[Healdplace]

Another thing today - only 8 deaths were added on to yesterday's England hospital number. This is the first time since 24 October that a single figure number was recorded for the previous day. Even at weekends.

Were going to vaccinate our way out of this..thank you science&scientists

It is not far over in this country now thankfully.

I hope so.

The real test will come when we start opening things again with the new more contagious variant around making cases easier to get out of control again compared to the 'original' variant last year.

We've been in one of the strictest lockdowns in the world for over two months now and the numbers are only just coming down to what you consider low going by the last 12 months.

The super fast vaccine rollout plus summer coming and the slow (not rushed) relaxation in restrictions is giving me a lot of confidence we'll be good by the summer though.

 

[Mr Coopz]

I can tell you now, I dread to think of how I’d be doing right now if I didn’t have the love of my life living with me. These last 12 months have absolutely given me the beating of my life. Working 12 hour shifts 5 days a week at hospital and coming home to spend my time doing nothing and seeing nothing beyond my walls at home. I feel so bad that I’ve had to have my girlfriend console me and reassure me about all this more than I have for her. Can’t bare to imagine those alone suffering through this. I just want this over, this is an awful way to live. Hoping for better days soon.

But that's not what happened. The Kent variant is simply 50% more infectious so what used to work keeping it at bay no longer does. It is now the dominant strain across most of Cental Europe except in Eastern France where the Brazilian and South African variants now dominate.

Maybe so mate but the Kent variant has done a lot of damage in the U.K. and other parts of the World. I made my earlier post after a Bluemooner wrote that only 35% of Kent school kids had permission to take lateral
Flow tests, thus suggesting Kent is a capital of Covidiots.

Which countries have reported the new UK Covid variant?

The visuals show 13 countries have recorded community transmission of UK variant, as 24 experience rising case rates

That's @give it to gordon neck of the woods and he's been reporting for ages about poor lockdown in his area

Thanks mrbelfry. In the first wave, we highlighted the idiots in Manchester with bouncy castle parties and the Dippers with their “title celebrations”. Now we seem to have have plenty of Covidiots in Kent and Glasgow. Lockdown fatigue has resurfaced in a big way and they was always likely to happen.

This thread has (recently) focussed on Covidiots in other parts of Europe (rightly so in the case of some political leaders) but our own Covidiots seem to get ignored, these days, who have done much more damage to our own population.
