6753 cases - first week to week rise unfortunately. By 180.
Up 827 on yesterday.
Highest number since 27 February.
All that rise in England day to day. 881 up on yesterday here.
Would not surprise me. }Watch the media pounce on that tiny rise tonight, without giving context of 1.5 million tests or finding out current hospitalisation numbers.
This is the problem i have with this Vaccine.
I am not anti-vaccination, in fact i am all for them if they are safe.
I am not convinced they are safe though.
It is alright saying ,don't blow it out of proportion. That highly likely you will be okay.
What if i am an unlucky fucker and i am not ?
I suffer from all sorts of allergies, I already have a compromised immune system from having Glandular Fever, as well as a couple of patches of Psoriasis.
I have legitimate concerns the vaccination might kill me.
This is why i am waiting out for a while yet.
Not because i am being a selfish fucker .I am waiting it out to see how people with my sort of conditions do over the next few months.
Seems like common sense to me.
I think it will only ever be a guide. It has never really been very accurate even before this week.We need to accept that there will be an inevitable rise in cases as we unlock and test more. The real currency is now deaths and hospital admissions which will take time to filter through and analyse but at least deaths are down 25% again week to week. Hence I can live with the slow release and 5 week gaps
Do we think the Zoe app may be less useful now as schoolkids who are being tested in huge volumes are unlikely to use the app?

A lot of those tests were the inaccurate positive flow tests carried out on school children I assume. So could many be false negatives??New record test numbers however.
1, 535, 487 pillar 1 & 2.
Up 174, 000 on yesterday.
So the positivity is likely to have fallen day to day.

As expected the GM Numbers are all well up.
Highest score in two weeks and a big week to week rise with every single borough rising week on week which will push most pop scores up.
Rise was 183 of the 283 increase in the NW - so above average.
Indeed the numbers were bad enough today to take GM to its highest split of the NW total in 2021. At 51.6%. It was half that a few weeks ago when Merseyside had the biggest split of cases.
Every borough was still under 100 though. With Manchester the highest at 91.And Trafford the lowest - though up itself at 30.
Rochdale is second highest at 67 and they and Stockport seem to have had the biggest week to week rises.
If this continues for a few days many GM boroughs will be back over 100 with their weekly Pop Scores.
Hopefully it will settle down as the test numbers level off.
Yes as i undertand it, if your kids test positive with the inaccurate positive flow test, you are not allowed or advised to get the more accurate PCR test, the schools have to abide by the rubbish flow test. This makes no sense unless it is to save money or not use testing capacity and all at the expense of school childrens education. Bizarre policy.Loads in my lads class got positive flow test - all negative on the proper tests but still cant go in school for ten days! What a load of bollox.
Agreed as I said before. Though I find admissions too cyclical so I use the raw total day to day as only Mondays seem to impact that. ~I don't think it will as the schools will keep testing. Key is hospital admissions and deaths.

Turns out the events being investigated on the AZ jab are massively higher in COVID victims.
So even if true (very unlikely), you'd still be far better off with than without the vaccine.
Won't the general pop figure will be over a lifetime whereas the AZ vaccine one will be pro rata over a much shorter period if I'm reading it correctly. It'd be impossible to calculate a similar AZ v Gen Pop figure for the same period.
I had the AZ 3 weeks ago so have no agenda and will be back when called for my second.
