I know plenty of fitter people than me who had it worse than me. Also heard of one who died as well. Anyone who says they trust their body to deal with it hasn’t got a fucking clue what they’re talking about.

Exactly this all fucking day long.
These ‘cakes’ have been well & truely duped by their online paranoia porn merchants/algorithms.

I’ve not been ill for years mainly in part because I keep myself fit (running, gym etc).
Covid floored me and three months on I struggle to lift a bag of shopping upstairs.

The party is over for the flat earthers.

What was it that you think my post was implying ?

just pointing out reopening of pub gardens and house gardens is going to result in a lot of household mixing - we are likely to see a sharpe rise in cases but I pray the vaccines will have taken affect in keeping hospitalisations down and deaths down and we don’t have to go through another lockdown again.

As more restrictions get lifted, there will probably be a rise in cases but I’m optimistic that we’ve gotten far enough ahead of the curve on the vaccination front for it not to be a major issue. Hospitalisations, ICU numbers, and deaths are the most important indicators and all those continue to plummet. 70 deaths yesterday and that was still with 17 days to go before pub beer gardens are open. We could be looking at close to single digit daily death figures in 2 or 3 weeks time. No guarantees obviously, but I look at the data day after day that @Healdplace posts and I increasingly think that the key dates in the roadmap out of lockdown look like very good calls.

doesnt matter is cases rise if the majority of the adult population is vaccinated. The vaccine data proves this. Im pretty sure there wont be another lockdown.
 
Northern Ireland data now up:

2 death - was 0 last week

138 cases - was 159 last week

71% positivity - was 8.4% last week

Weekly running cases total 1066 - was 1061 yesterday and 1085 last week

6 care home outbreaks - same as yesterday - was 8 last week

130 patients - down 13 on yesterday - was 156 last week

10 ventilator icu - same as yesterday - was 16 last week
 
Another reason for the Gov UK delay was caused by 850 cases - mostly from Yorkshire recently - being wrongly added as positive when they were void instead - we are told btw.

4715 cases and 58 all settings deaths as a result I assume as the Yorkshire cases all come from the past few days and those are likely why in those few days it has beaten the North West!

Today’s positivity figure not good, that’s worrying.

We’ve already seen case numbers no longer dropping yet the deaths are still on a downward trajectory. As you say, hopefully now that nearly all the most vulnerable have been vaccinated, even if case rates rise there won’t be a significant impact on death rates and we can get back to some sort of normality sooner rather than later.

There is a lot of testing going on, particularly recently in schools. That might be affecting the daily rate.

Punched the air when I saw that 4,715, the same way I do when Liverpool concede at home again.
 
AS I noted above Unicorn but now been able to look closely at the data it seems mostly the North East (and just a few from Yorkshire too) that were removed today.

Yorkshire is well down but North East down so much it has a MINUS number. At - 576 - so I would say nearly all the 850 came from here as it normally gets about 250 on a normal day.

Yorkshire still clocked up more than the North West today - despite being over 300 lower than last few days. But not by much as North West fell only by 99 to 668 - though that week to week is down from 770 last Saturday.

The number today really was higher I presume - around 5300/5400 - as these cases were counted as minus today it appears from the running NE score.

Though I am guessing here. I only know it was a minus number as I know the total it had yesterday versus the one it has today. And todays number is lower.

It actually will have had some cases today obviously - just fewer by several hundred than those deducted - hence its total going down.

So I am playing safe and assuming the mid 5000s number not the mid 4000s one for the real case total today.

Saw your earlier comment thanks @Healdplace but I'm not sure if that means the new cases reported today (4,715, very good) has been netted down by that 850 case error and is really 5,565 (still OK).

I would expect the adjustment to be made against the cumulative case numbers, rather than today's figure, but you never can tell.

No not saying that at all.
They should stop giving that hypocritical wanker Ferguson air time for starters. The man's an idiot whose predictions have proved to be consistently incorrect over the past few months and on previous illnesses.
Its staggering how he keeps being asked his opinion.
