Coronavirus (2021) thread

16m seems low, I'm sure I read that Az were supposed to have 40 million by end of 2020

Looks like they are behind on both UK and EU orders

GM Weekly Pop Scores after today:~

Borough / Score Today / Score 7 days ago / up or down wk to wk/ Testing is % of local population who have tested positive for Covid over past year.

As ever with Pop scores going up is bad, going down good - the higher the number the better or worse depending on direction moving. The Pop Score is total cases in past week versus 100,000 POPulation to even out the comparison versus size and expected cases based on numbers living there.





Tameside 125 / 110 / UP 15 Testing positive 7.9%

Oldham 120 / 97 UP 23 Testing positive 9.5%

Rochdale 120 / 89 / UP 31 Testing positive 9.4%

Bolton 113 / 102/ UP 11 Testing positive 8.8%

Manchester 103 / 82 / UP 21 Testing positive 9.4%

Wigan 101 / 98 / UP 3 Testing positive 8.7%

Salford 87 / 112/ down 25 Testing positive 8.8%

Bury 84 / 84 LEVEL Testing positive 8.9%

Stockport 81 / 78 / UP 3 Testing positive 7.0%

Trafford 58 / 37 / UP 21 Testing positive 6.8%


Salford still going well. Bury has levelled off again, Stockport almost back to falling. Others slowly readjusting but Rochdale, Manchester and Oldham still up quite a bit.

Trafford is too but starting to stabilise and has the advantage of being very low numbers anyway.


Weekly cases: Trafford - best in GM at 138.

Others Bolton 324, Bury 160, Manchester 576, Oldham 294, Rochdale 269, Salford 225, Stockport 240, Tameside 272, Wigan 334

This is interesting, EU, UK and US previously against this move, but if the US breaks ranks that would be significant.

HOSPITAL DATA


Headline:

UK patients fall more slowly than of late but mid 4000s. The Yorkshire jump up to more than last week seems an anomaly to be explained. Possibly an audit. UK ventilators drop to under 600 - down over 3400 in 9 weeks. And Numbers have hit a bit of stall. We need to see where this goes next week.


Regions:


Patient // Ventilators // change in past 24 hours and v last week


NE & Yorks UP 155 to 780 v 754 // down 6 to 82 v 95 *

* This is a very odd jump above last week. Suspect error or data rewrite of some sort here.

North West down 46 to 632 v 779 // down 4 to 75 v 89

Yorkshire does stand out. Even before schools returned cases across the East Midlands into South Yorkshire were edging up, against the trend elsewhere.

Whereas the South saw cases rise and fall rapidly, here in Sheffield we seem to have been seeing a consistent 100 cases a day since the start of the year (120 per 100,000). No significant growth, no decline. Six deaths in the last week isn't much above average, either.

Perhaps it's as simple as the more virulent variant finally reaching Yorkshire, as I can honestly say that people here seem to take Covid precautions as seriously as anywhere I've been in the last year.

Heard of plenty of people mixing indoors this weekend from teenagers to 50+. What the fuck is wrong with people, why are they all mixing, why are teenagers having house parties and why are their parents allowing it. Why is this country full of self entitled, selfish wankers?

When you allow garden gatherings and pub gardens to open, it’s one massive booze fest - indoor mixing is inevitable- next few weeks is a massive test on the vaccine outcome

This is a large reason why many EU/US companies do not seek approval in China. Can't see it happening as it would set an awful example. Patent protection and exclusivity is the only offset to the exorbitant development costs.

Moderna vaccine available soon.

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.

Have you had your vaccine yet.
