GM Weekly Pop Data after today:~

Borough / Pop Today / 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 going up is bad, going down good - the higher the number the better or worse depending on direction moving. The Pop 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.


Oldham 48 / 66 Down 18 Testing positive 9.7%

Rochdale 42 / 67 / Down 25 Testing positive 9.5%

Manchester 39 / 64 / Down 25 Testing positive 9.5%

Bolton 34 / 60 / Down 26 Testing positive 9.0%

Wigan 30 / 49 / Down 19 Testing positive 8.8%

Salford 28 / 36 / Down 8 Testing positive 8.9%

Trafford 20 / 38 / Down 18 Testing positive 6.9%

Stockport 19 / 51 / Down 32 Testing positive 7.1%

Bury 18 / 46 / Down 28 Testing positive 9.0%

Tameside 16 / 60 / Down 44 Testing positive 8.1%


Three boroughs - Bury, Stockport and Tameside with a weekly Pop under 20 is unprecedented in GM. With Trafford only just out on 20 even more so.

Tameside's amazing score of just ONE case today claims the current best Pop in GM title too. But it is a genuine battle now as is the lowest case score in GM. Several boroughs very close.

The case drop readjustment is looming in 2 days though so it may not last long! Though impact will not be great as falls carried on after that day last week mitigating any real problem when the comparator is a minus number. It will be a one day jump upward hopefully.

Oldham and Rochdale - the two who drove the wave in the past but levelled right off are back having issues (the number of times I mention Pennine Acute hospital having x deaths in the England hospital data is a legacy of them being relatively still an issue with cases).

Be interesting to know if there is high non acceptance of vaccination in these communities. It seems a possibility based on demographics.

Pennine Acute is actually 4 hospitals, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale and North Manchester (Crumpsall)

Indeed and with Bury doing so differently it does suggest demographic differences might be a factor.

Though the numbers are only high relative to the rest of GM and in truth are not really worth anyone worrying over.
 
India reported a record 200,000 new cases, as many hospitals treating coronavirus patients reported severe shortages of beds and oxygen supplies.

The surge was the seventh record daily increase in the last eight days and comes as the country battles a massive second wave of infections that has its epicentre in the state of Maharashtra, home to Mumbai - which has entered lockdown.

India reported 200,739 new cases over the last 24 hours, according to official data released today.

Have you tried to avoid milk products to see if it helps? Not just milk in it's bottled form. I had diarrhoea (not covid related) a few years ago. After that, I lost a lot of weight. Didn't seem to go away. Turned out the diarrhoea led to me becoming lactose intolerant. Weirdly, butter was a big issue even though milk content was fairly low.

If you are getting a lot of wind, try charcoal tablets (with plenty of water) and camomile tea (even though it is disgusting).

I do hope your doc has thin fingers. The person I went to see had the fattest fingers I had ever seen. Bit uncomfortable, to say the least.

Cheers. We have lactose free milk at home - more for the other half's sake - but at work it's normal milk. Like I said, the issue has clearly gone up a notch in the past couple of months so it could be Long Covid related as the timeline would fit, but I've got a telephone appointment with the doctor this morning and hopefully we can rule out the most ominous cause first and take it from there.
