The protests today were in three main cities, in Athens, in Syntagma Square in front of the Parliament, Thessaloniki, and Heraklion, in Crete. It generally consisted of those opposed to the idea of being ‘forced’ to be vaccinated or losing their ‘rights‘ (i.e. entry into recreational and cultural venues).

That figure for those aged 0-14 is frustratingly constant, no? One would have thought that the schools closing might have had an impact on that by now.
 
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 694 / 568 / UP 126 Testing positive 12.2%

Rochdale 657 / 488 / UP 169 Testing positive 12.1%

Wigan 605 / 516 / UP 89 Testing positive 11.5%

Salford 570 / 477 / UP 93 Testing positive 11.8%

Trafford 532 / 480 / UP 52 Testing positive 9.3%

Tameside 530 / / 426 / UP 104 Testing positive 10.2%

Manchester 529 / 503 / UP 26 Testing positive 12.5%

Stockport 475 / 352 / UP 123 Testing positive 9.1%

Bury 457 / 368 / UP 89 Testing positive 11.4%

Bolton 371 / 301 / UP 70 Testing positive 12.4%



Oldham and Rochdale well up top now. Oldham tomorrow could be first GM borough with a 700 Pop Score in near on a year. Bolton never got above 456 at its peak in this wave you might recall putting into context,

Not only is Oldham far ahead of that but today BOTH Stockport and Bury topped the highest number Bolton has had in this wave.

So only Bolton is better today than Bolton was when this all started.

Yet everyone will remember Bolton and nobody will even realise the above!

Wigan, Salford and Trafford all up in the 500s now after some big recent numbers.



Stockport LOST 4 points on on its overall Pop Score lead over Trafford to now only be 175 ahead of Trafford.

Stockport up 79 - its highest in months - to 9130 - and Trafford up by 75 - to reach 9301.

The rate these two are going their stay as the only two under the 10K club in GM may not see out July

Bolton up 61 to 12, 369. The lowest Pop Score rise today again If 61 is low.

Manchester up 81 - now on 12, 495 .

Rochdale up 92 just - on 12, 112

Alongside Oldham - who went up 101 - now on 12, 214.

Salford rose by 86 to 11, 789.

Bury up 82 to 11, 432 - so lost some of its lead over Stockport. Shows how case numbers can be misleading as it had many fewer cases but is a smaller borough so it was still a worse day here than Stockport.

Wigan up by a staggering 112 to 11, 487.


With Tameside a lso crashed the 100 Pop Score in a day limit today - very rare here - up 103 to 10,170.

The key message to take from those numbers which I will repeat as I suspect most will never wade through all that data in the post.

AS OF TODAY - Every single borough in Greater Manchester - bar one - is HIGHER in their Pop Score than Bolton was even at its worst a couple of months ago when it was on the national news daily.

Nobody will probably now remember the fact that the ONLY borough not higher than Bolton ever reached when it was on everyone's lips is as of today Bolton itself.

ALL the other 9 are above its peak as of today when Bury and Stockport climbed above 456.

The only real positive is that the growth rate isn’t increasing too much. I suspect we’re in for a few colossal weeks of cases. We’ve got to hope that hospitals can cope and the death rate continues to be low.

Maybe a bit, but still almost half the numbers of the 15-24 range I suppose. I'd guess the numbers gets lower amongst the 0-14 age range as you work down from 14, a lot of kids socialising etc even though not at school.

Sainabury's has done **** all to enforce mask wearing. Complain and you're the one they chuck out not the Anti-masker.
To ask customers to continue to wear masks is classic virtue Signaling - Do as I say not as I do.

Enjoy the next year or so window licking at pubs and restaurants from the outside and forget about travel because Vaccine passports will become even more of a thing, fair play if you want to die on your anti vax hill though.

I can add another issue to that list, as an employer would you want to employ non vaccinated people in a company. I dont, so i will be asking potential interviewees their stance, non vaccinated and their CV is in the bin from now on.

My other half has done two volunteering stints at two sites in the past two days. She said that they have been really busy with people at one site queueing down the road. She has been volunteering for a couple of months now and said these last two times were the busiest sessions so far.
 
Going to be some very high numbers soon, I tested positive yesterday I'm unjabbed but the only symptom I have is loss of taste and smell, 4 more people who I watched the match with on Sunday in the pub who were all jabbed have also tested positive and there all bed bound and really unwell all young as well I'm guessing there will be alot more cases from that pub.
I tested myself Fri sat and sun last week leading up to the final and it was negative each day so looks like someone has spread it in the pub, Also there was bar service in the pub and no social distancing so I don't think that'd of helped so once all restrictions end they will soon be back.

Hope you all feel better soon mate. On the flip side, I've had the Moderna vaccine and my partner had Pfizer (both double jabbed), and so far we've managed to avoid contracting the virus from our son (fingers crossed). Not much consolation to you admittedly, but hopefully a sign that the vaccines can help reduce transmission.

Looks like I spoke too soon. My partner has now tested positive, and I'm guessing it's only a matter of time before me and my daughter do too.
 
I am starting to wonder how this Winter will go.

Up to now we have been reasonably aiming for vaccinating all who want to be jabbed, then an annual booster and life back to normal. But if we are in the mess we are now as one of the most vaccinated nations on Earth in Summer and variants either cannot or will not be stopped from coming in and it appears you can catch this thing multiple times it is hard to see an end game.

We may have to face permanent changes and mass cases and deaths in the waves up to the arrival of the Zeta variant and beyond as they come one by one for years. Not a thought anyone wants to entertain.

It is pretty obvious we are only opening up now because getting this wave over in what is left of the Summer is the best of two bad options - the other being delaying it into months when the NHS would struggle with a big wave atop everything else it has in Winter,

What I think we need to know is where is the end game with this virus? We seem to be aware it is not just going away like the Spanish Flu burnt out after 2 years.

How do we bring society back to a place that lives with a permanent pandemic? Or is there some other option we are buying time to move towards?
What we need is hope of the real end in sight
