ZOE APP NORTH WEST
GM Boroughs:-
BOLTON DOWN to 28, 265 FROM 28, 773 - this looks utterly crazy data as even though up a tad BL still had the best numbers in GM yesterday - so staying at the worst in the NW looks wrong
BURY UP to 7492 FROM 4962 - as neighbour Bury inches up but one of the lowest in GM. More true but scoring more than Bolton in the real cases.
MANCHESTER DOWN to 8869 FROM 9045 - Manchester still doing fine & pretty flat
OLDHAM DOWN to 6353 FROM 6974 - lowest here in the week and almost the lowest in GM.
ROCHDALE DOWN to 10, 577 FROM 11, 234 - High whilst neighbour OL is low
SALFORD UP A TAD TO 8070 FROM 7775 - fairly stable & low compared to a week or two back.
STOCKPORT UP a lot to 14, 281 FROM 10, 937 - worst numbers here in some weeks and now third highest behind Bolton and Wigan
TAMESIDE DOWN a little again to 6254 FROM 6349 - now best in GM
TRAFFORD another fall DOWN to 6822 FROM 7812 - just behind Tameside and has fallen a lot all week
WIGAN UP to 18, 837 FROM 16, 463 - only Bolton ahead of it now.
The thing to recall about these numbers is they are ongoing symptomatic cases so not meaning necessarily more cases now just in the recent past. It is trends not literal numbers or rises that matter here.
The actual definition of the number is Estimated Active Cases Per Million People.
So for instance Manchester has about 50% of that million population so those numbers with Covid are now (around 4300) whereas Stockport's lower population means it has just over a third of its number above - so in fact a pretty similar number in actual cases - just over 4000. Whereas Tameside the lowest scorer has a population just over one fifth of a million so its ongoing cases are really around 1400
OTHERS:-
Cheshire East still keeping perfect track with Stockport as it tends to do being neighbour boroughs - up to 12, 333 FROM 12 056 - again pacing neighbour though SK is back above it since yesterday.
Liverpool up slightly to 8372 FROM 7152
Sefton (Southport etc) on 15, 606 and neighbour West Lancashire on 15, 124 are also high.
The Blackpool area has fallen out of the high watch zone on just 5375
South Ribble (Preston area) on 21, 171 and Chorley on 17, 170 - just north of Bolton/Wigan, of course. are the only areas challenging the high numbers in GM right now.
