ZOE SUMMARY TODAY
DID NOT UPDATE ZOE YESTERDAY AS IT WAS LATE BUT HERE IS THEIR TAKE
NORTH WEST BACK NOT BEING OFFICIALLY THE WORST AREA IN THE UK AFTER ONE DAY
PREDICTED CASES UP A BIT AGAIN- But flat really ON 70, 098 UP by 105 FROM 69, 993 - AND FROM 69, 860 AND 69, 845 - in previous days
ONGOING INFECTIONS - 960, 838 UP FROM 958, 943 - smallest rise in weeks (just 1895) AFTER RISES OF 5509, 5390 & 5673 in past days .
As you see it is going VERY flat.
Today week to week it us up from 913, 526 - a weekly RISE of 47, 312 DOWN even from the day before when the weekly rise was 53, 619 - and WELL DOWN from the rise week to week of 61,427 the day before that.
So cases on Zoe are seemingly up slightly but slowing.
A week ago the week to week rise was 100, 593 - So this trend looks to have been very clearly falling.
Ongoing case numbers will lag daily cases as if you catch Covid you will be a Covid case for a week or two.
Trends are all we can really read into the constantly tweaked data on Zoe these days,
Current TOP THREE NUMBERS:-
EAST MIDLANDS BACK in top spot but DOWN ON 1130 / 1501 FROM 1134 / 1507
NORTH WEST now second after also going DOWN SLIGHTLY ON 1148 / 1477 FROM 1158 / 1490
WALES stays third but is UP ON 1077 / 1514 FROM 1054 / 1489
WEST MIDLANDS, NORTH EAST & YORKSHIRE are in 4th. 5th and 6th.
THIS IS THE ENTIRE TOP TIER WATCH ZONE
And SCOTLAND remains clearly the best - and the only one in the LOWEST watch zone - but UP slightly too on 567 / 845 FROM 558/ 836
NORTHERN IRELAND and all the southern regions form the middle watch zone and rising, ONLY the South West (at 959) is not into 4 figures now on its second measure as the numbers rise everywhere and are closer together.
REGIONALLY:-
In the NW they have both Liverpool down under 13K and St Helens UP on 12K ~
BUT Warrington fast shooting up and just under 20K as highest in that area. Warrington has been high for a while but has really accelerated in the past few days
You will notice Blackpool deaths have started to appear often AND the numbers from the Fylde coast are SHOOTING UP again today to some VERY high numbers - Fylde on 30, 106 & Wyre on 48, 273 - two of the highest in the region. And Wyre is one of the highest if not the highest in the UK I have ever seen. BIG TROUBLE HERE AS A LOT OF ELDERLY RETIRED PEOPLE LIVE IN THIS AREA.
Though the Lake District is now happily falling a lot Lancaster/Morecambe is still very high on 26K.
Cheshire East FALLS for fifth day running after several weeks of rises (on 15, 384 DOWN from 16, 266 and 17, 296 v Cheshire West UP on 19, 960 FROM 18, 544 and17, 098 -
Indeed Cheshire East well below its neighbour to the west and a big reversal here in past few days.
Moreover with Stockport going UP to its highest in a while yet again Cheshire East is now also BELOW Stockport for first time in over a month. Showing the big reversal in fortune of these two neighbour boroughs.
As for GM - Not a good day again for Stockport - up the most of all boroughs for second day running as others fall.
The GM order according to Zoe with to nearest K numbers is:-
Tameside DOWN to 25K, Trafford DOWN to 23K. Stockport THE biggest riser again today up to 19K. Its highest for weeks. Not boding well. Bolton up quite a bit too on 15K. With Salford just below on 15K too. And Manchester down a tad on 14 K. Wigan also rises to 14K. Bury though is up again into 13K only just behind Wigan now. Oldham has fallen for a week now and drops into the lower watch zone on 6727 and actually IS doing so in the real cases too. Indeed yesterday Oldham on Zoe overtook Rochdale to become best in GM as Rochdake fell only slightly to 6904. On the very day Oldham did indeed post the best day in GM in the real numbers. So Zoe got this spot on.
