Coronavirus (2022) thread

Inclined to think falling positive tests is likely due to us in partly switching from individuals self-selecting on the basis of risk of carrying infection (displaying symptoms, close contact with infected individuals), to testing entire cohorts, schoolkids and essential workers.

NHS leader I heard earlier on suggested they were working on the assumption that the wave would not peak for another two weeks. Actual modelling used by the NHS has been pretty reliable so far.

178,250 cases - down both day to day and week to week

149,405 in England - also down both on day and week

229 deaths up from 203 last week

England up 178 to 193 on week

1,811,239 pillar 1 & 2 tests - down over 200K on yesterday but UP 316 K on last week.

Quite encouraging numbers.

Looks like it could be levelling off especially in England. I know loads of people with it currently.

thatis what i suspected, but tests have stayed roughly the same and PCR testsing has actually increased.

should charge them. These people are making it worse for everyone!
 
Very good hospital data in England too

Admissions down week to week for first time in a while (2370 to 2139 - these are 48 hours behind the other data which is otherwise today)

Patients up just 105 (on 16,163) lowest all week and much less than the rise of 943 last Friday (when it was 12,395).

Modest rises even in North West (up 20) and fall for second day running in London. Midlands has actually overtaken North West as the second highest patients (up 234 in past 48 hours to 2943 - no surprise given it being the region now rising the most proportionately in cases).

And ventilated patients down almost everywhere (London 242 to 224, North West 97 to 93) and in total from 762 to 728 lowest in some time (28 October). They have been fairly steady or gradually falling for weeks not rising despite Omicron numbers. Possibly the best news of all.
