UK deaths over the 3 day weekend are 169 V 135 last weekend.

England only 127 V 125 - so a rise but not by much at all.

Just 13 of those deaths were in the NW. The most were 29 in the South West.

Only NW and South West reported over all three days this weekend, Not unusual.

There are signs of a small rise in deaths week to week but it is still very small and nothing like past waves,

The vaccines are working well. But 93 of the weekend deaths were aged over 80 and only 9 were under 60. Just 1 under 40.
 
Hospital numbers:-

Scotland has a new record high for patients in hospital across the whole pandemic on 2128 patients - up from 2050 Friday and 1805 last Monday.

There are 31 on ventilators V 27 last Monday.

Wales has 804 patients at latest count V 661 last week and 16 on ventilators V 13 last week

N ireland has 484 patients - falling slowly - wa 570 last week. BUt after staying on 0 ventilators for 4 days there are now 2 here.

Though as you see the patient to ventilator numbers remain thankfully low hence deaths are not escalating much with patient numbers.

England hospital numbers over the weekend are a bit up week to week but not drastically

Friday was 11,595 patients - today 12,753 - a rise of 1158 over the weekend and up 2177 from last Monday's 10,576

Last week's rise was 1207 over the weekend - so slightly down this weekend - and up 1653 week to week

Every region is up over the weekend - Midlands the most (215). North West up (by136) from 1625 to 1761

Ventilators as is common rose a bit today but over the weekend up just from 240 to 252 V 239 last Monday.

Again these are low and staying low so why deaths are not escalating as patient numbers rise.

If you’re fully jabbed and in reasonable health then I wouldn’t be giving a shit personally, firm believer in needing some natural immunity as well and if this can be gained whilst it’s a lesser variant then just chill and get on with life as normal.

I largely agree, but I wouldn't say "get on with life as normal", as that helps the spread of it to others, partly the reason why it's gone daft again, and somewhere along the way that could be to someone vulnerable, so take sensible precautions, and remember that you are most infectious before you test positive.
 
What are the rules now on being pinged by the app saying you have been near someone who tested positive for covid?

My understanding is it’s up to that individual what they do. Get Covid it’s up to you if you want to go to work! The government has give that responsibility to us!

Today's Zoe graph. As you can see the cases are still rising in what looks like a steep upward climb.

Though there are hints that the daily increase is maybe starting to tail off.

Predicted new cases today are another record at 338,837 - but that rise is up just 6243 on yesterday V 7650 Wednesday from Tuesday & V 8942 from Monday to Tuesday & 10,878 Sunday to Monday.

Ongoing symptomatic cases are the highest they have ever been in the pandemic on 3,734,316 - up from 2,820,130 last week - one of the highest weekly jumps ever but whilst the weekly case rise is still going up it is starting to hint at a slowdown too. But will be a few days behind the daily cases measure, of course.

Regionally North West is now the highest region outside of the south - 5th from 12.

With South West, London, South East and East in that order ahead of them.

North East though rising still is 12th out of 12.

Scotland seems to be starting to level off and is down a bit today.

Everywhere ekse is going up but London has also started to slow right down and North West had a smaller rise than of late today too.

Merseyside and Cheshire East and West are all still above most of Greater Manchester but almost all boroughs in the ten in GM are still edging up.

Trafford and Stockport are still the two with the highest weekly Pop Scores - 831 and 786 but Stockport over the past few days has shown some suggestion of the rise slowing after weeks as the highest and now falling behind Trafford.

Oldham on 422 has the lowest GM pop score. Twelve days ago that would have been the highest,

Been in the same room and car with family with Covid and not caught it. Probably safer to stay in the pub just in case.

Is the a guesstimate as to how many people have had Covid in the U.K. so far?

I doubt it as they only just recently started adding reinfections as new cases and many will have had it several times by now.

The Zoe numbers are just new daily reported cases so you could kind of add them up and they would be more accurate than the gov UK total across the pandemic - but that Gov UK number is 20,515,998 (as of today) - almost a third of the UK population. And Zoe did not start operating until some time into the pandemic

The true UK number will be nearer half the population I suspect. As there will be millions who had it and never knew as they did not get tested.

Thanks HP, informative as per usual.
 
UK reported cases today are 98,204 - it was 89,717 last Thursday. That under 10% rise matches Zoe showng a slowing of the increase. Last week it was up from 71,259 - around a 25% increase and week before 45,656 - - so a rise of over 50%.

England only today 79,373 - down from 85,916 yesterday & up from 75,681 last week - so an even smaller % rise of only 5%. Week before it was 52,722 - up just under 50% & week before up from 32,858 - around 60% rise,

So things are defenitely levelling off.

These are NOT testing related by the way, Tests were actually hgher the past two weeks t the two weeks before - from 670 K, 730 K to 792K past two weeks.

Hospital numbers everywhere are up and as I posted last week Scotland at highest ever.

2322 today - up 65 on the day - lower than lately & up week to week 284 - also down on recent weekly rises.

More importantly the ventilator numbers - though rising a little - are still low - 26 today V 31 last week
 
Wales patients are well up too - 932 V 740 last week (up 20 today) Not a record but highest since Febrary 2021.

But again ventilatirs on 13 are low - exactly the same as last week When patients were last 932 13 months ago these were at 51 - four times as many.

That is rhe difference across the UK.
