COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Bollox this is a PHE problem.

We're in exactly the same situation this end. One kid in another class tested positive, all year 6 classes sent home on Friday for 2 weeks. We're lucky enough that we can both work from home but I know other parents who have been completely screwed for the next two weeks by this.

Yes, so ill thought out by the Local Authority. No wonder people are getting tested when they dont have symptoms?

I understand the changes can be confusing but we all have access to Google if unsure. Not understanding, if you are a business, is unforgivable though especially when huge fines exist. If it was my business I would be double, triple checking it to make sure.

It's a local in the arse end part of East London. These boozers are a law to themselves

i know. the whole thing is beyond a joke, but, as the saying goes, vote in clowns you get a circus

If you can believe any of the numbers it looks like the casedemic has been doubling every 10 days or so and that 12000 cases first happened on Sept 30th. Let’s see if we’re up to 24000 by October 9/10th, and then let’s compare hospital and ITU ADMISSIONS.

Did they once sack you?

Any retrospective add ons in that number of cases mate?
If not it's a bit scary.

I do not think there are a lot now as 12,000 is about where we will be at based on the data we got last night that someone posted here as a graph.

But as cases can take days to process a few extra ones from the catch up will be added but I suspect we now have had the bulk of the missing data and less still will be added as days go by.

Also they have taken down the notice on the site referring to the add on data impavting the numbers (it was up there a day or two and was there an hour ago) so I take that as meaning they think this is done. And we are now seeing the true numbers.

Regional scoreboard:

London 989 - down from 1965 but about double where it was three or four days ago (497)

MIdlands 906 - down from 1644 but just under double where it was (around 500 avg) a few daus ago.

Yorkshire/NE 2194 - down from 3606 - but triple where it was (around 700 avg) a few days ago.

As for the virus central - aka the North West: 3166 - down from 6742 yesterday so the largest fall of all the regions. But compares with the avg before the data was added a few days ago which was around 2000.

So pro rata - even though 3166 looks horrific compared with before the data started to be added to now - I would say the NW has come out of this with a larger drop to the 'new normal' than the other regions.

THere will still be some scary numbers in this 'new normal' from GM that we will have to get used to mind you.

Putting each test as a spreadsheet column?
Transferring data as a CSV or Excel spreadsheet is bad enough but to put to use columns rather than rows?
Which idiot designed this system?
My mistake it wasn't designed it was thrown together one day by someone who didn't know what they were doing at PHE.
The feeds come from the NHS, PHE labs and Serco. PHE then collates and distributes the data.
I despair.

Sorry mate I havent followed this that closely, but how was the data 'lost' ? Did someone just not copy cells across??

As we've discussed, I am paying zero interest in the number of cases. The ICU admissions and death rate is doing pretty much exactly what I was expecting. Gone up a little, but zero signs that we're looking at anything even remotely like what happened earlier on the year, nevermind the disastrous second wave we were all warned about.

Excel spreadsheets have a limit on how much information they can hold. Someone didn't take this into account when filling them full of data.

Thanks, Oh i see, I assume Excel doesnt tell you this then while you are inputting the data??

No prizes for guessing why they haven’t been cancelled yet:

Because it's the most wonderful time of the year?

People are not getting to icu or dying because we now know how to treat it , comparing it to the start is useless, we were firefighting a brand new virus with multi organ failure we werent expecting , this is a new wave under different circumstances as we know more , i know you are a denier but at least be sensible, the numbers are going up significantly and we are headed into winter

This disease is so much more than just masaged death numbers anyway

Meanwhile the usual amount of death from everything else goes on unabated and unreported.

honestly, i don't use excel as a mode of data storage/transport as it's shite, so i wouldn't know, but I know that is what caused the problem

'a denier'. that's next level bullshit.

Sadly the hospital data is concerning.

England Covid patients have risen by 264 in one day. The most in a long while. To total 2593. Seven days ago it was 1883.

Ventilators now 331 - up from 310 in the day. Seven days ago it was 245.

Not great news.

A voice of reason! Enough to top yourself this thread.
