I am not sure I would trust a head teacher to be completely unbiassed.

Very sadly a teacher passed away recently at our children's school after "a short illness", as far as I know they were previously healthy. We were informed by the head teacher that it was definitely not due to Coronavirus since they had been tested 3 times while they were ill.

Make of that what you will but if they were tested 3 times it must have been suspected, perhaps they were only tested after the infectious stage.

Or may be they weren’t allowed in the hospital without a test in advance?
Mrs is having a operation next Tuesday so has to go in on Saturday for a test.
 
England hospital deaths 3 wks ago v 2 wks v last wk v today

225 / 80 NW v 300 / 114 NW v 330 / 87 NW v 353 / 71 NW today

% of NW wk to wk 36% v 38% v 26 % v 20% today

The same steady fall week to week in NW deaths we have been seeing every day for a couple of weeks now.
 
England hospital deaths other details:

101 deaths in the Midlands today and 80 - NE & Yorkshire.

35 also from the South East as cases rise down there too.

17 in Pennine and 13 East Lancashire most in NW hospitals.

Deaths by age 0 - 19 (1) , 20 - 39 (3), 40 - 59 (23), 60 - 79 (125), 80 + (201)
 
Scotland data is mixed today:

Deaths 41. Sadly up on last week.

Cases 771 - well down. At 8.6% positive.

1197 in hospital (-11)

84 on ventilator beds (unchanged).
 
Scotland 3 wks ago v 2 wks v last wk v today:

Deaths 28 v 39 v 37 v 41 today - is not great news tragically.

Cases 999 v 832 v 1248 v 771 today - a better path here.

Patients 1254 v 1239 v 1249 v 1197 today - is hopeful plateau and/or fall too.

Ventilators 92 v 102 v 95 v 84 today - obviously the high deaths are a factor but any fall over the weeks is good news.
 
i've just been sent a presentation, looks like IATA are developing a Travel Pass to confirm your covid status etc. Looks like we are entering an era of validation via health testing.

Also worthy of note, the % positive always seems higher on a Tuesday in comparison to the rest of the week, for whatever reason. Monday usually quite high too but not to the same extent, then it falls as the week goes on. Sorry, just a wee thing I've been noticing with the stats you post on here. Seems like a declining pattern which is good.

% positive tests

Tues 20th October -11.4%
Tues 27th October - 8.7%
Tues 3rd November - 10.3%
Tues 10th November - 9.5%
Tues 17th November - 9.7%
Today - 8.6%
 
N Ireland data is very odd today and they suspect they are under reporting and the real number is 2 or 3 times this. They are looking into a big drop in the Pillar 2 testing. But note that cases are down in many areas so they are not yet certain it is not real. But to be prepared if it is a glitch.

Think you will agree when you see the numbers!

Deaths 11

7 F/ 4 M aged 40 - 59 (1), 60 - 79 (2), 80 + (8)

Cases 79 (yes under 100!) (It was 331 and 280 in last 2 days for comparison). Will be first sub 100 UK nation total in many weeks if true.

Only 812 tests were carried out is the cause of the confusion. That is about a third of usual. So bet on this really being 200 + Which would still be very good of course.

IF true - 7 day rolling total is 2452. Down from 2955 yesterday.

Care Home outbreaks 142 - down 4 on yesterday.

Patients 445 (-4)

Ventilated 29 (-1)
 
England 353 hospital deaths in detail:

23 Nov adds 54 = 54 after 1 day (Last wk 45 were added)

22 Nov adds 162 = 201 after 2 days (Last wk 159 added = 195)

21 Nov adds 68 = 172 after 3 days (Last wk 72 added = 200)

20 Nov adds 41 = 243 after 4 days (Last wk 37 = 203).

19 Nov adds 15 = 267 after 5 days (Last wk 5 added = 244)


18 Nov adds 2 = 307 - the highest in wave 2 on a single day. 29 April was last time this many deaths occurred on one day in England hospitals.

17 Nov adds 3 = 277, 15 Nov adds 2 = 285, 14 Nov adds 2 = 259

Several other 1s were added back over past month - including 1 to the previous wave 2 peak on 9 Nov - now at 298.

Informed they were masked up.
The following tests were again delayed well over a week, meanwhile my partner became unwell and took another test, chased it up a few days later with the result being positive, another week later after contacting them again her mothers result from the previous test came back positive, a complete and utter shambles !

It is that,
 
Interesting suggestion from the Russians re the Oxford vaccine. I think they are implying that the increased effectiveness of the half first dose regime is down to an immune response to the first viral vector?

The first dose is a primer, it gets the immune system going and expecting to fight the virus off so the second dose works really well, a bit of a basic explanation but that is what was said on the news
 
Would be even better news it that's the case (more to go around).

On a side note, I'll just leave this here *runs away really quickly (tbf...I think this group is a Toby Young vehicle):

 
Talk about one extreme to another today.

All settings deaths tragically 608.

But cases - amazingly - big fall again to just 11, 299.

What is going on here???

That N Ireland 79 might even be true.
 
That said testing yet again is waaaay down.

Just 185, 317 pillar 1 & 2 tests.

That is HALF the 354 K tests done just 3 or 4 days ago.
