It does beggar belief. Does it really mean that London is Covid free. Are the numbers true? Its not even the weekend when you might expect small numbers. Will be interesting to see what the next few days brings.

I don't know how they define London but Barnet has not had a day with zero hospital admissions. Admittedly, only 2 or 3 a day for the past week or so. The hospital serves Barnet and West Enfield, so serves around 450k

They’ve been declining here in Scotland the last 2-3 weeks. Just 113 new cases today and 21 deaths. Two weeks ago midweek daily figures were about 300 cases 70/80 deaths. ICU now at 50 from 200 and hospital about 1300 from around 2000.
I don't doubt they are declining.
My observation is that the overall cases per million population throughout the epidemic is higher in many Scotish regions e.g. Greater Glasgow and Clyde (3.268k) than Brent (2.548k) the original Coronavirus hotspot and home of Wembley.
Now, I admit that we're doing a hell of a lot more testing now than we used to do, but with the lock down, cases in Brent dried up at a quicker rate than further north and the dry up rate seems to have swept north sort of following the average temperate going above 13 degrees. Corolation I know but interesting nonetheless.
This may mean a return of the virus at the end of October. Going , north to south this time.
 
Everything's OK now the south have it under control. That's the way this country works, all the money is spent on London & the South East, they do let us work hard, earning money for the southern investors though, so it's OK.
Yeah it does feel that all the attention has been on london,understandably though but still trying to force schools open every where and not on a regional basis didn't seem right
 
Malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, which U.S. President Donald Trump says he has been taking, is tied to increased risk of death in COVID-19 patients, according to a study published in medical journal Lancet.
The study, which observed over 96,000 people hospitalized with COVID-19, showed that people treated with the drug, or the closely related drug chloroquine, had higher risk of death when compared to those who had not been given the medicine

Hopefully no one tells donald.
 
Is there anyone that can explain this:

"There is a time lag in the data though, with the R number released today relating to what was happening two to three weeks ago."

I understand they say you can have symptoms anywhere up to 14 days, but the number for most people is generally less. How can you make a decision for the now when your data is not current? The R number could fucking be anything right now..
