COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Tue R figures are 12 days old as I said in my post

Yes saw that after I posted. Still even 12 days ago ,Scotland was around 20-30 new cases daily down from 40-50 a week before that.

N Ireland records ZERO new cases from 995 tests. That was on Saturday

England hospital deaths 20 - with just 3 from yesterday. It was 28 this time last week with 6 of them from the day before.

The all settings total became 38 later that day,

Sunday figures of course - always lower - but still very good.

Only 4 of the 20 deaths were from the NW.

That 20 is another new low since the very start of the pandemic.

And in the last 9 days now there have been only 2 on the day death totals above single figures. The run from 13 June is 4, 6, 11, 8, 13, 2, 6, 7, 3

More on todays England hospital data. Just caution a little that the Sunday factor does apply here to past days reporting too.

But there were NO add ons for any dates between 24 May and 18 June.

So Saturday 20 June rose by 11 to 18 and the third day total for Friday 19 June rose by just 3 to 25.

The fourth day total for 18 June stays at 36 and the fifth day total for 17 June stays at 42.

The previous days have also moved by very little in recent days and June 13 is still at 38, June 14 at 55, June 15 and June 16 both at 50.

Wales 1 new death. 71 new cases. Down from 100 yesterday.

N Ireland no new deaths and just one new case.

So that is just 21 new hospital deaths today. Which will again be a new UK low figure.

These deaths at UK hospitals were last at a similar level in mid March pre lockdown. When hospital deaths were all we were announcing.

And just 91 new cases from the 3 nations outside of England.

All settings death total just 15. 6 less than the hospital total. And really positive news.

It was 38 this time 7 days ago. Needless to say the lowest in a very long time even with the Sunday
factor.

New cases from positive tests also went below 1000 for first time. To 958.

From 139. 659 tests. So that is down quite a bit. But breaking that barrier will get a lot of coverage from the media.

Good, but let's hope getting below (and then some!) that 1,000 barrier becomes the norm for the new infections and the rolling 7 day average starts to show a real decline.

It's quite frustrating watching people conclude that because there's been no notable spike in infections due to the protests, then therefore we're all fine to go outside and carry on as normal. If you look at the photos from the protests, the one thing that stands out is that the majority of people are wearing masks. They actually are! Surely that's the conclusion - that mask wearing actually works, even when stood dead close to someone. Not 'everyone can clearly go outside and be fine regardless'.

I'm going to guess all those using the protests as an example of why lockdown is no longer necessary don't plan to wear a mask, funnily enough. They're selectively concluding things by using only half of the evidence available.

Anyone pre-ordered masks from the City website? You’ve got to give it these football teams, they don’t miss a trick

If it helps, there are scientists at the very top who think opposing views. I've seen people at Oxford Uni and Harvard discussing this in a more positive light. These people aren't any less intelligent. I'm not saying they're right, and he isn't, but its something to consider. We simply don't know yet is the most accurate appraisal. I'm clinging onto the fact that a person's likelihood of dying if they catch it today is a lot less than it was a few months ago. We're learning how to treat it better every single day.

Pretty positive for you that mate, lol.
