COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Healdplace]

Todays new cases (should be England's new cases as they are nearly all from here) are the highest since 1 July.

 

[Healdplace]

Latest UK hospital in patients are for 9 July at 2172 - down from 2250 on 8 July. We will see if these now start to go up. Could be critical as to whether today is a blip or becomes more.

Ventilator bed patients still showing as 3 up from Thursday at 191 as of yesterday.

There may be a little spike from the pubs opening as on the first day some people probably got a bit over excited(the media labelling it "super saturday" didn't help) and were so glad to be in a pub they didn't take much notice of social distancing etc. You'd like to think once everything settled down over the following few days people were a bit more sensible.

Today's higher death figure must surely be a one off though, without looking at the figures I dont remember there being any significant spike in cases 2 to 3 weeks ago, and its surely too early yet for deaths to have any connection to pubs opening.

Leicester went up a little to 49 btw. Run now 62 59 56 37 77 72 74 39 49

Not suggesting lockdown is as yet fully resolving things.

The next few days will tell Hopefully you are right.

Off to watch the match. Back tomorrow.

The GM scoreboard is not as bad as feared. It seems the NW spikes are occurring around Blackburn and East Lancashire and are on the national watch list in case they become a lockdown threat. Though Bradford is currently vying for this first.

Bolton 7 (down from 10, total of 67 over the 9 days)

Bury 3 (up from 1, total 23 over the 9 days)

Manchester 13 (up from 10, 103 over the 9 days)

Oldham 5 (seems to have stabilised and 62 over the 9 days)

Rochdale 9 (down from 12, still the hot spot but 62 over the 9 days)

Salford 7 (down from 12, 41 over the 9 days)

Stockport 4 (up from -1 and highest in 8 days. 21 over the 9 days)

Tameside 5 (up from 4, 33 over the 9 days)

Wigan 3 (down from 4, 23 over the 9 days)

What is Warrington looking like? been falling for a while now and relatively low last time I heard.

The 820 cases come from 160. 970 tests.

Seven days ago we had 67 deaths and 624 cases (quarter less) from 205, 673 tests.

So with the 18 deaths apparently added from Thursday and now the above there is some reason to be a little concerned.

Starting to see the effects of the mass protests that were trying place across England 3-4 weeks ago maybe. Haven't hospital numbers continued to drop? If so it's hopefully just an anomoly rather than a sign of anything to worry about. See where we are this time next week.

Always good to wait and see if any sort of pattern develops (hopefully not). Said the same when Scotland posted unusually high figure of 18 new infections yesterday and thankfully that was back down to 7 today. Hopefully the same sort of results in relative terms for England tomorrow and the following few days.

What a surprise!

Which one, the guy killed in the street, the caravans or the covid.
