COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Zubrman]

The 07:33 arrival into Central London had 153 people on it this morning, (not including me.) That's 15% capacity. Everyone was wearing a face covering.
This is another increase but less of one than it would have been, if it were not mid-holiday period.

Government web site has gone tits up, no updates since monday due to technical difficulties.

They can not even add the days figures to the previous days cumulative and get a correct answer.

Was anyone in Mary D’s for the Real Madrid game on Friday? According to this, someone who was has subsequently tested positive for it:

LMAO

No idea as we have no idea where the people on beaches are coming from. What we have seen is an increase in cases over the past couple of weeks though

Not really. If you were to look at the UCL and ONS weekly estimates, they’ve always been 2 or 3 times higher than reported. The government are now using the UCL data to target hotspots. More tests in the areas where there are more known infections will provide more positive cases, surprisingly enough.

Thanks for the info HP. Out of interest, where do you find the stats on French hospital admissions? Always worth looking elsewhere, particularly in neighbouring European countries for trends, so cheers for this.

Sorry, I don't follow the French hospital data. Not the time. It was reported in the UK Media what was happening and apparently their numbers have continued to go up today also. Though it did not specify in the reference today whether that was just another rise in cases or admissions too.

Of course, with an NHS health system we are notcost driven in the way many countries are so may well bring people in just in case with Covid for a brief assessment. That seems not uncommon with UK admissions rising early week and dropping over the next 48 hours, presumably as many of them do not need to stay in.

@Healdplace have you put all of your excellent daily updates into one place like an excel sheet? i am interested to see the timelines but from your analysis

Sadly I would have no clue how. I just write the data down and post it. My education predates the computer. Heck almost the wheel.

which was always going to be the case once lockdown was eased.

only way to not see increases is if everyone stays in their bedrooms and we close the country down

The overtly political posts have been moved to the thread about politics, please can we keep them in there.

 

[Healdplace]

If they just update the data once today it will mess up our tracking of that data a bit.

Hopefully not. But I am still baffled why they could not update yesterday's case numbers as those were out 16 hours ago and they can obviously update the site with text as they have twice added messages about why they are NOT adding anything.

So not putting onto there the new cases and test data theyclearly have access to is hard to fathom. But it still only shows the 816 from Monday not yesterdays 1148.
