Other watch areas

Blackburn & Darwen 10 - run of 12, 12, 6, 10 is a little better. After being at least double this when entering restrictions (Manchester and Oldham sadly not following suit). Pop score 1134

Bradford 49 - up from 25, 24 last 2 days. But a little down on start of lockdown. Pop score 1072.

Leicester 25 - a little up after run of 21 and 17 - but has steadily fallen week on week from well over 100 when entering lockdown. Manchester etc has to get to this place to be eased in the way Leicester now has. Pop score 1542.

Who can get a test
You can get a test:

  • for yourself, if you have coronavirus symptoms now (a high temperature, a new, continuous cough, or a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste)
  • for someone you live with, if they have symptoms
  • if you live in England and have been told to have a test before you go into hospital, for example, for surgery
  • if your local council asks you to get a test
This service is for people in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
 
The weekly map for up to 14 August has appeared and far more of GM is now marked out than used to be true.

Alexandra Park (Oldham) at 44 new cases has the worst UK record this week. With one exception (see below).

Werneth nearby at 33 is second worst.

Salem had 22 also in this badly hit town.

Wardleworth at 17 was worst in Rochdale.

Little Harwood (Blackburn) 30 and Toller Lane (Bradford) 30 not far behind the mess that Oldham is in.

Elsewhere in GM Higher Boughton at 17 is up there too with Salford University helping to spike that City unsurprisingly with 10 last week.

Crumpsall South had 12

Old Trafford and Firswood had 10 each.

Fallowfield & Whalley Range had 11 - indeed almost every area in Manchester had about 10 or 11 - such as Eastlands, Piccadilly, Ardwick and Belle Vue. Levenshulme had 24 across the North and South of it with Burnage.


Stockport's issues were driven by Adswood and Norris Bank (both at 5 and not in the past have these been hot spots - though 5 is not a big number to qualify as one). With Woodbank and Woodsmoor both at 4 also showing up for first time. But plenty of other places feature such as Hazel Grove and Portwood with just 3 cases each.

You need to reach 3 cases to even show up on the map and you get a darker and darker colour the more over that you go.

Moulton in Northampton had the blackest area seen so far in any week at 208 cases! This was a big outbreak at the M & S sandwich packing factory.

Nowhere in the Leicester area had more than 21 cases.

And nowhere south of Northampton any significant numbers. Plenty of London boroughs with 3/4/5 like Stockport but none with the 10/11 of Manchester let alone the 20/30 of Oldham boroughs.

Why would you want a test of you didn't think you had it and were showing some kind of symptom or been in contact with someone who has it? If you were just curious and pretended you had no sense of smell I doubt they will come knocking to validate it.

Cases sadly back up today. To 1089. Highest since the 1441 last week.

Whilst your data is very welcome you do need a bit of context around some of your narrative. Without a vaccine there is absolutely no chance of you ever reporting that ‘today there were zero new cases’, so cases staying at around the same levels for about 2 months now, must be good news not sad news. More targeted testing of likely positive patients but still finding similar numbers is also good news. The absolute panic about people marching, out on beaches and even going to pubs is not translating into increases in cases nor, much more importantly, increases in deaths or hospitalisation even in the lockdown ‘hotspots’.

Because of being asymptomatic!
