COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Hospital data update

N Ireland 12 patients (was 17). Ventilators 1 (was 3).

Wales 38 patients (was 36). Ventilators 9 (was 10).

Scotland 267 patients (was 256). Ventilators 6 (was 5).

England 519 patients (was 537), Ventilators 64 (was 62).


So UK numbers are 836 patient was 846 yesterday. And ventilators are 80 (was 80)

Compared v last week it was 805 - so an increase of 31 patients Wales and Northern Ireland have a small number LESS in hospital, Scotland has 3 more. And England has 47 more in today than a week ago. Pretty much all of that rise is in the NW.

Ventilators a week ago were 82 - so we are down 2 but England is up 5.

Regionally in England day to day East England down 2 patients to 25, South East down 6 to 44, South West down 1 to 11, London UP 2 to 94, Midlands up 1 to 96 and Yorkshire down 14 to 83.

The North West again saw a rise from 164 to 166.

If you compare that to 7 days ago East is 3 less, South East is 11 more, South West is 10 less, London is 12 more, Yorkshire is 5 more, Midlands is 25 down.....and the North West has 49 more patients in now than it did 7 days ago.

So there is no question which area is showing the biggest increase in patients going into hospital. It has also seen the biggest rise in ventilator patients and deaths.

As I noted right at the start of the stats today from the England hospital figures - SIX of the 8 deaths reported today - all from the last 72 hours - occurred in the NW.

You are missing the point...

a week ago it would have been 5/10

now it is 30

we saw how it went last time, 30 turns into 40, 40 turns into 80, 80 turns into 120 etc etc

it quickly spiralled and we had 600/700 dying a day, before we had to go into lockdown.

It is always pointed out immediately when cases are low on a weekend that there is a lag, anyone that has followed the virus would also know Tuesday always is high due to a catch up. I get your point but 1 day high or one low day in isolation means nothing.

That will be it for tonight. Hope for better tomorrow.

They just updated the number on the website to 32 btw and added those 2 Northern Ireland deaths reported in the late data from there.

So there were 13 of the 32 deaths from UK hospitals and all over the past two or three days we know. Not sure about the other 19.

Of the Scottish infections today

5 in people aged over 65
2 in kids 0-4
23 in age group 5-19
146 in age group 20-64

 

[Healdplace]

I should add that it was 24 July last time we got to 32 deaths on ANY day and the last two months of Tuesday deaths all settings is as follows From 2 months ago to last week in order : 27, 21, 22, 15, 10, 10, 12, 5 - so 32 today certainly looks out of place.

We’ll be ramping up to unprecedented measures if we’re not careful

Given the easing up it's absolutely inevitable these cases were going to rise.
I was in Cornwall a week or so back and it was as rammed as it's ever been...save for masks in shops (and being hawked, although no 'pastie masks'...missed a trick there) and less people allowed in shops...pretty much business as usual.
This was, of course, in line with the perception the virus was filtering away...

As mentioned we'll need to be looking at how these translate into serious cases and deaths now.
Get that effen vaccine over the line...

I've been watching keenly to try and figure out whether I could fit in another quick jaunt home next month; had provisionally said to my parents i'd try for early October, but on this basis so far I may hang fire. Not so much for fear of illness but more a fear of getting stuck there. I only missed the last lockdown by a few days.
