Is that true......
Almost all of Lancashire is heading into local lockdown
Local lockdown restrictions are coming in across Preston, Lancaster, Wyre, Fylde, Chorley, South Ribble, West Lancashire, Ribble Valley, Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley, Pendle, Hyndburn, and Rossendale

I'm amazed anyone can get to 56+ and not have some underlying health condition? Is being overweight counted?

Average deaths from flu in England each year is 17000. In 6 months of Covid we have over 40000 and still going up.

56,000 excess deaths and a change in how we record deaths to wipe 5,000 plus off the numbers , some had to come off but nowhere near that imo,spinning death figures, a new low

Depends how you count it. If flu is a contributing factor the numbers are a lot higher. Covid deaths are counted when covid is a contributing factor. Over 1k a week at the minute with flu as a contributing factor check the ONS stats.

As you may recall the Pop score measures how a town performs across the duration of the pandemic. By creating a daily score measuring the number of cases it gets day by day related to the population numbers of the town or borough.
Allowing comparative judgements. So the higher the number (it can only go up not down as cases are added day by day) the less good it is doing.
I have tallied the pop score over the duration of the GM restrictions for the 10 boroughs. Here is how each of them matches up.
The number is the difference between Pop score at the start of the new outbreak versus what it is now. So it shows how each GM borough has fared during these weeks versus one another. The lower the increase the better obviously.
Bolton 488
Oldham 329
Tameside 269
Manchester 262
Rochdale 261
Salford 261
Bury 243
Trafford 148
Wigan 128
Stockport 117
As you can see it reveals the worst and best easily (though Bolton was nowhere near top 2 weeks ago). The bunching of the bulk of boroughs somewhere in the middle shows they mostly have been impacted in a very similar manner when you use this measure to smooth out ups and downs and what (say) 20 cases means to one place versus another as size of population means that is not identical.
Then you easily spot the three boroughs that are some way ahead of the rest.
For comparison in the same period. Blackburn went up 327 (almost level with Oldham), Bradford by 293 and Leicester the city that went into restrictions in late June before the NW went up by the least of these three in the past month at 241 (almost the same as Bury).
Nothing earth shattering but it gives a different look at how each borough has performed versus each other across the duration of the present restrictions in GM.
