I have spent weeks on here talking about the importance of the % totals from cases not just raw numbers and do quote them every day from the three nations that offer this data. If you look back on my posts you will see just how often I have referenced this and given that data. Must be dozens of such posts.

England don't announce it and don't even always post the number of tests done. There are no numbers today but they will likely put them out tomorrow. But you have to work out your own percentages

I gave data on this a couple of days ago lst time they published test numbers (Friday I think).

But there is certainly no break down of local tests conducted per borough that I am aware of. Though they must exist somewhere.

It takes hours every day collating the data I have been putting on here for months now. There are limits I am afraid to what I can put up here and stay sane and also have a day left to do other things.

I am sure 90% of those reading this thread skip my posts anyway. And I do not blame them at all. Not everyone wants to read the numbers or can follow them as they are rather overwhelming.

Once again, thanks, I appreciate your efforts as I know @kaz7 does.

Do you have any views on the false positives question?

Abd I daresay everyone is depressed enough after today's match anyway.

No I wasn't quite depressed enough so just to make sure I checked in to see what you had newly said. Thanks for not disappointing.

Hi, thank you, but no, sorry, sadly I do not. I am not a scientist. I just know where to find numbers and write them down really. That's about it.

Closest I got was teaching primary school a bit of science for a while likely before most of you were even born - let alone old enough to be one of my class.

There is a statstician who posts in here, bluejon. He might be able tp help as he will undestand what you are asking.

Good evening healdplace.

They are not really overwhelming tho are they? when compared to cancer cases and deaths, a disease we spend a fraction on compared to Covid. Are we just used to cancer numbers a disease that is gradually on the rise in many respects? and are just not used to a new disease like Covid?
We do so little as a country to stop the rise in cancer cases, we could ban smoking, but we dont as it would be seen as a massive restriction on civil liberties, yet here we are changing our society dramatically from top to bottom to deal with covid. Chris Whitty gave us a doomsday scenario last week with cases doubling and 200 deaths a day over s3hort period of time, say 4 weeks. But cases are not doubling in Spain or France. For comparison 450 people die from Cancer and 450 from Heart disease a day evey day!

Im not downplaying the seriousness of Covid, I know how deadly it is having lost a family member, Im questioning whether our response is proportionate. Perhaps we need to just start living with covid but in a sensible way such as how they are doing in Sweden. Are we sure as a country that continued restrictions are sustainable socially or economically?
