Sort of. The page I get these stats from is https://www.travellingtabby.com/uk-coronavirus-tracker/

It's a really well put together site. Mainly Scotland focused however there is a tab for the UK as a whole near the top, click on that and have a scroll down and there's all sorts of info. Think the Scottish stuff is a bit more in depth but there is still a graph with the age range of every daily infection in the uk as a whole. The deaths ages I think are just in total though rather than daily.

Cheers. Very informative that site.

Regional scoreboard:

London 2056 - up from 1588

Midlands 3254 - down from 4159

North East - up just 7 to 1170

Yorkshire up to 3800 from 3638.

North West - down over 500 to 4045. Lowest in 9 days.

This is the smallest gap between Yorkshire and NW in some time.

Better day for the region.

London looks the next hotspot

So why would you be so insistent that a virus that does nothing to the majority of people be allowed ruin ruin some many people life’s. I get you got it bad, and hope you recover but for the vast majority of the population they won’t get it as bad.

All a lockdown does is pause the spread - it won’t stop it, nothing will. The economy cannot carry on like this.

I’ve personally been lucky that my job is (touch wood) still needed. But I have seen far more people suffering through the damage to the economy than I have from getting this virus. Life is short and we cannot spend it existing by running away from something that only efforts a small amount of the population. Life should be enjoyable- being told to say in a box isn’t enjoyable.

Because we can all spread it ,the more the cases are the more will die and suffer life changing damage it is not all about individuals

We have to slow the spread to get through the winter , there is literally no other way to keep the nhs going

As an ex nurse i want the nhs to keep going and i dont want anyone to get it and long covid , that is affecting all age groups and even if you had mild symptoms

There is no easy answer, every which way is shite

Look at it this way , we have about five more months to get through till it easiest off and we have a vaccine or two and better treatments , a year in total of being inconvienced by a deadly virus spread all around the world, did you expect it would be over by now ? We have to make the best of a bad job and behave sensibly and protect each other ,sadly humans are set to be selfish

Look at your busnesses, can you diversify , claim every financial help going, do what you can

I am still on the side of the economy will recover, it always does

Life is not supposed to be easy or fair, you just have to ride it out

I'm not offering an opinion on Covid specifically. I'm merely stating that your appeal to authority argument is a fallacy. I think it's far more dangerous if something is not allowed to be challenged or scrutinised because the "experts" say so. How do you know that the so called "experts" are not lying to you if they are not open to scrutiny?

Of course but its not that here. Many of the posters saying they know better than the experts are the same ones who said
"it was no worse than flu.
Who said "it had weakened",
They were all here saying no restrictions were needed 6 weeks ago, That 1 month ago that this was not a 2nd wave.
Posting fringe/none qualified links

They have been proved wrong time after time.

People can of course debate things but that is not what my problem is though, its the deliberate spread of lies, misinformation and anti-science by people not remotely qualified to say so. This is a pandemic. These mistruths cost lives. They should have their own thread for their "alternate facts"

well they don’t really know what they’re doing, and weak leadership creates instability. Anyway, have you seen what’s going on across Europe with the protests? On the whole most of the uk has done what it’s told to do in comparison. It gets interesting if this crap goes on into next year and the year after I guess
