COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[shemnel]

All the broad regions of the country, cases per 100,000, rolling seven days.
Greater Manchester seen to be levelling and Lancs falling.
However The Humber seem to be in bother, Staffs and Birmingham & Wolves.

That's pretty much in line with what I have been reporting from the daily data, shemnel.

Though since 5 days ago GM has been more clearly falling.

Ilkay Gundogan: “The first three or four days were bad. Then were the strongest symptoms. It was difficult to get back into training because the disease was still inside. We should be as careful as possible to protect the people around us.”

Ilkay Gundogan: “Before [I got] the corona disease, I didn’t take it seriously. Afterwards my thinking changed. It doesn’t only do something to you physically, but also psychologically. You worry. Everything is written in the stars...”

It’ll be less.
One GP practice has already tweeted you’ve got to be joking!

With the vast majority of GPs being independent contractors, who'll do most things for cash, getting £12.50 per arm stabbed they’ll almost all be doing it, as will all the pharmacies.
The hospitals will do it to their staff and the care homes will be doing it to their staff and residents.
The real problem will be storing it at -80 and the fact that it hasn’t actually been tried on the over 65’s, which might well be viewed as a problem.

mask wearing in shops etc. seems to be going down, not up. Just sick of people.

So is people not satiating their hands and wiping down their baskets/trollies when entering shops. People just walk past the stations

aye, i hadnt bothered looking outside the NW but there are clearly other parts of the country now on the rise and might actually act as a better indicator as to whether a national lockdown has an impact (or this version of).

Manchester, Lancs and Liverpool were already well on the wane before 5th Nov so regions such as Birmingham and The Humber will be better case studies to see how the lockdown effects their cases.

Looks like another delay with our amazing web site. No explanation this time. Possibly still hunting for those missing Welsh results last seen heading for Abergele screaming - I'm a virus let me into here.

The media love looking for problems, don't they? Now suggesting a dry ice shortage may delay the vaccine as it is needed to transport it at the required low temperatures.

We should all take note that a Premier League athlete was hit hard with this.

Warrington Wolves RLFC player, Tom Lineham, said it felt like he’d been hit by a bus when he had it

Wire winger Lineham says coronavirus hit him like a bus

WARRINGTON Wolves winger Tom Lineham says he felt like he had been 'hit by a bus' after contracting coronavirus.

Went to the drs today , my dr has been off for six months with covid and long covid , he was a mad cyclist and healthy , mid 40's, he now has post viral fatigue and heart damage , unable to return to work yet

And yet there are also other cases where the illness is mild.
My friend's husband is in his early 70s, had a stroke a few years back and has to take lots of medication daily. He tested positive, spent a few days in bed and is now up and about again.
Another friend has a 96 year old mother in a care home. She tested positive (twice!) and is still with us.
I'm not downplaying the terrible impact it can have on some, just pointing out that even for the vulnerable it isn't necessarily a death sentence for each and every person.
I'm in Oldham, one of the worst effected areas in the country. I don't know one single person yet that has contracted it and been hospitalised.
Maybe our NHS is run on such a shocking financial tight rein by the government that any extra requirement, however small the increase, puts it under strain almost immediately and that's what we should require them to look at in the long term
