just an idea, but if less people are getting infected would that not mean there is less reason for people to get tested? May go a little way to explaining the lower testing numbers?
It’s hard to tell mate. For example, there’s
total apathy about the virus on some of the unofficial City Facebook pages. There might be fewer infections. It might also be that people can’t be bothered getting tested during the wet weather.
 
The Pfizer vaccine is set to be the first ever mRNA vaccine approved of it goes through. And through on much shorter time scales. Wowsers. I can understand some people being unsure about side effects if I'm honest, it's only natural surely.
 
Greater Manchester was up today but not disastrously. 1626 v 1404 yesterday. Wigan was the biggest reason for this - way up again and almost beat Manchester for a second time.

Most other places up a little only. Still well down on last week by many hundreds.

For the first time in a while the % of the NW total also fell to below 50% at 48%.

So still a good day.
 
The England hospital stats not updated (they seem to now be doing this in two day batches so presumably tomorrow).
 
La Universidad de Oxford recolecta datos de casi 20.000 voluntarios en Reino Unido, Brasil y Sudafrica. Los resultados serian tan buenos como los de Pfizer. Se espera publicación oficial muy pronto. Aprobación para uso de emergencia seria 10 días después.

Translates as:

The University of Oxford collects data from almost 20,000 volunteers in the UK, Brazil and South Africa. The results would be as good as Pfizer's. Official publication is expected very soon. Approval for emergency use would be 10 days later.

Sadly there's some talk in official circles that - in some areas at least - some people with symptoms are actively avoiding tests because they don't want to self-isolate.
