Great figures for Oldham...weekly pop score looks ace.

It was indeed a great score for Oldham today. Three of the last 4 under 100. After two weeks ago today being at 308. GM has really got it together over the last couple of weeks.

Problem is that it can go the other way just as fast over coming month or so.

Btw I nearly forgot Cheshire East data for andyhinch.

86 cases today up from 83. Total cases 8706. Pop score up 22 to 2266.

Other

Wirral up from 27 to 36, Knowsley 27 - down from 35. Liverpool area all looks low today.

Birmingham as usual had most cases at 575 - up from 523. Its Pop score rose by 50 - one of the biggest today.

Nottingham has been sub 100 for 8 days now was 88 today.

Leicester 182 - down from 201. Leeds 238 - down from 255.

Bradford down 11 to 233 - but that too is under half from 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Finally the place in the UK with the highest Pop Score (only one higher than Oldham) - Blackburn.

It had 60 cases - down from 66 - enough to up its Pop Score by 41 to 6265.~

Oldham only rose by 26 today so its Pop Score gained 15 extra lead on Blackburn and is now 151 behind at 6114

The lowest Pop Score in the UK is the Orkney's which has had just 36 cases in the past 9 months (less than even Trafford - the lowest in GM - had in one day today) and has a Pop Score of just 161.7.

Second is comhairle nan eilean siar - which will give you fun trying to pronounce or google to find out where it is.

Clue - its council offices have the postcode HS 1.

I had no idea there even was an HS postcode!



There are only a handful left now with a score under 1000.

Fucking fed up today. Walked from ancoats to st Anne’s church today and town looked scruffy and sad! Not many people about and so shit to not see our city bustling. It is not the most beautiful city but lives through being alive with people. It’s going to be another 3/4 months at least. A year of our lives on hold and many many years to pay back. Fuck off covid.

Misplaced confidence?
Last hurrah I think.

Haha true.

The week before was pretty bad too but certainly some element of 'one last piss-up' was part of it.

Cancer deaths UK 165000 a year
Covid deaths UK 57000
Flu deaths UK 11000 to 50000 a year
Suicide deaths in the UK 5700 a year
Road deaths in UK 1870 a year

So about 0.08% of the UK population (the vast majority being 75+ , mostly in care homes and most with at least one co-morbidity have sadly died.
The Country will be in financial ruin for a decade, damaging the hopes dreams and prospects of future generations.
The criminal failure to place a cordon sanitaire around the highly vulnerable will imo be the key conclusion of how this crisis has been mishandled.

Its not the deaths.
It’s the availability of hospital beds and ICU units.
they are now being taken up by younger people.

A bit of light relief amongst the gloom.
