Late last night I posted a table of the 10 GM boroughs over the past 6 weeks to show how their weekly Pop number changed day to day (or rather every couple of days for simplicity).
If you look at it you can see everywhere seemed to behave in much the same way and was rising up to around the 3/4 November when it pretty much peaked and then started to fall - in some cases quite sharply - almost immediately and has been falling ever since.
I don't know how that squares with the different measures being imposed as it has been more like the hokey cokey than a long term plan in the NW.
But anyone who does know the details of when measures were introduced, changed or ended can plot them via that data on page 7279,
I would be curious if it reveals what has/has not worked to tip this into decline.
Though it may be that it was simply the wave running its course in the NW first as it had been in full flow here longer than most other places.
what are the timeline of measures in Gtr Manc? obviously lockdown on Nov 5th but others?
