COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[BlueAnorak]

Long Covid has some strange symptoms.

Long Covid sufferers developing symptom where they smell fish and burnt toast constantly

The long-term symptom, known as parosmia, seemed to affect young people and healthcare workers in particular

I had aches and pains for 5 months and totally lost my sense of smell for 3 months. I was left with a bad asthma cough which has only got under control this month - nearly 9 months after I had it!

I haven't posted them in a while but will do so again over the next few days just to get a picture of how things are. @MillionMilesAway. I'll hang off for now as data is a bit all over the place as HP has pointed out, with unusually low test numbers and unusually high % positive figures, but over next few days things should hopefully sort itself out.

They're available https://www.travellingtabby.com/scotland-coronavirus-tracker/ here, that's where I get the data from. The site is legit and has been singled out for praise I believe from Devi Sridhar and possibly even the Scottish government for the work behind it.

Thank you, both you and @Healdplace

It was more a general point that case numbers as quoted per day could still do anything, and it's the age brackets that will show the effect. The presentation you give is really helpful though.

Wiltshire please.

I will add Wiltshire to the list but I do not think there is much to worry about.

It sits on just 6979 cases. With a very low Pop Score of 1369 (far below even the best in GM - Stockport which is 4120). This shows that across the past 9 months Wlitshire has been among the top performers in the country. Being a rural county will have helped.

It is caught in the rises around the west country of late but these are still only relative
Currently Wiltshire is on an upward track like everywhere else. But not excessively so.

It had just 79 cases today.

It had 749 cases in the past week. So that is down versus the 107 per day average. Its weekly POP score is 149, Below almost everywhere in GM.

n what I guess we have to now call the second wave that peaked mid November Wiltshire only got to 138 Weekly Pop and then fell to 67 by 7 Dec but has been rising since and at 149 is above that second wave peak.

But 149 is not anything to worry about

I cannot really track everywhere. But i will add it to the list if you wish. However, right now I do not see any reason for concern here.

It is number 293 in the 315 England boroughs and level with High Peak (Buxton etc) the only NW area that low right now. Nobody that low in the table is in any immediate problems. Though it has gone up by 61% in past few days which is quite high compared to those around it.

Remind me in a few days and I will do another review of it and if it is starting to look like it needs a daily watch then I will.

Assuming I've got this right, where I am in East London is reporting 939/100k between 14-20 Dec, with an England national average of 238.
2600 in the week, out of a complete total of 11100 in the whole year (as far as I can tell)
Deaths/100k are only just over 1/2 of the national average, with covid responsible for about 2-3 a day per 100k recently

MILLION MILES AWAY:-


On the Gov UK website there IS a new experimental 'heat flow' chart that you can look at for any place. It charts how many people of each age range are testing positive across the past months.

It does this in age group of just 5 years.

It is very visual and relies on colour coding so best to view it for any area you wish.

I just happen to have the Wiltshire map on screen as it is in the same area of Gov Uk with the case data, of course, so I was studying Wiltshire for the poster above.

This shows that on the latest pre Christmas data the 20 - 24 age group had the highest testing positive rate at a case rate of 335 per 100,000.

But in mid May in Wiltshire the over 90s had the highest rate across the entire pandemic when they got up to 874 per 100,000.

It is impossible to summarise as this is a very visual tool and you see all 9 months and every age range in one go. But just select cases on the gov.uk site, select the local authority you want to look at and you will see the current heat map with colour coding across all the age ranges there.

Though as with most map or chart Gov UK data it only goes up to 5 or 6 days ago.

For some reason they don't count Swindon numbers with the rest of wiltshire as far as I can tell.

Ah, found it! Took a few goes to find the right way to it.

Thanks for that - that'll be needed to get working.

Pretty much under 10s and 75+ are pretty much the only places in dark purple not black.
