COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Ironically I thought this year would be the year the scientists cracked the bald gene (I read they were fairly close) and that all those medieval viruses we read about in horror would really be residing in history books only. The huge bio tech market, gene therapy...and he we are, floored liked the animals we are. I say that with a tinge of optimism as there must be a great deal of new data from this global research over CV19.

You'd possibly expect the numbers of those who work in health care or such front line roles to have a greater antibody population than the general public I suppose. Interesting nonetheless.

You would. It would be interesting to see what the numbers are in London that has had far higher infection rates than most. Though Wolverhampton had it as bad early doors (only 18% at Wolverhampton's New Cross hospital BTW).

Surely this is only a side effect of having the A+ blood type. (That comes with pattern baldness as part of it's genetic gift.)
Those Saxons and Vikings eh.

I'm 59,A+, and hair the envy of my mates, one of whom is bald as a coot and has been since he was 30, and he's O+.
 
BMA now demanding face coverings EVERYWHERE social distancing is not possible.
They've read all the scientific papers and know it helps quite a lot.
 
Deaths in Wales today 4, new cases + 76.

So Total (minus Northern Ireland not seen yet) of hospital deaths in UK is 141

England total 123 of which 19 are from yesterday, 50 added on to day before, 23 onto June 2 and 7 onto June 1st.

The five day total for May 31 is now 75 (just 3 added) - but the two days after it do already have a few more though both just below 100 (82 and 92).

The equivalent (last Friday) figure was 373 deaths. That includes the adds on from care homes etc but based on yesterdays add ons it seems unlikely we will be at much more than half that level today when non hospital deaths are added to the 141 later.

Has anyone started buying masks yet? If I think I might have a look for a few in case I travel on public transport over the next few weeks (or longer).
Possibly whilst running too although I tend to run in the evening and barely pass anyone (and give wide berth if so). Couple of quid from the likes of Screwfix (sadly not in Raw Denim or linen unfortunately).

Dust masks were always falling down for me.

Best bet is going to a pharmacy and buying them.

Either that or a scarf/bandana

Yeah, I think she was reporting 0.7-1.0 nationally today, with NW England a cause for concern, so I’d interpret that as 1.0

Of todays figures NW had 25 of the 123 reported England deaths. The North East and Yorkshire had 25 or 26 too. As did the Midlands.

London had 10.

So at least 3 weeks ago (longer as some of todays deaths are catch ups from as early as April) when these deaths were new infections we were the epicentre.

We are lagging behind the fall in London though, clearly.

You can only use deaths to show what was true last month. Not what is right now.

It might help if the number of new positive tests were given city or county wide each day. You can only do that by complicated health area add ups from the data one by one. So you can check how many new cases are added daily to Manchester for instance.

But it is possible to tot up locally and it would be a better guide to the R status locally now rather than weeks ago.

Up to yesterday 25,984 cases were ascribed to the North West. Second only to London.

We may end up being above them.

Manchester has had 1607 cases up to yesterday, Salford 940. Those are fairly average per population. By comparison Blackpool at 654 cases is way more infected per population than Manchester or Salford.

All the worst hit infection hot spots are in the North East. Sunderland, Middlesbrough etc. Not far short of twice as infected per population as Manchester.

If the City game v Newcastle were IN that city you might see a reason for a neutral venue.

But not expecting such revolutionary thinking as helpful data to be appearing any time soon sadly.

I think just 3 maps of the countries local authorities over the whole country with new cases over the last 3 days, week and 2 weeks are what is required. Regions are just too big to give an meaningful information.
