So the UK hospital death total today is just 1. The last two Mondays it was 4. Last week that 4 became 3 on all settings deaths.

Cases so far from the three nations without England (assuming the under reporting gets corrected today later) are at 362 - which is the lowest in a while but with that caveat.

Last week the three nation total was 420.

England later added 2528 cases to total for UK 2948.

Is this the lowest we have had?

As the numbers are low and likely to increase its hard to judge but its still below 10% over 65 so up on what it was a week or two ago but not yet in the red zone. Though not far off I suspect.

Of course, death rates even for over 65s are lower now than they were so I doubt any second wave is going to be close to the first beyond raw numbers of cases found - which are bound to be higher as we are doing more tests and finding the asymptomatic ones that we hardly ever did during the first wave.
 
None of the NW covid hotspots (many in GM of course and including Bolton, Salford, Tameside and Manchester) reportedly have walk in test slots or home tests now available for people who fear they have Covid,

Nicola Sturgeon has claimed that Matt Hancock tried to reduce the tests available in Scotland all weekend as there was such a crisis in England but (rightly) she refused and he eventually backed off.

This world class testing system has some unique features I am sure everyone is going to copy given how successful they appear to be.

lot of people calling in LBC on this, they can't get a test anywhere
 
The WHO report that yesterday saw the most new cases ever recorded in 24 hours globally at 307. 930.

We are now at 917, 417 deaths globally after over 5500 yesterday.

Puts our 3000 cases and 1 death into some context.
 
Guess what? The gov uk website has packed in again! But this time they are blaming 'an ongoing issue with Microsoft Azure'.


Might not have a world class test and trace technology in the UK but we must have a world beating excuses.

Could be true patient access also down
 
Anyhow 9 all settings deaths - quite a jump from 1 given this is Sunday data and out of hospital deaths rarely get recorded at weekend. Last Monday the 4 UK hospital deaths went down to 3 in all settings.

And cases are down significantly to 2621 - but if you recall what Nicola Sturgeon said that might 'really' be double this for all we know.

Does look like this is a different issue to the past ones as the website is accessible just unable to update beyond yesterday.

because we are ahead of it when patients end up in hospitals instead of firefighting a new disease we didn't know how to treat ,we have some treatments that help stop people needing ventilation ,it is not weaker,we are better,key is now to not overwhelm the nhs with it when they get overwhelmed in a bad flu season as itis,that is what boris should be saying,it is clear,factual and easy to understand

Some scientists think it is getting weaker Karen.
 
This is kind of reassuring when its put there like this. Add in all the beach stuff, protests etc too. Lots of things that we thought would cause big spikes so far haven't, even with the lags in dates. Fingers crossed it stays this way given the kids have gone back to school. It has in other countries so let's hope for the best here too.

reduce available tests, lower cases reported, continue to report success. No 2nd wave. On paper.

well if that was the case and the virus wasnt getting weaker then hospital cases and deaths would shoot up both of which would have to be reported. No im sorry but the testing fiasco is just that a big cock up and not part of some dastardly plan.

And instead of addressing it, their only plan is to encourage you to grass up your neighbours. Despicable doesn’t even begin to describe this charlatan government.
 
Data up and even with the big drop to what may be artificially low numbers things are still grim up north.

Regional scoreboard:

London 218 - down substantially from 311 to the levels it had two or three weeks ago.

Midlands 349 - down a little from 397.

Yorkshire 356 - down a little from 413.

And North West well down from the record 906 to 734 - though still the third highest total yet just 7 less than 2 days ago.
