ZOE APP NUMBERS
More good falls today in all measures. And better ones than yesterday. The graph day to day is still falling pretty steeply much as it did in January when the wave ended.
Indeed we are just a day or two away from going below the peak number at the height of the January wave for ongoing infections. Which we have been above now for about a month.
Predicted cases now:-
On 72, 547 DOWN FROM 75,204 yesterday - DOWN 2657 after falls of 1693, 1573 and 2839 on days before that.
Down week to week from 88, 592- a fall of 16,045 over the 7 days after a fall of 13,698 the day before that.
Ongoing symptomatic cases also still falling.
On 1,131,658 FROM 1,146,202 yesterday (down 14, 544 from falls of 12,626 yesterday and 12,579 the day before.
Was 1,220,024 last week- a fall of 88, 366 across the week after falls of 69,541 and 57, 225 in previous days week to week.
IN THE NORTH WEST:- Cases fell by a little less than yesterday - but still a fair drop and NW as a region stays in 7 th place out of the 12 UK regions as it fell from 1032 / 1328 TO 1003 / 1294
If it falls again tomorrow it should drop below 1000 on the first measure for first time in weeks.
Every England region was down today - most by slightly more than the NW - and Wales and N Ireland fell too.
Scotland - not now best in UK - London is - was the only UK region to rise but only a little though for the fifth day running to 736/1032 FROM 731/1031
Even Northern Ireland now THE most infected region on Zoe in the UK fell slightly to 994/2325
London and Scotland were today joined out of the highest watch zone by West MIdlands - who have been falling a lot lately and dropped big again today to 851 / 1037.
Within NW most places falling now.
Wyre is no longer the highest and has dropped steeply to 28K and Wirral is still inching up in the mid to high 31Ks. Fylde has dropped like a stone over the past week from 38K to just 12K. St Helens drops too into the 21Ks. Warrington though is edging up daily and now over St Helens on 23,317.
Much the same in Cheshire - Cheshire East has dropped day by day over the past week from over 29K to 23,898 today. Still above the also falling Cheshire West which has only slowly reduced from 23K to 21,324 today.
These falls are partly why GM - though falling on the whole in the real numbers - is struggling a bit in terms of its share of the NW region. Other parts of the region were much higher than GM and so have more to fall daily and that is impacting the GM split of the real case numbers for now and not just the Zoe predictions
In Greater Manchester pretty well all are fairly flat but edging daily up or down. Though Stockport has started to show hints it might be back on the rise after small increases in past two or three days. Though not up by a lot.
Oldham on just 4869 has been around that number for 5 days now. Oldham still MILES ahead in best spot. Though another borough is coming for it it is one Zoe predicts least well so may not be that accurate.
Stockport is now only fourth BEST on Zoe in GM but just inched UP again by 149 onto 14,311. However, neighbour Tameside is dropping faster and moved into second falling more onto 10,759.
Salford also went ahead of Stockport today falling over 1000 onto 13, 051
Most boroughs are bunched between 16 and 19K having edged up a little (Bolton down just under 17K, Manchester up just over 18K & Wigan up most into mid 19K range and with Rochdale also up over 1000 to 15K
Trafford falls just below 20K on 19,876 and Wigan going the other way is just 400 behind and could overtake it tomorrow.
Leaving Bury still making the biggest rise again today (another 4000) and well clear of the rest by a massive 12,000 - on 31, 358 - the highest in GM right now and for some time by a huge margin as you can see.
And also only just beaten by the Wirral as the highest in the NW having overtaken Wyre today.
