still lagging, was there a date attached to that timestamp?They now have an estimate for when the UK dashboard may update today (to include reinfections and all the usual data). 10PM.

The age groups 04, 5-9 and 10-14 saw new highs reached quite a bit later than other age groups. Its the wrong moment for me to say with confidence whether these have now reached their peak. But they are so much higher than levels recorded via the testing system in previous waves, and frankly there are many other age groups where even after some large drops earlier in January, levels remain very high relative to previous waves. And some regions such as the South East are seeing more obvious growth again in more age groups.have you plotted infections by age recently elbows? everyone in my family (including me) with school age children has one off with covid, was wondering if this was just bad luck or if there's a teen spike happening right now...
Actually I did find time to graph latest data for the 10-14 age group.have you plotted infections by age recently elbows? everyone in my family (including me) with school age children has one off with covid, was wondering if this was just bad luck or if there's a teen spike happening right now...
This has identified extra cases of infection that were previously removed as duplicates. These additional 173,328 cases represent around 1.5% of all infections in England.
In my local area it’s highest in 0-9s, second highest in 40-49s (ie age of many parents) and third highest 10-19s.have you plotted infections by age recently elbows? everyone in my family (including me) with school age children has one off with covid, was wondering if this was just bad luck or if there's a teen spike happening right now...
Someone in Whitehall has been telling the press that they plan to end the daily data publication by easter:
Daily Covid death stats could be axed by Easter under plan to 'live with Covid', source says
Covid expert says the move could lead to a new variant of the virus going unnoticedinews.co.uk
Thats just because a big chunk of the weekend catchup figure of reported deaths has happened a day later than normal this week. Overall daily numbers by date of death have also increased slightly because reinfections are now included, but this isnt responsible for a large leap in numbers, just a subtle increase.
Yeah. I know...but tbh 250-300 per day is fucking hell, anyway.Thats just because a big chunk of the weekend catchup figure of reported deaths has happened a day later than normal this week. Overall daily numbers by date of death have also increased slightly because reinfections are now included, but this isnt responsible for a large leap in numbers, just a subtle increase.
The trend and levels seen in the data when looked at by date of death hasnt really changed in a significant way at all, so there will be no fucking hell comment from me, although I remain unhappy about various aspects of the current UK approach.

The number of deaths registered in England in the week ending 21 January 2022 (Week 3) was 12,012; this was 387 fewer deaths than the previous week (Week 2) and 8.4% below the five-year average (1,099 fewer deaths).
Compared with the 2015 to 2019 five-year average (as opposed to the new five-year average used in the previous main points), deaths in England and Wales were 3.3% below average (440 fewer deaths); deaths were 2.9% below average in England (358 fewer deaths) and 8.5% below average in Wales (69 fewer deaths).
Of the deaths registered in Week 3 in England and Wales, 1,484 mentioned "novel coronavirus (COVID-19)", accounting for 11.6% of all deaths; this was an increase in the number of deaths compared with Week 2 (1,382 deaths, 10.4% of all deaths).
Of the 1,484 deaths involving COVID-19, 72.9% (1,082 deaths) had this recorded as the underlying cause of death in Week 3 compared with 77.4% in Week 2.
This^Its to help the 'back to the old normal' agenda, rather than actually do anything to reduce levels of infection.
From a psychological point of view I would expect it to make a difference, it will play into the 'its all over' agenda, although that stuff has already come quite a long way in this country in the last couple of months, as the current pace of this thread demonstrates.
