With the caveat that it's unwise to read too much into one day's numbers. This jump from yesterday could be due to a variety of things. There was a single day figure almost this high on 14 August, for instance.
yeah, but hovering around 1k/day for ages, then...not good.With the caveat that it's unwise to read too much into one day's numbers. This jump from yesterday could be due to a variety of things. There was a single day figure almost this high on 14 August, for instance.
Deaths still down. Hospitalisations continuing to fall. Pillar 1 tests not rising significantly, the increasing numbers coming from an increasingly focused Pillar 2 system. It might not quite be the bad news you think it is.yeah, but hovering around 1k/day for ages, then...not good.
I'm pretty certain that we're going to follow our European neighbours on an upward trajectory.Deaths still down. Hospitalisations continuing to fall.

This could change, of course. We could start to see hospitalisations and deaths creep back up again. But it hasn't happened yet.
Well, to temper that, the ZoeCovid study has been estimating a falling number of symptomatic covid-19 cases in the UK for the last couple of weeks as positive tests have crept up (from around 30,000 to 18,000 - setting that in context, they estimate a peak level of 2 million back at the start of April), with new cases steady at about the same level as they were at their lowest a few weeks ago.I'm pretty certain that we're going to follow our European neighbours on an upward trajectory.
It's been all over the news for days, what else can they do?This stuff should be much clearer and needs to be actually communicated to people properly.
Has it? Totally missed it. And still can’t find any headlines on the new rule.It's been all over the news for days, what else can they do?
No idea but if it’s organised by a business it’s exempt, far as I can understand.What makes a commercial event any better covid wise, especially as they are likely to be indoors.

Will it apply to demonstrations and kids birthday parties ?
They seem to prove remarkably incapable at offering themselves up to the majesty of the law. One might almost think they considered themselves above itMPs need to look out in Parliament
And "I benefitted from a free education but young people should pay for theirs, the tight fuckers"Of course like now that I'm too old for National Service I think it's just what young people need nowadays.
If that is vaguely accurate... Scotland no longer looking so good, in relative terms.Well, to temper that, the ZoeCovid study has been estimating a falling number of symptomatic covid-19 cases in the UK for the last couple of weeks as positive tests have crept up (from around 30,000 to 18,000 - setting that in context, they estimate a peak level of 2 million back at the start of April), with new cases steady at about the same level as they were at their lowest a few weeks ago.

It never did. according to the Zoe study, Scotland's better position relative to England was never really true. Various Scotland-sized bits of England - London, se, sw - have been doing as well if not better from May onwards.If that is vaguely accurate... Scotland no longer looking so good, in relative terms.
Actually yes... in fact I think I've argued that on this thread before.It never did. according to the Zoe study, Scotland's better position relative to England was never really true.
One oddity of current figures is that a third of hospitalised cases in the UK are now in Scotland. Feels like a measuring difference of some kind more than anything, but Scotland's numbers haven't fallen in the same way as everywhere else.
Thing I'd say about that is that, now that the numbers are down so low, a fair bit of volatility is showing up at a local level on the Zoe App. London boroughs can be up one week then down the next, for instance. All it takes is a single 'superspreader' event to bump a region up for a week or two. Plus the margin of error at that level is big cos the absolute numbers of people in the study reporting sickness are low.Actually yes... in fact I think I've argued that on this thread before.
What caught my eye was the relatively high numbers for the north of Scotland. I'm currently in semi-quarantine in an attempt to reduce the risk of me taking the plague from London to the Highlands next week. But according to that site, the number per head of active cases in the Highlands is greater than in Lambeth.
