H/T @LawrenceGilder for additional data. I am still waiting for my dashboard screen to refresh!
Of course, whilst the positives are at their highest in Feb/March/April they did not have the equivalent testing capacity.
Hospital admissions will give us a better sense.
60 day deaths 44.
Legacy deaths 92.
I wonder what excess deaths will be by the time ONS produce their report next week?
It was over 65k.
This confirms that there have been technical difficulties updating the dashboard.
Admissions : no updates since 22/9/20
Why not?
But patients in hospital are UP ⬆️ 100 in England but no data from Wales, Scotland and NI. Likely another c 240 patients to add to the 1481 in England
Ventilator beds ⬆️ in England (209) - no data from Scotland, Wales, NI.
It takes 5 days for most deaths to filter through, but 40 recorded today (28 day cut off, v 13 2 weeks ago.
As Isobel Oakeshott announced when enquiring if the pandemic was over, there were just 2 a month ago on 22nd August.
I think the answer is “no”.
It does look as if capacity has resulted in more tests being processed, but still a puzzle whey there are so many people being unable to get tests when they claim 30k spare capacity.
H/ @UKCovid19Stats for the regional breakdown of cases.
The poor NW
But p, for population. And acceleration the NE is a cause for concern as well as Yorkshire and Humber, West Midlands.
Understand that London has some “hot pockets” as does East Midlands
This is a heat map of the U.K.
Black indicates over 9 cases in a day so for those of you who live local to me around Cheltenham/ Gloucester.
Be careful. We are black with 12 cases each. We know how quickly this can gallop so keep contacts right down, wear masks, wash hands.
