.@DogLady2020 I just checked back in on the prediction from 21 days ago & the 7 day average is 200 deaths per day

πŸ˜–

Third time in a row I have been a bit under (181 yesterday, then we had catch up Monday) but a reasonable prediction for 14/11 is 300 - 400 deaths a day

😬
2/

Previous estimates have been based on the 7 day average of cases reported.

Shifting to 7 day average of cases by swab date gives an expected average of 206 deaths/day today - spookily accurate.

WARNING: We don't know the average yet as swab date lags by c. 4 days
3/

We are on day 57 πŸ‘†

Looking at another measure - the log of cases reported so far πŸ‘‡ you can see the orange line (deaths by date of death) is higher than the rolling average reported (blue)

This is because fatalities are rising - but note the last 5 days are unreliable
4/

Digressing - this makes Nick Triggle's commentπŸ‘‡seem disingenuous or misinformed.

The rolling average hit 200 cases a day today and it would be a very big surprise in 5 -7 days if we don't see av. deaths by date top 200/day.

There are already 199 recorded for 22/10...

As above, I think I have found why the numbers under shoot based on the estimation method.

Using cases by swab date, you can't predict quite as far in the future, but this gives an estimate of 300 - 400 deaths a day by 11/11.

This is better than some recent log plots.
6/

Looking at updated log plots you can see the levelling off spoken of last week, but there is a worrying acceleration over the past few days.

Chillingly last weeks comment imply that the Government are okay with 500 deaths/day by 29/12 (orange line)
7/

The log plotπŸ‘†is based on predicted values - the ones that gave an average of 206 for today.

This gives us another date to check, 17/11:

Orange line - 300 deaths/day
Red line - 400 deaths/day
8/

Remember that the deaths in 21 days time are pretty much baked in 3 weeks in advance, swabs taken up to todays date are already taken.

πŸ˜–

Action now would change things from 17/11 on...
9/

It will be very interesting to see where cases go over the next week with Welsh and English schools having shut.

There seems to have been a dip in Scotland and Northern Ireland - it could be that @GavinWilliamson is looking at half term as #firebreak light
10/

At this point, it becomes a question of how many deaths a day do @CMO_England @BorisJohnson & @MattHancock feel are acceptable

It looks inevitable that we will hit 300 deaths/day within a month

🀬

This should be subject to open debate, not gaslighting into acceptance

@adamhamdy It looks very much like schools are being used to drive this by the back door.

A bit more thinking to do about πŸ‘‡

It shows %age rise in 7 day average across UK but you can clearly see spikes a week after schools went back in different regions, then unis

(1/n)
@adamhamdy 2/n

From last night's press conference @BorisJohnson seems to think we just need to try a bit harder to follow rules

However, since mid-July there have been around 15% extra cases each week

This seems to have jumped to more like 25% as schools returned

@adamhamdy @BorisJohnson 3/n

The large spike at the end encompasses two things:

-case backlog being added
-uni return

BUT we seem to have rebounded to around 25% extra cases each week again (early days)

Importantly, it's unclear how much of the sharp fall is unis dealing with 'their virus'

Two things we learned from @BorisJohnson

1. He doesn't understand how infection numbers reduce

"unis did a great job of getting their virus under control"

If true, they did it by locking students in their halls...

πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ€₯

#COVID19

2. He doesn't really get exponential growth.

Apparently the R is only a bit above 1 so it's all okay.

It's around 1.3 to 1.5, higher than the lead into this debacle from mid August on. So numbers not going south yet.

There is a great primer on exponential growth here:



Please watch it.

More importantly, please get friends, journalists and politicians to watch too.

#JonathanVanTam #JVT said deaths baked in for 3 weeks.

You can expect 160-320 on 11/11 😰

.@WelshGovernment appears to believe older children higher transmission risk for #COVID19

@educationgovuk guidance last updated 1/10 doesn't mitigate this or aerosol transmission- clear its schools' job to assess

Year 7-11 children consistently 2nd highest group & still on exponential increase, while unis seem to be getting on top of their outbreaks

Now 1% of secondary children infected with #COVID19
