🦠 12,155 new cases but no data on tests processed (normally lower at the weekend)

⚰️⚰️ 215 (28 day) deaths. Generally a significant reporting lag at the weekends/ Monday

🏥 admissions 1571 on Wednesday. C.10% of the total IN hospital each day

🛌 In hospital 15,712.
We can now get a better sense of how many people have been dying each day. These are by date of death, not by date reported so the third photo (the most recent) likely to have quite a lot of deaths added to it.

377 when we went into national measures on 5/11/20
Here are @JoePajak trend charts
And a little reminder that cases coming down does not mean to say we are all in a better position than we were going in to national measures.

The Lost Days That Made Bergamo a Coronavirus Tragedy - The New York Times

It is a tale of too little too late. Complacency. Poor preparation & resources.

Politicians hiding behind “following the science” whilst being persuaded by Business interests. nytimes.com/2020/11/29/wor…
Limiting questions to whether people had direct contact with China, thus excluding the possibility of community transmission and its embedded risks.

Limited test protocols stemming from limited WHO advice.

Medical personnel started falling ill. Image
Although 3,300 was the official Bergamo death toll excess death data suggests it was likely more than double that.

Nembri had an 850% increase in deaths in March. The local priest ordered a stop to the incessant tolling of bells for the dead. Image

“It was meant to be the meeting in which the Home Office’s top official reassured senior civil servants that, whether or not Priti Patel had bullied them, they were all still valued and listened to. Then he would draw a line under the matter.

However,...

as Matthew Rycroft, the permanent secretary, quickly learnt last Tuesday, hell hath no fury like Sir Humphrey scorned.

I was astonished to hear him suggest how much BETTER thing were under his leadership....according to him

The staff didn’t agree. “Atmosphere toxic”.
“Matthew, you communication has landed very poorly across the department”

“How is victim blaming 38k people anywhere close to being an acceptable response to this”?

Over 16,500 people have been admitted to critical care with Covid since the start of the crisis. This report concentrates on the 5770 admitted since September.

There is a reporting lag.
Yes. It really is COVID. The more Covid there is the less room for other conditions.
Yes it really is Covid (yellow), not pneumonia (blue -2020)) which has been consistently below other recent years

Exactly this. 1/ Any FTA vote is not binding due to the stunning stupidity of MPs giving away its powers under the GRAGS Act last October.

2/ And by being too scared to be anything other than passive on Brexit this last year a vote FOR the deal is a signal of its acceptability.
3/. Any FTA that would be remotely acceptable to Johnson will lead to a world of disruption and pain. Better than No Deal on tariffs and licences. Sure. But still terrible disruption, expense, businesses going under. All the more so without a long implementation period
4/. And Starmer have barely signalled any resistance. Let alone committed resistance. Not even to press for an extension. So - sure- a vote for the deal will come back to haunt them because the disruption, costs & losses will be bad - and they went along all the way.

🦠🦠🦠 15,871 new cases. No information on tests processed for yesterday

⚰️⚰️⚰️ 479 (28 day deaths) v 341 a week ago, but under reported.

🏥 Admissions likely over 1500 a day looking at the most recent data from each country. Slowing slowly but not dropping like a stone.
🛌 IN hospital. 15,712 on Thursday. Very gradual reduction.

The reductions in cases and hospitalisations are very welcome. But, given restrictions are being raised next week, Christmas is coming, they still seem far too high.
ENGLAND specific data from @JoePajak together with ENGLAND trend graphs.

The usual dimwit band of Brexiteers will be as wrong on Brexit as they have been on CV19– but it will all be too late

A standard technique for torturers is to 1st show the victim the misery that is going to be inflicted upon them before actually doing it independent.co.uk/voices/coronav…
Not just Brexit as a torture regime but. CV19 too. Do you have a sense that having read and agreed with this our job is good enough?

Well I get that. Because, although I do not not agree I have no sense, given the political party disengagement WHAT THE HELL I CAN DO
“We have, for the most part, got used to our state of suspended animation, our permanent life in limbo, waiting & waiting for the miseries of Brexit to appear and them never quite arriving.“

How many of us wait but do not act because we do not know what act will have an effect
