For the first time in a month, Scotland no longer has the highest 7 day case rate in the UK. That is now Wales, who have been seeing a bit of an increase over the past week.

#Covid19UK #coronavirusuk #DailyCovidUpdate
That is true at a local authority level too, where Neath Port Talbot now have the highest case rate in the UK, as cases in West Dunbartonshire continue to fall.

Also I'm not going to do a big thread this week, but I'll share some of the weekly charts below!
First here is this one, showing the current situation across the UK at a glance.

And also a few of the ones showing vaccinations by age (still no data on under 18s included in them though.. hopefully they'll be in there soon!)
Then here are some of the weekly ONS figures too. Deaths were up again this week, and are now at just under 1,000.

Excess deaths were also up by quite a bit. Although last week was a bank holiday, so a bit of a bounce like this was to expected as the reporting catches up.

I could cry 😭🥳🇺🇸

It has been a loooong 18 months
I've got some family / friends over there who I do hope to visit before the end of the year, if possible.

I'll keep everyone in the loop about that, but if/when I do go, I still plan on keeping the pages updated as normal. Or normalish...
There will probably be a couple of days with no updates (travel days), and I also might only do updates on weekdays so that the weekends are free.

But it is a while away yet (if it happens), so I'll let you know closer to the time!

As promised, here is a thread giving an overview of the Covid-19 situation in Scotland from over the past week!

First some figures on cases, which are still rising at a rapid pace. Our daily and 7-day average figures are now the highest they've been since the pandemic began. 👎
Yes, the amount of testing we are doing each day has increased by quite a bit.

But the rise in cases is outpacing that, which has resulted in the positivity rate rising quite steeply too.

Our 7-day positivity rate is now at 11.2%, which is up from 7.2% this time a week ago.
In terms of age, 15-24 year olds have the highest rates right now by some distance.

Although every age group is seeing a fairly sharp increase right now. Even the older ones, to a lesser extent.

Over 5 billion vaccinations have now been administered across the planet! 🥳💉💉💉💉💉

That accounts to about 25% of the worlds entire population now being fully vaccinated, and another 8% partially vaccinated

#Covid19UK #coronavirusuk #DailyCovidUpdate
Here are some more figures on the global vaccinations!

As expected, the rollout has not been equal. Europe for example has fully vaccinated nearly half of its entire population, whereas Africa is on just 3%.

And nearly 2 of those 5 billion vaccinations have been in China alone!
Also, I've changed these charts on the UK local page.

In addition to some design changes, the scales on the map have been updated to account for the rising cases, and the popups on it now give more information

On the table, you can now search for 'cities' to see just those!

Over 5,000 new cases were reported in Scotland today, for the first time ever ☹️

Although we did also conduct our most ever tests in a day, and the positivity rate is lower than it was yesterday.

#covid19scotland #coronavirusscotland #DailyCovidUpdate
Lower than yesterday, but still at 11%, which isn't good. Especially when we're reporting over 5,000 new cases to go with it...

Anyways here are some other figures regarding the new cases which were reported today.
And some of the detailed vaccination figures for the day too!

From tomorrow, the weekly figures will be included in these charts again as normal. 😊

Sadly 174 new deaths were reported throughout the UK, which is up 4 from last Tuesday.

Deaths still don't seem to have peaked here, despite UK wide cases peaking over a month ago now.

#Covid19UK #coronavirusuk #DailyCovidUpdate
Also, I've started making some changes on the UK local page now!

First, the cases and deaths by specimen chart here now shows 4 areas, along with some other design changes. And by default, it will now show these 4 cities, one for each nation.
And second, I've added this map to show the number of new cases reported today in each local authority.

The colours are based on per capita figures, but you can zoom in to see a label that has the actual daily increase on it.

Over 4,300 new cases were reported throughout Scotland today, which is the highest we've ever had in a day.

The daily positivity was was also 14.5%, which is the highest since the start of January.

#covid19scotland #coronavirusscotland #DailyCovidUpdate
Here are some extra figures on the new cases today and over the past week.

Nearly all of the news cases reported today were from tests conducted on Sunday, and almost half were in people under the age of 25.
And some of the detailed vaccination figures too!
