Chart to compare the Admissions projections from the 8-Sep SPI-M-O consensus statement with actuals.
This are the projections being used as basis for calls for additional restrictions.
The document says the likely trajectory is between green and blue lines.
Selection of models from the 13-Oct SPI-M-O document for Autumn/Winter scenarios with the latest actuals.
Unusually, they have under-estimated but still goes to show how (as stated by the modellers themselves) they are not a reliable indicator of what will actually happen.
The most optimistic models for Admissions / Deaths from the 11-Dec LSHTM report on potential consequences of Omicron, with latest actuals applied.
Note that the report is marked as "PRELIMINARY � NOT PEER REVIEWED" and "work in progress".
Imperial "Hypothetical Country" Omicron Deaths Model from 16-Dec Report with latest England actuals applied in red. A bit rough due to low resolution input image but good enough to illustrate how the model doesn't match England reality.
Warwick 30-Dec Projections based on Early Omicron Variant Dynamics in England with latest UKHSA actuals applied in red. I think it says that if Omicron is half as bad as Delta then with no further restrictions (dark red line) we'll have 1000 deaths per day by 7th January.
Also included in the 30-Dec Warwick document (considerably less prominently) is a model for Omicron being 10% as severe as Delta and with 20% strength of restrictions. This still has England at about 310 daily deaths by 07-Jan, growing to a peak of 600 later in the month.

142,224 new #covid19uk positive tests reported today (10-Jan).
England down 16% on last Monday and day-1 LFD +ves are down 13%.
I expect we'll see another big catchup number on Wednesday but there are some quite big gaps for that to fill in without breaking the downward trend.
Animated chart to show LFD-only positives being either converted into PCR confirmed positives or removed due to negattive confirmation, over the last 14 days of reports.
Pivot table of daily changes to LFD Only and LFD Confirmed by PCR figures to see if we can identify where LFDs are now being removed due to negative follow-up PCRs.
North East starting to appear in the MSOA data now.
Updated (09-Jan) table of top 30 MSOAs (by rate) based on latest numbers in today's report.
Note this data lags behind LA figures so the short spikes have often dropped again by the time we see this detail.
Bringing back the view of how many weeks the MSOAs have been in the suppressed 'less than 3 +ves in the last week' category. Since they don't allow us to distinguish between zero / 1 / 2, we generally consider it to mean zero. Link to full table in reply below.
