The latest figures from the ONS Infection Survey estimate that 1 in 30 people in Scotland currently has Covid-19, which is down from 1 in 25 last week, and 1 in 19 the week before!

Here are some of the additional figures from the ONS Infection Survey.

Due to the bank holiday weekend, no local data has been included this week.

ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati… ImageImage
Here are some of the local case and death figures for today too ImageImageImage
Some further changes have been made to the page too, in preparation for the switch to weekly reporting.

The 'at a glance' section here now gives weekly figures rather than daily figures. ImageImageImageImage
Additionally, the dates which make up all of the weekly increase figures have been adjusted.

The weekly increases of cases/tests now show the 7 days up to 4 days before today, and for deaths, it is the 7 days up to 11 days before today.
The chart below shows the change for cases. The 7 day figure is now made up of the days in the green box, rather than the red box.

Not a big change, but it should give an extra day to minimize any potential delays in reporting. Image
For deaths it is a much bigger change. I thought this would be best, as the old range meant that we were always undercounting deaths in the most recent week by quite a bit.

I think the new range should show the trend better, even if it is a bit more out of date. Image
These changes mean that the weekly figures on my page won't match the official ones on the PHS dashboard anymore, but I think they'll help improve the reliability of looking at weekly increases/decreases as we move to only looking at the weekly trends and not the daily trends
Today is actually the last time the page will be (fully) updated on a Friday!

From next week the page will only be fully updated on Monday/Thursdays. Then only on Wednesdays by the end of the month.
Next week, the main changes will be the removal of all 'new today' figures, with 'new this week' figures replacing them.

The 'Cases and Deaths by Date Reported' chart will also probably be replaced with a 'Cases and Deaths by Specimen Date' one

When I started this page, I was 24... and now I'm 27 😮

Can't believe it has been going on that long! 😅

But as it has been a while, I thought I would share a thread about the page and where it is going... 🧵
Back in February, I was hoping to switch to weekly updates in March and then scale back further in May. Evidently, that didn't happen..

With case rates spiking so much, and the general anxiety surrounding the lifting of restrictions, I didn't think it was appropriate to do that. Image
For most people (especially after the vaccination rollout), the virus isn't as much of a concern anymore, and checking the figures every day isn't all that useful.

That is reflected when I look at the page traffic, which is at its lowest level since 2020! 📉 Image

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas! 🎅

I just wanted to quickly mention some changes to the page. Mostly just about some of the charts that I've removed, and a couple of other small changes!

As a reminder, neither the Scotland or UK page will be updated until Wednesday.
So firstly, on the Scotland page, this chart was removed. It hasn't been updated for over a month anyways 😅

You can still view vaccination data for the priority groups on the PHS dashboard here: public.tableau.com/app/profile/ph…
Secondly, on both the Scotland UK page, the R number charts were removed.

These are becoming increasingly useless as they just show what the situation was like 3 weeks ago, and don't actually reflect where we are now.

Merry Christmas everyone!! 😺🎅

A gift for us all: there will be no data released on Christmas Day or Boxing Day, so we can try to put the current situation into the back of our minds.. for a couple of days at least! Image
Here is a full schedule for the next couple of weeks!

There will be some English data being released on the red days (other than Christmas/Boxing day), but I still won't be updating the UK page as it would be England only. I'll try to tweet out some of the figures though! Image
During the break, I'm hoping to make some changes too. Mostly it will just be removing old/uninteresting charts, to try and make the updates easier and improve the performance of the page.

I'll tweet out about anything that is removed or changed though!

Dundee City now has the second-lowest 7-day case rate in Scotland.

That means that the three cities of Glasgow, Dundee, and Edinburgh, have the three lowest case rates in the country (Aberdeen is a lot higher up).

#covid19scotland #DailyCovidUpdate
Also, all of the weekly data has been updated, including the hospital admission figures here, which are still falling!
The weekly NRS death figures were updated too.

There were 115 new deaths reported this week, which is down quite a bit from last week, and the lowest it has been in a week in quite a while.

Excess deaths were about the same as last week though.

Torridge in the South West of England now has the highest 7-day case rate in the UK, after cases have nearly doubled there in the past week.

#Covid19UK #coronavirusuk #DailyCovidUpdate
All of the weekly data on the UK page has been updated now too, including these vaccination figures!

Looks like we should hit 50% of 12-17 year olds being vaccinated with their first dose in the coming days!
This chart was updated too, putting the overall situation into perspective.

Unfortunately cases are going up again, but hopefully it will just be another repeat of them rising for a little while, and then falling sharply out of the blue!
