After a month of very boring slow PCR positivity fall in Liverpool, the recent rise & dip has started to look interesting still. Positivity is a mad stat though where the grey bars (number of tests) is just as important for the interpretation PCR testing is generally done for people who feel sick, mainly with the three “classic” symptoms (LFT advised two weekly/if you present ‘other’ symptoms)

And for other reasons like to confirm LF +ve, contact of a case etc

Pretty obvious considering how little seemed done in terms of specifics / actually sorting it out

Was always just a lie to try & nudge unvaccinated to take it up… did it work?

not sure it actually did much

No signal in increasing uptake after the original announcement, or after any other half-hearted stints ministers had on TV/radio

my unqualified bit on the 'overwhelmed' discussion

Think its complex & cant just put a number with respect to whole NHS, as if the virus was as simply spread neatly like below, since that's not how it works

E.g Liverpool was swamped last autumn while London was relatively sound

Like, latest data up the 7th Sep 21 has Liverpool University Hospitals FT already over half the ICU beds of January peak, a time where make-shift beds had to be made cos of how overwhelmed the situation was <- during a lockdown that constrained other resp virus & accidents

Weekly update on the #COVID19 situation in Liverpool: 15th Jan 2021

- Weekly cases possibly peak on 8th Jan at 5,419.
- Both under & over 60's rate starting to fall. 🙂
- BUT, Liverpool hospitals admissions have increased sharply, passing highest levels from 2nd wave 😩

1/19 Total weekly cases were seen to grow >3x that of previous week at end of year but weekly growth has now declined & cases are now falling.

The peak occurred 8th Jan but more importantly cases are still higher than in 2nd wave, so restrictions still necessary. 2/19

Weekly update on the #COVID19 situation in Liverpool: 8th Jan 2021

- Weekly cases now surpass 2nd wave's highest weekly number.
- Steep rise in both under & over 60's age groups.
- COVID patients in the Royal now on the up.

😕

1/18 Total weekly cases increased at a speed never seen during the 2nd wave, growing > 3x that of previous week.

Many reasons for this. Personal opinion; Christmas mixing probably dominating the rise, egged on by already recent increase in prevalence + new variant. 2/18
