Where are the biggies coming from? 

Homes is by far the biggest. The % stats are excluding homes.

The figures are apparently a bit dubious because the tracking and tracing has been miles more succesfull in places where you know the contacts well. So in home, schools,  work, hospitals care homes, its miles easier to track everyone. Not as easy in a pub, or restaurant because some places weren't doing it, some gave fake details, etc.

No wet frites here, sorry Peely got my brolly up - I said that the logic was flawed remember. Just as Spider’s was to say that the new measures were “proven” to be working.

That said, “Other” deaths being up by a greater amount, irrespective of the infection date for those marked covid, must be a cause for investigation or at least concern....if this is all about winning and not being right of course :)

Its a pain in the arse to get your head round how the lags in the stages of the illness occur and the reporting of it because the reporting parameters keep on changing, but basically it goes like this.

Day 1 infection

Day 2 -5 most get symptoms (30% don't get any)

Day 3- 7 most symptomatic get a test.

Day 4-8 most positive symptomatic get test result

Day 10 - 14 most recovered or hospitalised

Day 14 - 22 most die or released from hospital.

The reporting of these can be several days behind, and there's outliers who take weeks to get symptoms and months to die/recover.

So you need to wait almost a month to see policy changes take effect in reported death numbers, and by the time you get to review them, something else has changed in the meanwhile, and everyone is onto the latest headline in the news.

 

But yeah, other deaths up, is shite snd no doubt a consequence of this load of wank.

The fake details is shocking. Heard that a while back- can't understand why anyone would do it.

I'm intrigued as to how these percentages are allocated. Given the suggestion was that the bottom bull/non-conforming holiday maker were behind our initial spike, any subsequent infections from those there will be in other locations. However, if the initial cause hadn't happened (folk following rules?) then the subsequent ones don't happen.

Perhaps its seen as being alcohol fuelled socialising that sparks off the spikes initially and then the rest follow- peely?

To be expected I suppose. There's miles more people in schools/work/hospitals and homes than there are down the boozer.

Its this, if you read the detail, you can see why its not great data so far.

See to me that just says that the restrictions are working

In which case, we can't open up pubs and restaurants until we hae a vaccine?

But hospital admissions are down. These are Tuesday numbers so the weekend catch up seems to inflate then. Although still worrying.

I'd be hoping it's more "we'll reopen, and if you don't play by the rules and we see spikes again, it's your own fault and we'll shut down again"

There's a load of data missing that I'd want to see before creating that graphic, like how many of the weekly cases have been transmitted in an unknown venue. The data only covers 721 incidents in a week, so where's all the other several  thousand cases been transmitted? If "unknown" is tens of thousands for example, then all the other % are miniscule. I bet the app will provide better data.

how many people have died of flu this week?

how many people have committed suicide this week

how many people have died from cancer this week

how many people have died in road accidents

how many people have gone insane reading leigh white's posts this week?

Know of a driving instructor in Bolton who has contacted their clients to let them know they are positive, whether they've passed it to clients or a client passed it to them we will never know.

Know that unis are pissing in the wind but trying their best, they've locked down halls in Manchester for example but there were plenty who visited those halls the first few weekends but would never get track and traced. Also know some places in Manny seem to just be letting people in with no checking at all, under agers who are using real (but not their ID) not even getting checked.

Also know I never wore a mask when I went to the 'luminations on Saturday while walking down from Bispham on the lights side and it was outside and socially distanced but coming back up on the other side for a spell was fucking ridiculous. No distancing and big throngs of people with no masks on, walked in the road and put mine on while getting through that bit after not bothering at first so I'm as bad as them really.

Why the fuck we went to lights yet again is even more mind boggling than the whole Covid thing.
