do people who don’t like covid/lockdown pick a data point and try to use it to justify that things aren’t really that bad

julia somebody seems to be banging a drum about 30000 in hospital but they’ve all got broken legs or something.

If you want to play covid denier bingo, take a look at the response to @UKCovid19stats daily update posts.

"How many of those that died, died of a car crash but just happened to have covid too"
"How many died with, not of"
"I went to my local hospital and it was dead, quieter than usual"
"For the last 2 weeks the ons has reported no excess deaths despite covid allegedly being 50% of the deaths. That means all other causes have gone into decline and that's not possible. Non covid deaths are being recorded as covid ones."
"Within 28 days of a positive test. How many of these people passed away from other winter illness and not covid."

Take your pick!

The hospital one is weird on to choose isn’t. Sick people don’t walk in hospitals, they usually stay on a wards. Was there as part of a scan on Saturday. Not many people walking the corridors other than medical staff.... some people would take that as the hospital being covid free

• 52,618 new cases reported in 24-hour period, down from yesterday's 62,322

2nd highest daily deaths on record.
 
I agree with @Statto1 that the weekend figures should keep the average below 1,000. Plus, there is almost certainly some bank holiday effect in the numbers for the past two days, so hopefully they will come down a bit over the next few days.

That said, the rising infection and hospital admission numbers are clearly storing up problems for the future. The lockdown will hopefully begin to bring these down over the next couple of weeks, but we saw in the 1st wave that the daily death numbers appear to be stubbornly difficult to bring down at the same pace.

I had to re read that as I thought it said

I went to my local hospital and I was dead, quieter than usual.

Well you will be if you're dead🤔

Let's hope so, I have a very bad feeling about this though, if there is no bank holiday effect we are in deep ****
 
UK deaths per million of population 1,173
Italy 1,290
Belgium1,716
Czechia 1,194
Slovenia 1,417
Bosnia 1,310
North Macedonia 1,239
San Marino 1,884
Liechtenstein 1,257

Out of those countries only Italy and perhaps Belgium are comparable to the UK
THE REST OF THE WORLD HAS LOWER NUMBERS.
I am going to post this again as an OP
Never mind Trump getting the sack this bunch of tossers need to go asap
 
Today's headline analysis:

• 68,053 new cases reported in 24-hour period, up from yesterday's 52,618
• 7-day average for new cases increases by 3.7% to 59,344 per day, following 0.8% decrease yesterday (and 30th increase in the past 32 days)
• 7-day average for new cases is 30.3% higher than one week ago (from 34.3% higher yesterday) and 70.1% higher than two weeks ago (from 67.0% higher yesterday and 90.2% higher 7 days ago)
• 1,325 new deaths within 28 days of a positive test reported in 24-hour period, up from 1,162 yesterday
• 7-day average for new deaths within 28 days of a positive test increases by 14.4% to 809 per day, following 4.2% increase yesterday (and 10th consecutive daily increase)
• 7-day average for new deaths within 28 days of a positive test is 46.9% higher than one week ago (from 29.9% higher yesterday) and 55.0% higher than two weeks ago (from 38.6% higher yesterday and 27.1% higher 7 days ago)

New records for daily cases and 7-day average for new cases for 5th day out of the past 7 days.

Highest daily deaths on record.
 
Comparing Wave 2 with Wave 1:

Highest number of positive tests reported (7-day average) as a proportion of all tests processed (7-day average) since 29th April (same date as last week).
Higher 7-day average for hospital admissions than at any point in the 1st Wave
Higher number of people in hospital than at any point in the 1st Wave
Highest number of people on ventilation since 29th April (13 days earlier than last week).
Highest 7-day average for new deaths within 28 days of a positive test since 24th April (10 days earlier than last week).
First instance of four consecutive days with 830 or more new deaths announced since 18th April (no comparison was possible last week, but 14 days earlier than the comparison with 570 or more deaths on four consecutive days from two weeks ago).

I think it is becoming obvious that the 2nd Wave will almost certainly be worse than the 1st Wave on all metrics. Therefore, I think this comparison has become redundant and I shall retire it.
 
At least the government now recognise the need for proper border controls against the virus. Late isn't really the word. It should have been implemented nearly a full year ago. Numpsters in charge. If Boris ran a bar on a sinking cruise liner he would keep selling until it sank below the waves. No wealth without health. Penny dropped in the end.
Useless prat looking more out of his depth with every passing day.

Just a query on the ‘tested positive’ figure above -

Is this the official no of people who have tested positive since the start of testing? And is it the aggregate of the daily positives figure?

What I am clarifying is that it does not include more than one positive test of the same person?

The definition is:
Number of people with at least one positive COVID-19 test result (either lab-reported or lateral flow device), by specimen date. Individuals tested positive more than once are only counted once, on the date of their first positive test.
