The 9am figures not disclosed yet?

In fairness I don’t think it’s any surprise that little adds up in terms of either words or actions from the government and it’s advisors.

They’ve called most things wrong since the virus appeared in the UK haven’t they and they took the easy way out by locking everything down.

The way they are going on just now would suggest they don’t have that much confidence in the vaccine for some reason, they seem to be turning back to testing.

What have SAGE actually got correct? 😀
 
As of 9am on 9 April, 4,365,461 people have tested positive for COVID-19 in the UK.

Positive cases were 3,150.

60 deaths were reported today

149,968 deaths with Covid-19 on the death certificate (up to 28 March)

31,903,366 have had a first dose vaccination. 96,242 first dose vaccinations yesterday. 6,541,174 have had a second dose. 449,269 second dose vaccinations today.

Note
Change to case reporting and revision to historical case data in England.
The way cases are reported has changed. This has resulted in the removal of a number of previously reported cases in England. This affects newly reported cases on 9 April 2021. Regions and local authorities do not show the actual number of new cases reported. UK and England numbers of newly reported cases have been adjusted and correctly reflect new cases reported.
 
I think those 'catch-up' deaths @Alvez_48 alluded to earlier in the week are actually spreading across a number of days rather than one big hit on Tuesday/Wednesday just gone.
I thought they would do that, so they don't have the bad press of a return to three-figure days.

I'm actually glad they've done it this way, as people would just see a big number and jump to conclusions, not realising the 4 day weekend was playing a part,.
 
I'm surprised the UK's coronavirus alert level remains at four.

Level four relates to transmission being high or rising exponentially which it isn't really.
That does pre-suppose the alert level is anything more than a countdown for the snouts in the trough BoroFur.
 
I've shared this before but I am reassured by the steady fall in hospitalisations, irrespective of reported deaths...
 
As of 9am on 10 April, 4,368,045 people have tested positive for COVID-19 in the UK.

Positive cases were 2,589.

40 deaths were reported today

149,968 deaths with Covid-19 on the death certificate (up to 28 March)

32,010,240 have had a first dose vaccination. 106,878 first dose vaccinations yesterday. 6,991,310 have had a second dose. 450,136 second dose vaccinations today.
 
Today's headline analysis:

• 2,584 new cases reported in 24-hour period, down from yesterday's 3,150
• 7-day average for new cases decreases by 4.2% to 2,709 per day, following 1.3% decrease yesterday (and 15th consecutive daily decrease)
• 7-day average for new cases is 32.1% lower than one week ago (from 32.2% lower yesterday) and 51.3% lower than two weeks ago (from 50.3% lower yesterday and 25.5% lower 7 days ago)
• 40 new deaths within 28 days of a positive test reported in 24-hour period, down from 60 yesterday
• 7-day average for new deaths within 28 days of a positive test increases by 13.4% to 36 per day, following 3.7% increase yesterday
• 7-day average for new deaths within 28 days of a positive test is 0.4% higher than one week ago (from 25.6% lower yesterday) and 43.7% lower than two weeks ago (from 54.2% lower yesterday and 61.6% lower 7 days ago)

I wouldn't be overly concerned about increases in the 7-day average for deaths. Still working through the impact of the double bank holiday weekend.

Billy, I'm thinking the 7 day average value on Friday 2nd April (Good Friday) is the one we don't want to see exceeded in the coming week or so.

On that date the 7 day average value was 43.

So progress against Government Phase 1 targets is as follows:-

Phase 1 - 1st dose

Target 32m by 15th April
Achieved 32.121m by 10th April ✅

Phase 1 - 2nd dose

Target 15m by 10th May
Achieved 7.466m by 10th April
Daily rate required to achieve 15m = 251k
Daily average of actual 2nd doses over the last 7 days = 297k
On target ✅

Were next phase targets made public?
 
Were next phase targets made public?
Just that by 31st July all of those in the 18-49 age range would be offered 1st dose vaccinations.
Approx. 21m people to vaccinate but no breakdown of numbers by age range or indeed any interim target deadlines quoted.
