Where will it end... 12th September as it happens

If it does go gently on Aleman, could be emotional.

 

he could post the updates on the COVID thread? Didn’t this start by discussing how the season would end?

 

I think he's become emotionally attached to this thread.

 

How can this be explained any other way than "northern" bias or racial profiling?

Figures for northampton way ahead , reaching numbers never reached in bradford yet still not locked down locally

 

Well, my efforts seem pointless if lockdowns are now going even more local. Plus it also seems pointless when deaths keep going down rapidly, regardless of whether reported new cases go up, down or sideways. They're either not tracking real virus prevalence well or else the virus has become much weaker recently. I'm quite happy to call it a day now.

 

More than half of all UK hospital admissions have been in Wales in the last week. Wales had more admissions on August 18th than the Northeast and Yorkshire had in the WEEK to August 18th, and with a population only about 35% as large. Hospitalisation trends have not tracked testing trends for many weeks, which says a lot about the testing.

Northampton figures have spiked due to a massive outbreak at a sandwich factory rather than across the city, so they have shut the factory

 

Yeah i didnt take that into consideration. Having said that Haven,t areas round here had same admittedly not bradford..a few meat firms in cleckheaton, the bed factory in batley etc.

 

they did and at the time weren’t hit with extra lockdowns

 

And another 66 announced today. We seem to be going wrong direction

Nice of somebody else to take over.


Do higher new cases matter if they are not producing significant numbers of deaths any more? There's been only one Covid death in Yorkshire hospitals in the last 4 days?

Depends on what the worry is. I know a few people that have had it and are still ill and unable to work 6/10 weeks later.

 

List of local areas in Bradford, Kirklees, and Calderdale where lockdown might be lifted on Thursday.

Https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/local-news/68-areas-west-yorkshire-most-18811305

 

surely it would depend on this weeks, looking at the list of Bradford areas some flip in and out each week

 

I tend to agree but would hesitate to use the word "surely" the way things have gone in recent months.

 

Well, we’ll see. Quite a speculative list. Bingley has been 0 to 2 throughout the local lockdown but doesn’t appear on the list, perhaps that is an oversight, looks like a quick glance at the map for one day and list (most) places not coloured blue and as Storck says, numbers vary. Quite a few riders mentioned to be discussed by councils and MPs.

 

Yep, it only takes one family to all test positive and suddenly you are off the list and staying on lockdown.

 

It's just a load of "Cobblers".

 

wibsey has been below 3 now (so hassn't appeared on weekly list) for 4 weeks, yet its not going to be lifted according to the examiner report??

 

Northeast and Yorkshire hospital admissions of 10 makes the last 7-days down slightly again to 58 which bodes well. The Yorkshire and UK trend still looks to be flat to down even if Wales looks flat to up and makes up just over half. (Wales' 54 makes for slight 7-day rise to 326, I think, without a calculator.)
