Under these rules Erling Haaland would be playing for England but Raheem Sterling wouldn't. It's all a bit nuanced really init.

That Terry Butcher, what a plastic he was.

Just walked to the shop, cars flooding the nearby McDonald's and two had collided near the exit.

220k tests with only 1800 cases, signs were going in the right direction with more testing and less cases... would have expected a big spike with nearly double the tests

How many people tested?

Have we had double the tests or have we just started counting each test as two as reported? Are they reporting number of people tested yet?

176 deaths! Although each death is terrible that’s low for a Thursday and shows we’re on the downward trend

 

[PVA]

He said "220,057 tests carried out or posted out yesterday."

So probably about 80k tests in reality

Making people where face coverings on public transport but not when out in mass bike rides, good one

That's definitely a step in the right direction.

Deffo mate every death is a tragedy but it being under 180 shows we are deffo heading the right way, think it was in the 300s last Thursday

Let's hope it keeps that way and some of these gatherings recently haven't acted as a catalyst for another increase.

Hospital admissions are up though

"up 74 from yesterday and up 30 from this time last week. This is the first time the 7 day rolling average for new admissions has risen since April 8th."

 

[David O'Day]

Let's wait for a few days of lower deaths first please.

It was like this in April oh it's gone down, nope it has gone back up

Well given the % of hospitalised people who don't make it I'm fairly certain it'll be going back up again

The daily death rate is a misleading figure. Infection rate is a better one.

Which happily has trended slightly down we don't yet know how many people tested.

'What about trains going into Scotland and Wales?'

'Their administrations will probably end up copying us'

He also does realise that continental Europe is closer to many in SE England than Scotland is?

He mentioned the a66 yet?

[fernandopartridge]

The underlying data is published, i hadn't realised that:

Slides, datasets and transcripts to accompany coronavirus press conferences

Admissions up day on day 17%, that is a big number.

Edit: In fact, it's the sixth highest day of admission growth as percentage since 20 March.

There is a definite reporting lag in the data, as approx every 7 days there is a growth in admissions reported which looks odd

Fucking hell. I forgot about him going on about that last time he was doing the rounds. The fucking gimp.

 

[shmmeee]

Something funny about that number. Big drops/rises don’t make a lot of sense with this data, usually either we’ve just discovered a cache of tests down the back of the sofa, or we’ve just lost a load.

Good news, but colour me skeptical until we get a few more days of detail. This time next week we should know what effect easing lockdown has had, no?

 

[chiefdave]

"up 74 from yesterday and up 30 from this time last week. This is the first time the 7 day rolling average for new admissions has risen since April 8th."

Does todays number of deaths mean the 7 day average is going down again? Think its started to rise the last few days sadly.

Karl Friston: up to 80% not even susceptible to Covid-19 - UnHerd



Anyone going to piss on this too? Or is the second wave imminent like it has been longer than the efl board meetings?

If I'm understanding this correctly the author may have misinterpreted what this means. The assumption was always that the majority of people wouldn't be affected or would only have very mild symptoms. It was one of the reasons why we were so relaxed about it early on. So, I think it makes no difference to how lockdown is eased (as suggested in the article) or whether there will be a second peak but it might be one of the reasons of the disparities between countries. I don't think it will be the main factor or absolve governemnts of responsibility (although I'm sure many will try).

Almost hit 40000 why has no one asked about why if 20000 was good is 40000 terrible and who and what is to blame?

Tough questions get fobbed off or are turned around and used to criticise those asking them.
