The latest figures released continue to show substantial improvement across the board. Less than 100, 000 people have tested positive in the last week for the first time for many months. We know most cases are asymptomatic, so this figure does not indicate how the pandemic is going. Only 63,296 positive cases in 1.6 millionContinue reading “May 18 2022”

The statistic show we continue to improve our position in respect of Covid. It has not gone away yet but today in the UK things are almost back to normal. For most people, if you do contract it, its very mild thanks to immunisation. The numbers requiring hospital admission have plummeted. Having said that, twoContinue reading “May 25 2022”

The Government web site from where I get most of my statistics reports that today’s figures are delayed, and they do not know when they will be released. I am therefore basing today’s report on yesterday’s figures. Now only 1,78 million tests have been done in the last week, the number is dropping by aboutContinue reading “May 11 2022”

The situation continues to improve after the latest Bank Holiday and the statistics are promising. With testing no longer required the number being done continues to drop and those positive are now well below 100,000 in the last week. The number of patients with Covid admitted in the week ending 30th April was only 7,703Continue reading “May 4 2022”

As the latest bank holiday weekend begins we can be pleased to see improvements in all the markers as Covid has much less of an impact at least in the UK. Life is slowly returning to a new normality. This is not yet the case everywhere, with South Africa poised for a new 5th waveContinue reading “April 29 2022”

The General situation with Covid continues to improve, it should be less of a problem as the summer draws nearer. Testing is largely suspended and the number testing positive in the last 7 days continues to fall. We now accept if you do not test you will not find asymptomatic cases. It is the hospitalContinue reading “April 27 2022”

The data being provided is becoming more difficult to interpret again. As an example, because of changes with the way Public Health Wales collects its data the figures for daily vaccinations in Wales are not included in the weekly UK figure. There are still about 2.25 million tests being done each day, with a smallContinue reading “April 25 2022”

The situation generally continues to improve here in the UK, but there is at least one anomaly in the data released today to try and explain. Testing seems to have started increasing again. This may be work related, but it is encouraging to see. Consequently, there have been 10,000 more positive tests in the lastContinue reading “April 22 2022”

With the extended holiday over Easter it has been a week since my last report. The good news is that the situation is clearly now improving again. We can be confident that for now, at least in the UK, things are going in our favour again. The same cannot, however, be said in all partsContinue reading “April 20 2022”

Today I have driven nearly 300 miles to get to an important meeting and then rushed home to do the Wednesday report. I find that Governments statistics will be published again tomorrow, but then with the Easter break and Bank holiday there will be no reports published again until the Tuesday after Easter. As thereContinue reading “April 13 2022”
