Well over 1 million tests have been done daily according to the figures published for the last three days. Today mass testing in schools began in England as the bulk of school children returned.

I think there is no doubt now that all the figures are going in the wrong direction despite everyone’s best efforts.

The Covid pandemic, at least in England, is in a quiet phase. The statistics for the last 3 days are influenced by the weekend. When there are only low numbers, percentage change gets distorted, and it is much better to look at the total figures for the last 7 days to get a better pictureContinue reading “August 9 2021”

The number of daily tests for Covid being done seems to have settled at around 830k per day. I suspect we shall see this kind of figure throughout August although it may rise when people are testing instead of isolating. The numbers positive are 30,215 yesterday and 31, 808, only a very slight rise butContinue reading “August 6 2021”
