Exactly two years ago today our Prime Minister spoke to us all saying “You must stay at home.” It seems a long time ago. At that stage there were no vaccines and no antivirals. We were just beginning to understand what coming out of the EU would mean for us. Today, two years later, WeContinue reading “March 23 2022”

The number of Covid 19 tests being done continues to rise by about 10% week on week. For the last 7 days it is almost 5 million tests, actually 4,997,040. This is almost 450, 000 more than the previous week. The number testing positive grows every day. In the last week 552,198. This is aContinue reading “March 18 2022”

Yet again the data was late, it finally was posted at 5 30pm, but lacked a lot of detail from Scotland. It is supposed to be released at 4pm each weekday. 4,700,764 tests have been done in the last week which is 325k more than the previous week and is a rise of 7.4 %.Continue reading “March 14 2022”

I have concerns tonight that we are beginning to see a change in the data suggesting that the number of new cases may be rising again. It comes at just the right time after the relaxation of all the rules. Today I was in Tesco’s wearing a mask, where they very politely request that weContinue reading “March 7 2020”

The first week of the new data presentation for Covid has been accompanied by the most distressing circumstances in Europe that most of us will have ever experienced. The 100 deaths a day from Covid has faded almost to insignificance compared to the thousands killed or injured in Ukraine. Over 1 million refugees created inContinue reading “March 4 2022”

I write my report tonight wondering how many of you will be able to read it, and even if I will be able to complete it before we lose electricity or telephone internet connections. Both are above ground supplies and its common to lose supply in storms like this in my area. So far soContinue reading “February 18 2022”

The number of tests being done have dropped significantly this week with only just over 880,000 on each of the last two days. The drop may be due to the fact people are on half term holiday and therefore not testing. It is equally possible that people have got fed up with testing and haveContinue reading “February 16 2022”

Last night’s data was not published until nearly 11pm and today’s has been delayed an hour. Boris may get it, but I cannot see any substantive changes in the data and there are no unexpected differences. Today it is reported that 1,217, 971 tests were completed yesterday, of which 112,468 were positive. It is onlyContinue reading “February 1 2022”

Did the leading tennis player in the world really expect that Australian officials would accept a name like Novak without checking his vaccine status. His poor parents must be wishing he had been given another name. Today’s figures continue to be encouraging. There were 1.57 million tests yesterday and 1.4 million today. These figures areContinue reading “Jan 14 2022”

I am pleased that today’s figures confirm the optimism of a couple of days ago was justified. We need a few more days data to be sure that the return to school has not caused a rise in cases. The number of tests done today is still a very significant 1.41 million but, is actuallyContinue reading “January 12 2022”
