4,926 cases in the UK today. Wow.

Considering they only made masks mandatory in most indoor places with their so-called 'new measures' today is that really surprising?

Boggles · 22-09-2020 04:22PM

90,454 tests in the past week. Getting towards the 100,000.

Almost 2,000 positive swabs in the past 7 days.

284 a day.

Positive rate has remained above 2, but with 17,000 odd more tests.

So today is no outlier.

Your definition of personal must be very different from mine.

I'm not surprised, it's just genuinely alarming that the UK is about to shoot past the record daily increase set in April if the current trend continues over the next couple of days.

It is but interesting to see at the same time how far less terrified people are now of that kind of number than March.

Are they not testing more people now and better targeted ?

I can handle a 350

In fact I'd say it's below expectations. Mine anyway.

We could be looking at 10,000 + cases a day in the UK this time next month, assuming they don't implement strict lockdown measures. People will start to care when the impact on hospitals starts to filter through.

Their testing and contact tracing system has been in bits for the last couple of weeks. Can't keep up with demand. A lot of people can't even get a test.

It's all about the deaths and the hospitals for me...

Yeah, didn't they ask Paul Reid for help?

Mind boggling how they're in such a bad way test wise!

It was 357 last Tuesday.

It's not good, it's just that it could easily be worse.

1 in 40 tests are coming back positive, and depending on deaths and icu admissions, 350 is fine.

Panicking over a number guess with no surrounding data is delusion.

I know lol. And don't mention the word Alarming or you will be classed has a doom-slayer for eternity. The spin put on numbers by some is more dangerous than a person being over cautious.

Looking at circa 350 I'd say

What's with the use of circa, I find it so odd to see it being used outside the context of historical dates.

I guess it makes you sound legit though, I must use that one. Circa out.

Screen time linked to rising mental health issues in children – study

TonyMaloney · 22-09-2020 05:06PM

383 new cases in Scotland
181 in Glasgow and Clyde region.

Jeez Glasgow is matching Dublin as Scotland's epicentre.

MM mentioned a breakdown of last weeks (I think) tests today.
Community 52k
Acute 20k
Serial Tests 13k

Is the positive % for each category readily available. Might be useful if this info was given weekly.

It's a statistical anomaly known as an outlier. You learn that when you study statistics.
