Figured.

You almost had my hopes up.

58 deaths occurred in January.

There are 3 deaths where the date of death is under investigation

The median age of those who died was 83 years and the age range was 41-100 years

Seven day average is 2890 cases per day. This day last week it was 5440.

It's a fantastic decline in cases.

It's not fantastic enough!

So where are the majority of these cases coming from given that Xmas/NY all well over?

Pre-seeded chains of transmission. Many of the cases and deaths in the coming weeks are already on train. We're making good progress. Unfortunately, it's going to be some time before case numbers drop into the 100s and possibly longer before deaths tail off.

Spread in families or close contacts.

The average case still has 2.5 close contacts. That's enough for spread to still happen.

If we had 100,000 a day and went full lock down we might have 50,000 a day the next week. It would be a massive decline but its always relative based on the volume of cases.

Full lockdown will never get an R number below. 5 imo which roughly halves every infection cycle (which is approx one week).

Nice

200 cases a day by end of Feb if that keeps up

That part is important

People have other things wrong with them as well you know

The UK have two numbers - those that died within 28 days of a positive test (93,290 at 20/01/21) and those with Covid on the death cert (95,829 on 08/01/21).

You hope that's the minimum they are down too by then! Hopefully under 50

Don't think we will see 50 before summer

That's with a vaccine.

Unfortunately the resumption of testing of close contacts and the inevitable reopening of education and construction will most likely put paid to those hopes.

Discrepancies between the Briefing numbers and the confirmed numbers next day is seriously off in some cases.

That would be outrageous if so.

DraftDodger · 20-01-2021 07:30PM

Still so high unfortunately.

What do we need to get out of level 5?

Yeah they are. No online sales either.

Cases below 1,000 and falling plus far lower hospitalisations and ICU numbers, under 50 in ICU for sure.

Hospiteals in a safe position afaik

Of course comparing 7 day rolling averages from one week with a substantial backlog to the next week with no backlog doesn't tell us much. Whatever reduction rate in new cases we're seeing will slow down once more close contacts are being tested again

It's less than 50 in ICU I think

Cases below 1000 would be too high imo

Think Varadkar mentioned 50 or less cases in ICU to ease restrictions significantly. Not sure what level specifically he means by that or how many cases though.

spookwoman · 20-01-2021 07:49PM

Briefing vs confirmed numbers

My thoughts are more with the 41 year old. Terribly young and a reminder that this isn't just a disease that kills the over 80s.
Anyhow RIP to all no matter what age they were.
