220k tests with only 1800 cases, signs were going in the right direction with more testing and less cases... would have expected a big spike with nearly double the tests

Have we had double the tests or have we just started counting each test as two as reported? Are they reporting number of people tested yet?

He said "220,057 tests carried out or posted out yesterday."

So probably about 80k tests in reality

Hospital admissions are up though

"up 74 from yesterday and up 30 from this time last week. This is the first time the 7 day rolling average for new admissions has risen since April 8th."

Well given the % of hospitalised people who don't make it I'm fairly certain it'll be going back up again

The daily death rate is a misleading figure. Infection rate is a better one.

Which happily has trended slightly down we don't yet know how many people tested.

Something funny about that number. Big drops/rises don’t make a lot of sense with this data, usually either we’ve just discovered a cache of tests down the back of the sofa, or we’ve just lost a load.

Good news, but colour me skeptical until we get a few more days of detail. This time next week we should know what effect easing lockdown has had, no?

Does todays number of deaths mean the 7 day average is going down again? Think its started to rise the last few days sadly.

Karl Friston: up to 80% not even susceptible to Covid-19 - UnHerd



Anyone going to piss on this too? Or is the second wave imminent like it has been longer than the efl board meetings?

If I'm understanding this correctly the author may have misinterpreted what this means. The assumption was always that the majority of people wouldn't be affected or would only have very mild symptoms. It was one of the reasons why we were so relaxed about it early on. So, I think it makes no difference to how lockdown is eased (as suggested in the article) or whether there will be a second peak but it might be one of the reasons of the disparities between countries. I don't think it will be the main factor or absolve governemnts of responsibility (although I'm sure many will try).
