Perhaps but we had a terrible first peak and have wiped the floor with it on the second. This is the double dip of the second wave as I predicted would happen.
History shows that viruses have a second, third and possibly fourth peak. The second is generally worse than the first.
It was inevitable that no matter what restrictions were taken we would suffer worse this time than the first outbreak.
Fingers crossed with the injections we can avoid a severe third/fourth peak. (Arguably this is the third as it dipped after November lockdown).
Please remember that the the daily death figures are from the day reported.
So todays numbers included back dated figures.
Covid: UK reports 1,820 deaths as Johnson warns tough weeks to come
A further 1,820 people die in the UK within 28 days of a positive test - another all-time high.www.bbc.co.uk
"Just under half of the newly reported deaths reported occurred on Tuesday, while a further quarter took place on Monday or Sunday."
Obviously the numbers are still far too hight and its inedibly sad.
But the positive case rate is dropping. So a little bit of good news.
You keep saying this but the deaths by date of death data is just as fucking awful
Just FYI
View attachment 18310
But yes the numbers are awful. But it does appear the headline numbers have to be taken with a pinch of salt to get a true daily reflection.
I expect the numbers to be just as high for the next week or so sadly. Then it should start to drop inline with the drop in positive cases.
and? I've linked you to the deaths per day of death figures so reporting delays have fuck all to do with anything
The actual deaths per day are at a par with the very worse we have seen and given the hospitalisation rates and time from test to hospital to death are likely to be high for a while.
Peak of new cases yes peak of deaths not a chance, got to remember deaths follow normally 3/4 weeks after, deaths will be in the thousand/s until mid Feb at the earliest.The press quote 1800 daily deaths what include delays and actual per day is 1000-1100. So you do need to take them with a pinch of salt.
At no point have I said any thing about being less than what we have seen. All I said if you have to take the daily with a pinch of salt as some people use it as a gospel.
But if you look at the data it looks like we might have passed the peak.

Awful start to the year and significant problems in the north with flooding in the news if you can find it under BBC’s 3 day USA wide on
Front page of the bbc site next to this which is awful

There's been a few of these. I just don't get it, are they giving that as a BS excuse to cover something else?I can’t be the only one who stopped reading this article the moment it stated that the kebab house wasn’t named?
Dad travelled 170 miles with wife and kids for a kebab in Cov
He travelled from Exeter to Coventry then crashed on the return journey near Bristolwww.coventrytelegraph.net
p.s. I recommend German Doner Kebab
Their top choice of dealer is in Coventry, I'd wagerThere's been a few of these. I just don't get it, are they giving that as a BS excuse to cover something else?
Surely nobody in their right mind does that even when there's not a pandemic, I'll thing about getting a Nando's and not bother as its too much hassle to go and pick up and that's 5 minutes away.

tbh, it's as much the hassle of organising things while there are restrictions, as much as the risk of it not being able to happen on the day.I wasnt going but thats a kick in the teeth.
We're being promised a lot more normality with the vaccine yet this is cancelled 6 months already.
Doesnt bode well for summer does it

Its not so much a case of what things will be like in the summer as the uncertainly. The costs of putting on a festival don't start the day they open the gates or even the day they start putting the bill together.Doesnt bode well for summer does it
Glasto is June and you'd think the majority of the crowd would be in groups not covered but the first round of vaccinations.Being realistic, the priority people can only really be considered vaccinated once they've had their second jab, which is looking like it'll be well into May.
Shambala tickets are going on sale as the organisers are optimistic they'll be able to do it in late August. Glastonbury was never going ahead with the size of it and it being early season.I wasnt going but thats a kick in the teeth.

Isn't there an SBT poster who now lives in Exeter???There's been a few of these. I just don't get it, are they giving that as a BS excuse to cover something else?

Would you really risk putting 200K people, mostly unvaccinated, in a field for a week in pretty unhygienic conditions? Seems a big risk to take.
Doesn't mean you won't be able to go and sit in a pub beer garden in the summer.

Dont really see the issue, not really a kick in the teeth.
More naive to think shit like that will happen this year and people booking holidays.
Yeah cancelled our holiday again, going to Wales instead hopefully.Aye postponed the honeymoon this year, going down south instead
You need to give it a second try. The one in the Burges is lovely.I tried GDK, didn't rate it at all. My favourite place in Cov is Pasha on Far Gosford St

I’ve used Pasha a lot over the past few years, mainly when hanging on a Monday, and it is ok but not a patch on Antalya which is the best Turkish in Cov IMO.
Can you park anywhere down there if you order for collection?The one in the Burges is lovely.
Seems to be a shortage of a decent Mexican in Cov.Disappointing there’s no good Greek places to my knowledge
