Cases UP at 4,322. Nearly 1k up on yesterday and also on the weekly average

Deaths UP at 27 even limiting them to the 28 day count.

Hospital Covid patients UP now topping 1k.

From 633 to 988 in just 6 days in England.

Wales with a population of 3 million seems to have nearly as many as Scotland with 5 mill pop. But Scotland often seem late with updating hospital data.

Ventilator beds UP. These are the most severely ill

In England they have more than doubled in two weeks.

This is a report on positive cases by specimen date.

It gives us some idea of the speed of processed cases.

So in 24 hours v low. Usually P1 hospital cases where swabbing and processing close by.

But it shows what a lag there is in turn around

How many are voided as too old?

@jneill has kindly done a moving infection heat map from 1/6/20 to 13/9/20 so the gradual changes can be seen to run into one another. https://twitter.com/jneill/status/1306978619181486085

And this provides data about how the heat map is moving through the age groups.

The week up to w/e 13 Sept v w/e 6/9/20

Yes. It IS increasing in older age groups.

For those who missed @ADMBriggs excellent thread yesterday on the most recent Test & Trace report.

Yes. Testing is up but so is the crucial positivity rate.

Now 4.1% of people tested in Pillar 2 (from 3.1% previous week)

And 1% of people tested in pillar 1 ( from 0.6%)
