What I think this means is that 701 new cases were reported today, but 177 old duplicate cases were removed from the overall total, meaning that the total number of cases only increased by 524. Removing old test data doesn't mean today's total is wrong. Unless they do that every day and announce the number of positive results as a net change, that seems like clutching at straws. Cases are slowly increasing, and we all know why. I don't trust the likes of Leitch, Sridhar etc to have the balls to dismiss the trend even if hospital numbers keep falling.

So what about all the over 60's who don't even own a smart phone or have any idea how to use one ? What about those who can't afford a smartphone and are unable to get credit to purchase one via a contract ? As I've said, even in the over 60 category these days the number of people who do not have a mobile will likely be tiny. I'm sure local councils/GPs can arrange some sort of card which digitally holds their vaccine info for them if they are unable to get access to a phone. I've got about 4 old phones in my house that I would happily give to any friends or family who need one, I'm sure you and plenty others would do the same. Nobody needs to sign up to EE on an 18 month deal. This is what I mean when I said people are making it out to be much worse than it actually will be.

The Moonster Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Second highest cases are kids and the first and third are their parents/grandparents. Who'da thunk it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Highest cases are the people who havent been vaccinated. Anyone interpreting it differently at this stage is either desperate for a childish argument (fair enough tbh) or desperate for continued restriction. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make a case for the 20-24 group to have highest case rates - look at the table. That's 397 for a five year group ( average 79 per year) and 1340 for a twenty year group (average 67 per year)....similarly the high number of young children infected is spead over fifteen ages.

I'm not desperate for any argument nor do I want restrictions for 1 more day than is required, I just thought the figures pretty clearly supported the view that schools are pushing transmission of the virus here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Well, we'll just have to get on with it, won't we? You can sit in the garden, it's not like you'll be stuck indoors."We" as if you're not a 90 year old pensioner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's about 20% of people don't have a bank account, I'd be surprised if there's not a similar or larger % without a smartphone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 My main takeaway from the figures are that cases may well be rising, and have been for 3 weeks or so, but hospitalisations are not. That *should* see us drop the obsession with case numbers.. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once case numbers become irrelevant, so do case drivers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
