There's some pretty significant fluctuations on those hospital numbers. A decrease of 15 in one day on those numbers is a lot - presume there's a reporting lag on discharges? 

Good news to see it fall in amongst the highest case numbers we've seen for some time.

Ooft back down to 83

The link broken yet?

I know hospital numbers are the important stat along with ICU and deaths, more specifically I reckon the 7 day average of admissions is probably going to be an important one given the fluctuations.

There's a reporting lag on admissions, think the overall hospital numbers are up to date though?

Last date of hospital admissions is Sun 23, when there were 13 new admissions.

Fluctuations aside, the hospital numbers are promising, a significant drop in 10 from the numbers in hospital in Greater Glasgow & Clyde. Fingers crossed it doesn't go back up tomorrow and it'll give them some confidence the link is broken.

Daily Cases Update:   No change to the upwards trajectory.  This time another 5.22% and positivity up to 1.9%.  

Scottish Govt will be sorely tested now with the new "case numbers do not matter" strategy we hope is finally evolving.

9 councils now go above the "old" 50 cases per 100K marker, and only Aberdeen of any real size left in the under 20 club.   Ibrox surges to the top of the Glasgow chart.

Looking in depth against England I can point out that Bolton accounts for over 10% of all English cases.  By comparison the rate per 100K in Liverpool is 7.4, Cardiff 10.6,  Most of London under 20, Essex 5.9.   Something is not yet adding up in Scotland.

Scotland peaked at 301.9 for figures 29th Dec to 4th Jan, (UK was 642.1)    Cases that day were 16,496 and test positivity rate was 11.9%  

Total Cases 7 days from 18th May to 24th May  were 2550 now 2683 up 5.22%.  Positivity was 1.8% now 1.9%.   Cases per 100k were 46.7 now 49.1

Home Nations Daily update:  UK Average  23.7 to 24.4 up 2.95%, England  22.5 to 23.1 up 2.67%,  Wales  8.8 to 9.0 up 2.27%, Northern Ireland 32.0 to 33.3 up  4.06%

In a weird sort of way, you almost want the case numbers to go up now.  Provided the admissions, ICU and deaths stay at a negligible level it's the best real-world definitive data that vaccines are working and will give the SG the confidence to unlock fully.  Hopefully.

Last few days of this are:



Admissions are up on a daily basis, and quite high on a percentage basis from the 8 per day of the previous week - but still up only a handful from there.

Where would you propose holding that in the vicinity of Hampden?

That was not the point I was making.

Back in the day the pitches where they put the Asda and houses would have been ideal.

In a non Covid world that level as shown in the picture could have been possible on Glasgow green. 

3.75% of that number around tables will not be great but its better than nothing.

[Bairnardo]

Given that vaccines are not 100% effective, we can expect a certain amount of hospitilisation where covid is prevalent in a community id assume.

The % of people who catch covid, for whom the vaccine is not enough to keep them catching it, and the % of those who actually require hospital treatment will be tiny though.

And transmission in the community in the long run is only going to go one way as we are second dosing like f**k and getting first doses into the last remaining adults.

Cohibas ablaze.

Where a vaccine is ineffective is that because it will always be ineffective with that individual or just on that occasion?

ie might they have better luck after jag 2 and boosters or will the vaccine just never protect them?

I don't know what to make of this. Is Cummings: a disgruntled ex-employee; a heroic maverick speaking truth to power; a Kremlin asset; or a reincarnation of Loki? Maybe he's all of the above.

He's a Grade A c**t. (And not in a good way.)

Finally got my AZ on the rocks today with no adverse effects (so far).

Hopefully Poland and Spain are now a little bit closer !!!

Only Northern Ireland have better numbers for deaths per 100k population in the UK. I'm also not completely sure of any numbers to show it, but although to start with our numbers were terrible, since after the first lockdown, deaths have been far fewer, including in care homes. 

Wait until the Troubles restart...

[anotherchance]

Some carry on with the vaccination line trying to find my details, the highlight of which was them escalating my case to the wrong health board which resulted in somebody in Glasgow phoning me up and reminding me that I didn't live in Glasgow so she couldn't help. 

Like anything I suppose, just a matter of getting lucky and speaking to somebody who has their head screwed on. No use getting annoyed at them as I imagine it's not been much fun having people screaming at you in your spare room because they can't get the right appointment or whatever.

Eventually got Tuesday after work, could have got Sunday but I'm not sure a two day hangover and potential jag side effects go together that well.

is it? i think once you take population size into account we don't look too good either?

We're also not the thinnest or healthiest bunch around either 

According to Travelling Tabby, the current numbers of deaths per 100k of population are:

UK - 191.2

Scotland - 140.3

As such, the Scottish death rate is 73.4% of the UK death rate.  Given it was marginally higher than the UK average after the 1st wave inn Spring / Summer 20, I would say something substantially different happened from Autumn 20 - Spring 21.
