Interesting, but not entirely convinced because he didn't posit any reasons for the trends he was describing. Main thing was the disconnect between incidence rate and mortality compared with the first wave, prople don't seem to be dying so much. Why?

Younger more healthy demographic?

Better treatment?

A lot of at risk cohort already dead?

Virus is somehow less deadly?

 

Thing is, we're only in September. Its true winter I fear most. 

Also seems to completely ignore the 4 week lag between catching the disease and dying.

Nah, Spain (shown above) started to see its cases shoot up from the last week of July on. Still no similar increase in deaths though. France is below - their rise in cases came a week or two later, but still they haven't seen a knock on effect on deaths. 

 

The rise in deaths that should have happened by now if this was the same as March/April, just hasn't happened.

I couldn't find the hospitalisation figures but I think I'm right in saying that hospitalisations are nothing like what we would expect either. 

 

You're right about the vulnerable being at risk through the winter though. But something weird seems to have happened in the interaction between cases and deaths.

Hospitals are beginning to struggle in some areas of France and are rising fairly rapidly in the NW here. I agree the two peaks in the incidence graphs are apples and pears. But I also know about exponential growth. I fear we may be earlier in a second wave than the incidence data suggests. Doesn't tell you where it will go though. These things are always much worse i  winter.

North east Lockdown on Friday 


The clip of the lockdown rules man :lol:

 

- You're still allowed to go to the pub, but only with people from your household 

 

- You're still allowed on holiday, but only with people from your household 

 

Good luck enforcing that!

I think it might mean 0.01 am friday morning, so not a weekend night. Also pubs aren't shutting anyway and the few I've been to here have pretty strict social distancing. Only 2 pubs admittedly. I don't think it will be like last time. Hope it has some effect but I'm doubtful. Childcare will be the biggest issue.

Aye your right with the timing mate my mistake.

Newcastle City Council leader Nick Forbes tweeted: "Some additional, temporary restrictions are being planned to prevent another full lockdown."

In a reply to another Twitter user, Mr Forbes added: "We are waiting confirmation from Government on the final version of the regulations; I am expecting an announcement by the Health Secretary at 11am tomorrow."

That at least makes some sense re: the timing.
