How bad is it in your area

[Kimpeach22]

Just wondering how bad the virus is where you live.

I am in the PR7 preston area and I know of 13 deaths in the hospital near me.

I don’t think so it was getting high early on to be fair as I was monitoring it daily most days

Sefton also quite high as are surrounding Lancashire areas so think we just have a lot

Although it’s not rife as such

I’ve heard of a couple who’ve died and a couple who have it but only I infected that I know personally

[middleager]

Is there any local 'evidence' about the impact of the Liverpool/Milan match Sunshine?

Or those who were quarantined at the Wirral?

[middleager]

Sunshine Liverpool is one of the areas with rising case loads. ' The North West in general is seeing a rising number of cases which is impacting overall risk levels.'

I’m actually liverpool and we've got 1200 confirmed cases in a 500,000 population

[Sunshine1239]

Lancashire and my local small hospital has had 72,deaths

I believe the northwest is 3rd after London and midlands

Why not miss?
My inlaws live close to Heartlands.

[missnevermind]

I'm in Birmingham 5 mins from Heartlands Hospital. Me and the children Havnt left the house for 5 weeks.

@Grandmi and all the other health care workers.

My borough has 1,016 confirmed cases in a population of 325,917.

I know many many families where at least one member has had it without being hospitalised, so they won’t be in the stats, two people at work (11 people) have had relatives die.

I live in Kent. I know three people who have been diagnosed with a swab and all recovering well . A friend works on local ITU and there is thirty ventilator beds and the general average is 15 patients...so just be positive people 💕Main problem is PPE for the nurses.!

[middleager]

Brent has the highest number of cases per 100,000 at a whopping 357.3 according to this which looks at each region:

news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-uk-tracker-how-many-cases-are-in-your-area-updated-daily-11956258

Croydon - 303.6
Kent - 147.1

[middleager]

I think the Kent data must be from here: coronavirus.data.gov.uk/region

It does indeed place Kent highest in terms of number of cases, with Birmingham a close second.

However, it does not rank per 100,000 or include death rates.

[gogglegoggle]

Work in a major Kent hospital which is very very quiet with a barely more ITU patients than normal and the wider hospital only 1/3 full... surprised to hear we are the worst affected!

[hopefulhalf]

Kent is 140 cases per 100,000 Croyden is 260 how is Kent the worst ?

[Fearofawelshplanet]

We have had health workers die here, I have heard of people I know contracting it but without the early testing god only knows...

[middleager]

The Midlands had more deaths than any other part of England in latest figures released by NHS England today.

[Fearofawelshplanet]

Thanks for the info WTF, Feel For Kent and Birmingham..
80s mum, hope your friends in hospital recover

[hopefulhalf]

In terms of what ? Case per 100,000 ? Deaths ?

[middleager]

Yeh, Kent and Birmingham seem neck a neck hopeful scary stuff.

[hopefulhalf]

Kent worst affected county ?

[HoldMyLobster]

My US state has a population of 1.3 million, and we’ve had 32 deaths.

Less than 1000 cases but like the UK testing had been limited so those figures can’t be treated as accurate.

Hospitalization rate is now falling - we were predicted to peak around April 16th and the data does seem to be bearing that out.

Very thankful to be here.

[WTFdidwedo]

I'm Gwent as well and only know one case personally, who recovered with no issues. My husband knows one who's died, one who recovered after being on a ventilator and one who's in ICU at the moment. The three he knows have been between 60 and 85 though with poor healthy. Unfortunately health in the Welsh valleys is notoriously poor, and poverty levels are high. Aneurin Bevan did more testing early on than other health boards though so it's difficult to tell whether there are actually more cases/deaths.

[Fearofawelshplanet]

41 today, thats high for the weekend and worrying...

[Fearofawelshplanet]

Wow Em and B1, that doesnt sound good at all ....28 today...

[B1rdbra1n]

I have no idea but there are rumours about elderly people abandoned and undiscovered in elder care facilities
