How many cases per 100,000 in your area?

[Florabella]

I have become slightly obsessed about checking the figures in my area each day. We have 7 per 100,000 which I think is pretty low. What are the numbers where you live?

93 NE

78, we are in an area with extra restrictions

89 😒

22

6 Babergh DC

6.8 Suffolk

Per 100,000

I take it back, we’re now the worst in the country at 279 per 100k.

70! Up 61 in a week 😬 that’ll be all the students coming down then

Bbc website has a look up tool

This is the breakdown for Wales today & most areas in South Wales are in local lockdown

262 today in Liverpool and doubling every 6 days apparently. BIL and partner are nurses and say that ITU are seeing a gradual increase in serious cases.

Someone upthread said people seem relaxed. I wouldn't used that word. I think they're more resigned to it being out of control here now. I work in a secondary school and I think it'll be pretty much unavoidable if you haven't had it already in Feb/March (we think quite a few did).

Can't understand why they're still allowing tourists here. The city tour bus was full on the top deck yesterday. I know they were in the open air and also wearing masks, but I'm assuming nearly all of them don't actually live in Liverpool and they're risking catching it here and taking it with them back to a lower area.

Where are you, @GetAMoveOnTroodon?

Also, in Liverpool, we have 3 universities. STudents have only just come back, so I suspect cases will rise even more quickly now, after rising once schools went back.

We have no hope of a vaccine yet and it does seem like it's getting worse here so other than multiple lockdowns till a vaccine is found I don't know what else can be done. People are just resigned to getting it, as I said.

Interestingly, some of the areas with the largest increase in cases are not student areas but more the tight knitted communities:

8 per 100,000. North Hampshire.

Gone up 6 in a week.

We're on 15 per 100k in the south of England.

Although people are definitely behaving generally well here as far as I've seen. Everyone still moves aside to let others pass by (I go out walking or running every day and literally everyone I come into contact with does this!). I don't go to the shops much but when I do the majority of people are wearing masks. None of my neighbours or friends have had large gatherings or parties.

I work at a secondary school and am a governor at an infant school and we haven't had any bubble closures in either of the schools yet

Yes, despite our 262 per 100,000 at my secondary school we have only had one class had to isolate due to a positive case. The other case there was appparently no contact at school within 48 hours prior to symptoms as it was the weekend so we got away with that one.

We've been very lucky so far. Not sure our measures are any better than other schools, probably just pure luck.

I've heard of a couple of hairdressers getting positives too. One wasn't wearing a mask apparently and wasn't insisting their customers did. REsult was all their customers had to isolate for 2 weeks.

Some people are just not being careful enough.

91 in Durham

12 per 100,000 in the south. We’ve only had 500 cases during the whole pandemic. I didn’t realise it was so low here tbh.

72 for where I work and 45 for where I live

256 per 100,000. The second worst in the country. I'm scared for my formerly shielding family who have been forced back into work with no further protections.

I'm very glad I'm not working at the moment and I've continued to shield myself as I don't feel safe at all leaving the house.

262 per 100,000 my anxiety is through the roof. 7 cases so far in DS's school. How long is it realistic to keep schools open with cases at this level? At the very least, we need either a circuit break or to go to a blended learning system here urgently.
