And with a polite plea to keep the focus on data and analysis if you please.

thanks all

That draft legislation is interested, @ceeveebee

There’s no mention of clinically extremely vulnerable...!?

Very exciting vaccine news if that happens. I wonder how long before they can get onto the next categories down.

MRex The care home regular swabbing was billed as starting 6th July, maybe didn't fully kick in until about a month later... Hmmm... Still too early for the uptick in cases we can see in your graphs Didn't start in the home I work in (well I do admin so working from home at the moment) until early October. I'm not sure why we were so late, home my aunt is in started in late July/early August I think. Maybe they just left the South West till last as our numbers were so low in July/August.

I'm getting "Something went wrong" and "Try again later."

I'm getting "invalid date"!

Great vaccine news

@RedToothBrush

Vaccine to start being rolled out in December all being well

First the cavets.

Its 50:50 whether it will indeed be ready.

Priority given to over 85s and front line workers first.

Exclusive: Covid vaccine DES set to be announced imminently for December start

Exclusive A new DES is set to be announced imminently for practices and PCNs to start administering a Covid vaccine from the beginning of December, Pulse understands.

Practices and PCNs will be asked to prepare to give the vaccine to over 85s and front line workers from the start of December, numerous sources have confirmed to Pulse.

There are currently two vaccines that are being prepared, with one requiring two shots and needing to be kept at minus 70 degrees.

Alongside GPs and PCNs, there will be teams delivering it to care homes, and at-scale delivery centres.

And

It remains unclear exactly which vaccines will be administered, but Pfizer’s vaccine in development has to be kept at minus 70 degrees, while the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine was shown to be more effective when administered in two doses.

I can't work out what DES stands for here - any help?

I'm just getting yesterday's data still.

DES - 'directed enhanced service'

I'm still just getting this message:

Owing to technical difficulties, we have not received cases data for England. We will update the service as soon as possible.

Just coming on here to check if they have released the data for today??

All my usual sources are drawing a blank but also not talking about or mentioning a delay....

Mine says this

It’s really late today. Wonder what is behind the hold up.

@ceeveebee thanks!!!

On our local news show they said the delay is because they are doing something to the website.

@exiledfromcornwall

On our local news show they said the delay is because they are doing something to the website.

They should: it's called update.

@CoffeeandCroissant - that's a great link, I love those heat maps! (If only they also had nation and region with drill-down...)
We need BigChocFrenzy back to add that and the poo dashboard to our links!

A Gp friend who also works higher up in nhs management has been telling us since early September that they were instructing practices to organise the logistics for vaccine roll out in November. Last week he said it was definitely a go in December. So it fits with that report.

Originally he was saying wider groups, eg over 50s and flu groups, not sure if that's changed to the really extremely vulnerable.

Obviously not a lot will change yet but it's hopeful news.

Still checking up on this thread - so thanks to all who make contributions

I hate it when the figures are late - gives me the willies

20018
397 deaths

High number of deaths, but figures look less alarming when you look at date of death.

Testing has not been as low as yesterday for weeks now.
Avg on Pillar2 is around 200k, yesterday: 120k..

I have a sinking feeling that our numbers are better because we chose to put our heads in the sand.

@cathyandclare

20018 397 deaths

But 70K fewer tests processed than yesterday. Only 207k is a VERY low number.
