What is your rate per 100,000? New variant era

[Crunchymum]

We and one of these threads a while ago.

Interested to see where you are and what your rate is

I use:
www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-51768274

I live in an area that was in the bottom 20% in England 6 weeks ago and now is in the top 10%. It seems incredibly unlikely that everyone in my area was massively compliant until very recently and now is very uncompliant. So there has to be other factors at play. Plus I also live in an area that has recently encouraged secondary school families to test. We know of quite a number of asymptomatic cases that have been picked up this way, which will make numbers look proportionally higher than in areas where no such testing has been carried out.

I'd no checked things for a while (112/100,000). The think that really pisses me off is that one of the websites I was looking at also counts the number of lateral flow tests/day (the quick ones the Unis were supposed to have).

There are/were 25,000 students in my city, yet fewer than 5,000 tests have been undertaken to date (and I thought they were supposed to take 2 tests). No wonder cases shot up in the middle of December if that was the sort of uptake they had elsewhere in the country!

As someone outside the UK, some of these figures being quoted are truly horrific. It's not just about death rates - which are undoubtedly going to keep on rising - but also all those people with long covid and permanent damage. I saw an interview with a woman (under 60) who had lost both hands and feet. Your government's handling of this has been spectacularly bad, but a large chunk of blame has to go to those people ignoring the rules and downplaying the consequences.

My country (Germany) is currently on a 187 average and my city is down to 154 ( we were over 200 a week ago). The highest rates (5 districts over 500) are one corner of the country with a notoriously high number of conspiracy theorists.
So the lockdown is starting to bite, but I imagine the rates will be shooting up again soon as a consequence of Christmas. And it's pure luck that the new variant doesn't appear to be widespread here yet - it can all change so quickly, as some of you have noticed.

If you look at a population density map of UK in relation to case rates and also compare it to Germany's population density you might get a better idea of where the problem lies, rather than blaming it on people who have barely lived for the last 9 months.

I say this as someone living in one of the lowest case rates areas and lowest population density areas in Wales. It's so much easier to distance from people when i only have 5 neighbouring houses within a mile of my own!!

We've just gone above 200 (Tier 4) but have much higher figures nearby.

I would really like to know what proportion of this increase is in under-16s. That information must be very easy to get but it is not being reported - just a vague mention that the new variant may transmit among children more easily. I would have thought there is data to back that up (or not) by now.

159, just gone into tier three. Numbers have been fairly low throughout but have not steadily increasing. The case numbers are higher in neighbouring boroughs.

82 now in Cornwall. Just over 2 weeks ago we were 18...

Tier 4 as of boxing day

114/100000

In tier 4 along with rest of mainland Scotland

@Chevron123 this isn't quite what you are after, but it does include a heatmap of cases by age group (towards the top you can set it for regions or local authority), but it is just up to 21 December:

coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/cases?areaType=region&areaName=South%20West

In my area the high rates seem to be in young adults ( large number of whom are probably furloughed) and the really old (who might well have caught Covid when admitted to hospital after a fall/heart attack etc.). It doesn't seem to have spread through many of the schools....yet!

312 tier 4 Sussex

600-odd. London, Tier 4.

@mrshoho thankyou for the +VE rate per test. It just leads me to more questions and as I will spiral into getting obsessed again, will stop.

Just seen this map coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/interactive-map which breaks down the data into electoral wards, so much smaller geographic areas. The rate in my area is 1819.6 per 100,000!

Mine is 72 per 100,000. Tier 3

146 on that Tier 4

202 Tier 3 where we have been since August time (well think it was August but its been that long I can't remember).
Was 800ish+ before November lockdown.

309 now. It is escalating alarmingly. Tier 3 BTW.

Tier 3 is working here but we apparently don't have much of the new variant yet.

We had a sort of tier 3.5 in September which brought our cases down sharply. But a lot was students.

373 tier 4, south east

and nearby is 681, which went into tier 4 before christmas

Don't be fooled into thinking that we are suffering with such high cases in part because of the general public's lack of compliance

Absolutely agree with this, and really the number per area is dependent on so many different factors rather than people not being compliant in some areas and more so in others.

the gov interactive map is out of date by 6 days due to christmas.

I think most of the trackers run with a lag? The BBC site only shows the rate per 100,000 up to 20th December. Hopefully newer updates will show there has been a drop after the start of the school holidays and introduction of tier 4 restrictions.

There's been extra delays over Christmas (just as there often are after a Sunday or any bank holiday)

The official daily summary gives the dates of information for each of the 4 sets of figures/graphs.

coronavirus.data.gov.uk

and only number of positives and number of deaths are in date as of 28/12
