"The Delta variant now comprises 91% of new cases in the UK," Hancock.

This is an interesting thread on modelling.
It attempts to explain why some models have been more "moderate" than others.

From the latest detailed vaccine take up file published by the NHS this afternoon

For the Under 30s

First dose take up rate in Bolton 38.6%, 6th highest for any Council in England.

Blackburn 32.7% 19th highest in England.

This suggests two things 1) 20 somethings have been socialising more in the last couple of weeks. 2) Schools are a key driver of cases among children and when they shut for half term we can see the impact

Or testing isn't uniform across populations.

I mean, obviously based on my anecdata, I think it is definitely number 2. All quiet on the Western Front over half term. A few days back at my place and bang... upwards of 30 cases.

Schools are certainly one of the contributing factors but it looks like that transmission in schools is dwarfed by transmission in the 20-29 age group in other settings.

We can already see the trend in boys3 tables and the latest Covid/flu surveillance report (referenced by MRex) but the view from Zoe is more striking. The orange line shoots up nearly vertically.

But the school age line looks like it is only a week or so behind.

The blue line is nowhere as steep. It is rising but it is a much slower growth.

The 0-19 group is also quite broad. It will include 18-19 year olds whose behavioural patterns are likely to be closer to the 20-25 age group (rather than schoolchildren).

NHS told to identify patients actually sick from Covid-19 separately to those testing positive

Very interesting, yes. The data published by NHS England every day does already split out those admitted with covid vs those inpatients diagnosed with it, so we have an idea of the split (I think it's about 50:50 at the moment) but this isn't reported on the dashboard, and it's slightly different to this request I think. Will be interesting to see how quickly this happens.

It looks to me to be a similar gradient to the orange one a week prior

I agree I'm not sure that having 0-19 in one group gives enough information. There's a huge difference in behaviour between a 0-2yo and a 6-7yo, a 12-13yo and a 18-19yo.

If I think of my dc: At 0-2yo they went nowhere without me. They did a couple of toddler groups over the week, and spent a lot of time outside playing.
6-7yo they went to school, and 5-6 clubs out of school, mixing with lots of different children. They'd also play with friends at each others' houses.
12-13yo they went to school, did 1-2 clubs out of school, where they tended to stick with the same small group, and met up with friends at the park.
18-19yo (when at home) doing several volunteer groups with different groups, and an evening job at a shop. Socialising at each others' houses or the pub.

I think identifying people in hospital because of Covid is a bit different from separating admissions and people already in hospital when diagnosed. It's possible to be diagnosed on admission because all new admissions are tested, but be being admitted for something else. Conversely some of the people who catch Covid while in hospital will remain there for longer because they become very sick from it.

At risk of stating the patently obvious the number of MSOAs with a suppressed value has dropped appreciably.

By week ending

01 May. 5199; 76.6%

08 May. 5335; 78.6%

15 May. 5363; 79.0%

22 May. 5357; 78.9%

29 May. 4700; 69.2%

05 June. 3693; 54.4%

Latter figure roughly equivalent to position w/e 03 April; 3978; 58.6%.

Really interesting update yesterday from the Zoe study app YouTube, Prof Spector saying that, according to the app change of taste and smell isn't even in the top ten of symptoms anymore. Very interesting. He said most symptoms are very cold-like.

@boys3, do you have a link to where we can see the uptake data split by age, please? Struggling to find it. Many thanks :)

A further, and again perhaps obvious sense of spread is that in England only 5 council areas show zero cases for June 8th. Compared with 54 for 29th May, and a high of 81 on 1st May. Admittedly both Saturdays on a bank hol weekend, nevertheless weekdays until the last week or so have regularly at worst had high 20s with zero cases. Need to go back to 25th March to find a lower daily number.

@SquawkSquawk I worked out the figure from the excel tabs in the NHS download file.

But if you go to the dashboard

Select vaccinations

Then select local authorities for area type and your council of choice from area name

Scroll to bottom and there is a heat map (data up to yesterday as well). If you hover over the map you can see rates for a particular age band, plus you can toggle between first and second dose.

I used the nhs file simply as it provides a neat list of every council and therefore makes sorting a lot easier with all 315, or whatever the exact number is, in one place.

Struggle with adding links on the phone. Probably an age thing

@SquawkSquawk a proper link to the dashboard

I’m not sure how I feel about that

I feel a bit more vulnerable I think.

No need to worry though, the NHS general coronavirus advice will still say that a change to taste or smell is one of only 3 symptoms that require testing, for at least another month (and that’s being optimistic).

The vax data for England is here -

Prof Spector saying that, according to the app change of taste and smell isn't even in the top ten of symptoms anymore. Very interesting. He said most symptoms are very cold-like

There are potential confounding things with this - people are significantly more open with what they do, and this time we're still in a time where "colds" are more common (the summer weather only just started ending the humid cold loving ones) So it's possible that more of the symptoms are coincidental infections with covid, and it's actually more asymptotic infection being caught - particularly if people are vaccinated and therefore getting less symptoms.

It's always been the complaint by "PCR is not a diagnostic tool" folk, and it could be a genuine feature.
