@MargaretThursday the ONS publish figures for "non pandemic" excess death too, specifically to address your concerns, indeed that is the one they primarily show and focus on:

@sirfredfredgeorge Thanks. That makes far more sense that way!

Just re: today's figures, there is some seriously disingenuous reporting going on around this one.
Yesterday's dashboard carried the banner
27 June
Delayed reporting of cases data in England

Because of a technical issue, there was a delay to the processing of a subset of cases data in England yesterday. This means that the reported number of cases would be lower than expected. Outstanding cases will be reported in the next update. (ie today)

So that massive jump isn't actually a massive jump, it's a correction of data collection.

Ugh, I hate irresponsible journalism.

www.gov.uk/government/news/covid-19-vaccines-have-prevented-7-2-million-infections-and-27-000-deaths?fbclid=IwAR3yL7OIz2M8UBBLfs82rS_l45OwTIMvgurGU9Qvd2wywIlSQAwNig9FSA0

Shows the numbers we could have had (seems massive though!)

With all the school bubbles bursting due to positive in-school cases it does make one reflect upon how at the start of the year we were told that children weren’t vectors of transmission and there was an assumption that schools had some magic Covid repellent wall around them.

Shows the numbers we could have had (seems massive though!)

Seems dubious - suggesting R is around 1

Quite a bit off any other sources?

It's a jump if you look between the two, but if you average it out between the two days then you still get nearly 19k which is the highest daily number since 5th February ( I've just given myself a shock seeing that)

So, yes it isn't good reporting, but I don't think it's worse than a lot of the data we've seen reported on.

Its not the original variant.

It's not the Alpha variant that we know spread more in children than the original variant.

Its not the Delta variant and I don't think anyone could now argue it does not spread in schools.

But I don't really see the point of your comment. It spreads in schools, we know it spreads in schools. Scottish schools are now shut, England and Welsh schools will shut in the next few weeks and NI - well sorry I'm not sure. So schools are no longer the problem in Scotland for next 6 weeks and come in 3/4 weeks it will be the same elsewhere.

It is the Delta variant that should say

I don't think anyone could now argue it does not spread in schools.

There are some politically very well connected people still arguing this and saying that mitigation measures such as face coverings should not be allowed in schools.

Bit of a summary here on the situation for schools.

@MargaretThursday yes - but it's not a massive jump, it's within expected parameters.
Unlike between the 20th and the 21st, when you might reasonably expect all the data to have been collected, but when cases almost double literally overnight (from 9,870 to 15,948)
I'd be very interested to see what the back-story to that jump is.

Weekend, less tests done or processed or something.

Look back a week, same jump 13th into 14th. 6th into 7th.

Paltry 700k vaccinations over the weekend.

These large pop up centres are just photo opportunities.

But I don't really see the point of your comment. It spreads in schools, we know it spreads in schools.

If you are a member of school staff, you would know that we were told categorically and repeatedly on here that Covid did not spread in schools, that spread was due to adults wrongly coming into contact etc etc.

We were told this while the Government ran advertising campaigns saying 'schools were safe', showing misleading pictures and containing false assurances that they gave no money to implement.

We were told this at the same time as the Kent variant was wreaking havoc in our own workplaces at the end of the Autumn term, but were repeatedly told that it was untrue.

We were told that teachers could not be prioritised for the vaccine because Covid could not be spread in schools, and certainly, never from pupils to teachers.

Now, suddenly, everyone is saying that of course we have always known it spreads in schools.

Understandably, teachers are feeling somewhat gaslit.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Across mn we are starting to see cases of historical revisionism.

I am also wondering how anyone can say that mask-wearing causes medical problems, now that millions of people have been wearing masks all over the owrld for months, and no one has consequently died of lack of oxygen or whatever it was supposed to be.

@StaffRepFeistyClub

And you are very predictable!

Having a good old batch in your other thread?

Typing.....

But I don't really see the point of your comment. It spreads in schools, we know it spreads in schools.

The point is there is still nothing being done to prevent this. It is a major problem for schools; it is highly disruptive to children's education; and it is an enormous inconvenience to parents who have to have time off to look after isolating children. This should not be minimised.
Dashboard figures show a 70% weekly rise among children aged 5-9 testing positive and a 56% rise among children aged 10-14.
More than 16,100 pupils were absent from school with a suspected case of Covid in the third week of June, up from 10,600 seven days earlier.
About 214,000 pupils were self-isolating at home up from 71,900 the week before.

Don't let the inconvenient truth get in the way eh.

Teachers were dismissed as lazy, workshy etc for not wanting to put themselves at risk without vaccines. Were told "kids don't spread it" and that we aren't at risk

This is clearly utter bollocks. Always was.

Pretending otherwise is disingenuous at best.

The point is there is still nothing being done to prevent this. It is a major problem for schools; it is highly disruptive to children's education; and it is an enormous inconvenience to parents who have to have time off to look after isolating children. This should not be minimised.

Who is minimising it? I'm certainly not. But that was not the point of the person's post........

Who is minimising it?

The issue has been minimised by the majority of people on mn. It is constantly minimised in the press and mainstream media. This thread has tried on multiple occasions to shut down discussions around statistics in schools.

What is clear is that in order to make the figures for education better and/or to stop so much disruption ,t ye will stop SI contacts come September. This is fine except for:

LFTs are not great really as we all accept
Many parents are now refusing to test children/make them test
We won't know who is or isn't unless it has to be done on school site : which is disruptive
Primary children do not have testing in this way so what next for them?
CEV and vulnerable children really are being so discounted. Although their risk may still be relatively low there are high levels of anxiety surrounding this issue.

And quite a lot of other reasons.

Bloody hell, can there not be one thread that doesn't get de-railed by agendas?!

It's in the OP.
