Anyway we can find out the age range of those who have passed? I'm curious.
 
The FT are normally quite professional about what they write and don't like making dramas. The FT says they think 41,000 people have died so far in the UK. I don't know if this includes indirect deaths (e.g. people do frightened or excluded from hospital treatment for non virus issues but dying from lack of treatment). It is a tragic time in our history.

Working with young people with disabilities and health problems , unfortunately meant I became accustomed to losing people before their time, saying deaths in their 20s and 30s. In some ways I had to emotionally screen myself or I would have become permanently depressed, as solders and nurses must have in WW1, when we had a 2% fatality rate against our total population (against a possible final figure of 0.1% for CV19 say 65,000 deaths).
 
Of the six deaths announced by South Tees NHS Trust, three occurred at the weekend. That's in addition to the 14 out of 17 which they've announced over the past two days. Definitely a significant weekend effect in the local reporting.

Incidentally, that consultant in James Cook has stated that the majority of the deaths announced recently have occurred on the ward rather than within the ICU. Apparently that's because they were either too elderly or had too significant underlying health problems to benefit from ventilation, so are cared for on the ward.

Putting aside whether he should be blogging about that sort of thing, it's made me wonder if that's one of the reasons we haven't breached ICU capacity so far in this country, despite the death toll being significantly high. It also makes me think that the relationship between ICU occupancy and new deaths might not be as strong as presumed.
 
No further deaths announced by South Tees NHS Trust, total remaining at 157.

Four further deaths announced by North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Trust, taking total to 61.

South Tees NHS Trust are 4th highest (same as yesterday) in terms of number of deaths in the North East & Yorkshire region (out of 25 NHS Trusts) and the 37th highest (from joint 35th yesterday) in the country (out of 164 NHS Trusts in England).

North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Trust are joint 18th (from outright 18th yesterday) in terms of number of deaths in the North East & Yorkshire region and the joint 107th (from joint 108th yesterday) in the country.
 
UK 287 deaths/million
"Teesside" 268 deaths/million

Positive tests UK 2173/million
Positive tests "Teesside" 1676/million

Testing is difficult to compare, particularly as testing pool has now increased.

Even across Teesside there are great disparities with Middlesbrough fairing the worst and Hartlepool / North (North) Yorkshire fairing better. (This is assuming deaths are related in some way to positive tests as there aren't death post code figures available.)

As well as incomes I expect age profile I would expect to have an influence too on death rates. A lot of deaths are in the over 50s and the older the more deaths. Ethnicity, general heath including obesity also seem to be factors that could be related to high death spots. Teesside figure look as predicted to me (taking account of lower incomes and urban nature), but it is a bit unbalanced, why should Middlesbrough have so many more deaths per capita then Hartlepool?

Having said all that rich people can suffer, look at Boris Johnson who is wealthy probably in the top 1%, lives in posh areas, he was really suffering, but you could say he did not die, but may have if he was poor.

Do you have a breakdown of the towns and villages served by the South Tees Trust in North Yorkshire?

It serves the boroughs of Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland, Hambleton and Richmonshire. So as well as Middlesbrough and Redcar, it serves Guisborough and the East Cleveland villages, plus settlements such as Stokesley, Northallerton, Thirsk, Richmond, Catterick and Leyburn.

Also worth bearing in mind that James Cook is one of the largest hospitals in the country (and in Europe). As such, a number of other hospitals (inc. North Tees) often transfer patients there.

Incidentally, this is the third week running that South Tees NHS Trust has reported zero deaths in its Monday publication. The previous weeks have then seen a spike in the following days.
