I wondered if that was the reason we're we've been seeing such low numbers for Teesside compared with the UK average. Also, the Leicester infections publicised since the start of the epidemic are less than the apparent increase of 800 infections in the last two weeks. No wonder local authorities are so exasperated (by Dido sitting on the numbers for data protection reasons).This thread on how data is being used national/local and NHS/outsourced provider is concerning; the country still doesn't have a grasp of what is happening with the virus in order to effectively reduces its spread:
Shouldn't we only ultimately be bothered about the hospital figures anyway?
What I mean is because the NHS has been "protected" there is now no excuse for anyone who develops illness severely enough that require hospital treatment to be admitted to hospital, i.e those who live in care homes.Not anymore. Hospitalisations are almost double hospital positive tests.
That may be the source of admissions.What I mean is because the NHS has been "protected" there is now no excuse for anyone who develops illness severely enough that require hospital treatment to be admitted to hospital, i.e those who live in care homes.
Is this what the narrative is been changed to now then regarding pillars?2137 positive tests in Teesside and 339 in North Yorkshire in South Tees hospital district.
No increase in Teesside and one new case in North Yorkshire positive tests today. These are only Pillar 1 results.
Pillar 1 are still the most likely to be indicative of hospital admission. There was a link yesterday suggesting hospital admissions are higher than Pillar 1 positive tests; when I looked through the data, that doesn't appear to be the case as the total of hospital admissions stopped being reported a few weeks back.Is this what the narrative is been changed to now then regarding pillars?
I.e the numbers are meaningless without pillar 2 3 and 4?
Uplift?3187 positive tests in Teesside and 626 in North Yorkshire in South Tees hospital district.
Figures now seen to include Pillar 2 and duplicate tests removed. R&C and Hambleton appear to have the biggest uplift with this change.
R&C and Hambleton are approaching double previous Pillar 1 figures, whilst Boro, Stockton and Hartlepool are 50% higher.Uplift?
