Middlesbrough is where you're most risk of dying from Covid-19
- Thread starter kuepper
- Start date
Well it seems unlikely, there's only 451 recorded cases in Middlesbrough. There are over 1000 cases in Sunderland and even more than that in County Durham.
But we'll never know for sure, because the rather nice Public Health England dashboard, where you could download detailed spreadsheets of cases and deaths, has been replaced with a load of old crap. So there's no way of knowing how many people have died in Middlesbrough (or none I could find with a quick Google search). It's almost like they don't want you to know.

It’s unfortunate that Covid19 has been another excuse by some journalists to run stories about how down and out we are as an area.
Andy Preston has fuelled this by his comments on closing the parks although in his defence I do think he is genuinely doing what he thinks will safeguard people and has no other agenda.

"Many of Middlesbrough's 140,000 residents still live in back-to-back terrace housing"
[strawman] Back-to-backs share party walls on three of their four sides, with only the front wall having a door and windows.
I don't know of any housing like this in Middlesbrough, let alone sufficient numbers for "many" of our residents to live in them. Therefore the article is rubbish.[/strawman]
Obviously there are some structural reasons for why people in Middlesbrough may be more at risk than the average person, but having a small population of 140k & a comparatively massive regional hospital with over 1000 beds that will be taking in the most serious cases from the area has to be a contributing factor to an above average rate.

The first time I saw housing like this was in Leeds this summer when my daughter moved into it I was shocked. I'm middlesbrough born and bred we don't have housing like that

Never seen housing like that in Middlesbrough and Ive lived here over 60 yrs.
I do remember an article in one newspaper that described the New Riverside stadium as being surrounded by identical red brick houses :D
