The 9am figures not disclosed yet?

That's some drop in cases but also low testing numbers as well.
Hope it's not a processing error and it just means less people are showing symptoms hence less people asking for tests.
 
Have to say i'm sceptical, that's some drop, I was optimistically hoping for around 17k, so 11k is huge. There is a reporting issue in NI, but that would only be 3-400 extra you'd think.

Number of people tested doesn't really bother me, you'd expect less people to be needing tests, it's just by how much the requirement has decreased as obviously there's a natural base in there that will be regularly tested regardless.

As of today
UK 5th in table of total deaths behind
USA Brazil India Mexico
All have much bigger populations

7th in total number of cases
USA India Brazil France Russia Spain

5th in deaths per million of population
Belgium Peru Spain Italy

Why did Trump never lead with this UK 821 USA 796 deaths per million of population

Not making excuses for the UK as we have done terrible, but USA, Brazil, India and Mexico all had much more notice than we did, so at least they all knew they had to do something and couldn't just pretend it wasn't going to come over there. USA and Brazil have tried hard to do a terrible job with loads of notice mind.

We had to weeks notice from Spain and Italy and were just slow to react, and that two weeks was extremely harmful, seeing as cases were doubling every 3 days back then, that two weeks probably cost us 20k deaths. We've been paying for that mistake ever since, we then did it again in late September.

Spain and Italy were the first hit in Europe, so it was harder for them (harder than the UK and a lot harder than the USA), but they got a grip on it quite quickly, could have been a lot worse. Belgium's government is messed up I think, so there's been no cohesion or responsibility which has caused big problems.

Peru is skint, has poor healthcare and is crowded in areas where they actually have people.

USA's figures are horrendous for the notice they had, for their wealth, and for how each state can almost manage itself, they're like the exact example of what not to do.
Thankfully a lot of the sates took no notice of Trump when they were getting into trouble, so it could have been even worse.
They're about to have a nightmare of monumental proportions though, Biden is going to be taking over in the middle of a mountain of cases and deaths. They're going to hit their peak and for a lot longer this time.

Trump leading with "UK 821 v USA 796 deaths per million of population" would have been the most Trump thing ever mind, comparing USA to a country that has done terrible, would be typical for him. What would be even more typical is because the one he's comparing to has had to fight it under much tougher circumstances. UK messed about for 2 weeks, the USA messed about for a month and then went at it half a$$ed. Had they got their act together they would half that death rate.
Maybe they should compare themselves to Canada, or maybe some countries that did well, with the same notice USA had?

As of 9am on 27 November, 1,590,584 people have tested positive for COVID-19 in the UK.

Positive cases were 16,022.

521 deaths were reported today

66,703 deaths with Covid-19 on the death certificate.
Progress being made. We should continue to see decline for the next two weeks at least which at 20-25% decline will hopefully See us at around 9-10k.

The question then becomes do the measures in place post 2nd Dec allow a) the number to be stabilised b) hopefully continue the decline and c) allow people like Randy in the hospitality industry the opportunity to safely work.
 
We can hope jostler, it didn't look like the tier system had that much of an effect nationally but that might be because the government were very selective about who they put in tier 2 and above.

We'll find out how retail affects new cases in Tier 3. I thought the incidence in supermarkets given last week served high; general retail will push things higher.

• 16,022 new cases reported in 24-hour period, down from yesterday's 17,555
• 7-day average for new cases decreases by 3.5% to 16,725 per day, following 4.2% decrease yesterday (and 11th consecutive daily decrease)
• 7-day average for new cases is 25.0% lower than one week ago (from 25.6% lower yesterday) and 31.5% lower than two weeks ago (from 27.4% lower yesterday and 0.5% lower 7 days ago)
• 521 new deaths within 28 days of a positive test reported in 24-hour period, up from 498 yesterday
• 7-day average for new deaths within 28 days of a positive test increases by 0.3% to 467 per day, following 0.1% decrease yesterday
• 7-day average for new deaths within 28 days of a positive test is 9.6% higher than one week ago (from 14.4% higher yesterday) and 15.5% higher than two weeks ago (from 16.0% higher yesterday and 32.8% higher 7 days ago)
 
Comparing Wave 2 with Wave 1:

Highest number of positive tests (7-day average) as a proportion of all tests processed (7-day average) since 12th May (6 days later than last week).
Highest 7-day average for hospital admissions since 23rd April (2 days later than last week).
Highest number of people in hospital since 22nd April (same date as last week).
Highest number of people on ventilation since 11th May (same date as last week).
Highest 7-day average for new deaths within 28 days of a positive test since 8th May (3 days earlier than last week).
First instance of four consecutive days with 490 or more new deaths announced since 2nd May (same date as last week's comparison with 500 or more deaths on four consecutive days).
 
As can be seen, the vast majority of the above indicators appear to be moving in the right direction. The exception is deaths within 28 days of a positive test (which is to be expected due to time lags) and, even with that, the growth appears to have slowed down significantly recently.
