We seem to fit the rules for deescalation

4 to 3​

  • Are there estimated to be less than 10,000 new infections per day?
  • Is the UK weekly case rate less than 25 per 100,000 population?
  • Has the national estimate of R been consistently <1 for at least 4 weeks?
  • Have the observed number of new daily COVID-19 confirmed infections, hospital admissions, ICU admissions and deaths been on a downward trend for the last 4 weeks?

It looks as if case numbers per day need to halve again to go to alert level 2.

Well you've done it now. On the plus side I can see you and Billy doing stats for all eternity. Billy probably has a spreadsheet for everyday of the rest of his life including a nicely arranged funeral, socially distanced of course!

Let's hope that come the summer we will look back at the last 18 months as an anomoly. not the norm.

Probably the same tomorrow as last Tuesday followed a bank holiday, but hopefully Wednesday and Thursday sees the general downward trend continuing.

The 7 day average for numbers of deaths is 10 per day, which isn't much higher than the lowest figure of 8 deaths per day last August.
