The 9am figures not disclosed yet?

It looks like there is new advice for those in a few council areas, Bolton, Blackburn, North Tyneside, Hounslow etc. Basically an advised local lockdown rather than enforced.

As of 9am on 25 May, 4,467,310 people have tested positive for COVID-19 in the UK.

Positive cases were 2,493 (2,412 on corresponding day last week).

15 deaths were reported today (7 on corresponding day last week).

152,068 deaths with Covid-19 on the death certificate (up to 14 May)

38,192,417 have had a first dose vaccination. 122,379 first dose vaccinations yesterday. 23.228,511 have had a second dose. 332,955 second dose vaccinations today.
 
That deaths figure is a little disconcerting :(
The ONS death registrations are about 10 days behind, but they seem to show that there are up to double the deaths reported daily for the 28 days since a positive test figure. The ONS daily average for registrations was 23 per day up to 14 May; the dashboard daily average was 10 a day up to the same date. Are doctors diagnosing covid without a test or are they beyond the 28 day cut off?

At least the daily figures are a measure of the direction of travel, which is generally down.
 
Today's headline analysis:

• 2,493 new cases reported in 24-hour period, slightly up from yesterday's 2,439
• 7-day average for new cases increases by 0.4% to 2,609 per day, following 2.6% increase yesterday (and 7th consecutive daily increase)
• 7-day average for new cases is 18.0% higher than one week ago (from 17.0% higher yesterday) and 14.9% higher than two weeks ago (from 18.3% higher yesterday and 9.3% higher 7 days ago)
• 15 new deaths within 28 days of a positive test reported in 24-hour period, up from 3 yesterday
• 7-day average for new deaths within 28 days of a positive test increases by 20.0% to 7 per day, following 4.8% decrease yesterday
• 7-day average for new deaths within 28 days of a positive test is 22.6% lower than one week ago (from 46.7% lower yesterday) and 44.2% lower than two weeks ago (from 42.9% lower yesterday and 32.6% lower 7 days ago)

A test isn’t required to diagnose Covid (due to capacity issues in the first wave), but the diagnosis is based on test results and clinical diagnosis.
ONS is more accurate than PHE numbers.
 
As of 9am on 26 May, 4,470,297 people have tested positive for COVID-19 in the UK.

Positive cases were 3,180 (2,696 on corresponding day last week).

9 deaths were reported today (3 on corresponding day last week).

152,068 deaths with Covid-19 on the death certificate (up to 14 May)

38,378,564 have had a first dose vaccination. 186,147 first dose vaccinations yesterday. 23,616,498 have had a second dose. 387,987 second dose vaccinations today.
 
Have to say I'm starting to get a little concerned lately. Cases, hospitalisations, folk on ventilators and deaths all seem to have either plateaued or are on a slight increase.

Hospital admissions up 10.8% today on the last 7 days - that's what will drive restrictions being lifted or not.

• 7-day average for new cases increases by 2.7% to 2,678 per day, following 0.4% increase yesterday (and 8th consecutive daily increase)
• 7-day average for new cases is 18.0% higher than one week ago (same as yesterday) and 16.9% higher than two weeks ago (from 14.9% higher yesterday and 12.4% higher 7 days ago)
• 9 new deaths within 28 days of a positive test reported in 24-hour period, down from 15 yesterday
• 7-day average for new deaths within 28 days of a positive test increases by 12.5% to 8 per day, following 20% increase yesterday
• 7-day average for new deaths within 28 days of a positive test is unchanged from one week ago (from 22.6% lower yesterday) and 22.9% lower than two weeks ago (from 44.2% lower yesterday and 40.0% lower 7 days ago)
 
Starting to get worried about the rising figures now. Especially as the huge surge in cases in SE Asia is Indian variant related.

I thought we were on the way out. Not now...
 
As of 9am on 27 May, 4,473,677 people have tested positive for COVID-19 in the UK.

Positive cases were 3,542 (2,874 on corresponding day last week).

10 deaths were reported today (7 on corresponding day last week).

152,068 deaths with Covid-19 on the death certificate (up to 14 May)

38,614,683 have had a first dose vaccination. 236,119 first dose vaccinations yesterday. 24,043,956 have had a second dose. 427,458 second dose vaccinations today.
 
Cases on the increase, but that was to be expected. The government have said there is nothing in the data to suggest June 21st won't go ahead as planned. Deaths and hospitalisations are extremely low, and thankfully it does seem that the vaccines have crossed the line first before the Indian variant. It wouldn't surprise me to see local lockdowns come June 14th if those figures at the Indian variant hotspots don't come down. To have 10 deaths in the middle of the week when there are no weekend delays/lags, signifies this could be as good as it gets in terms of deaths. I can't see any reason to put back June 21st now that by the time it comes around, all the over 40s will have received both jabs, and those in their 30s/late 20s one jab.

The 7-day average for hospital admissions, number of Covid patients in hospital and number of Covid patients on a ventilator are all higher than they were one week ago. The last time we experienced that was mid-January (admittedly with much higher numbers at that time).

Doesn't look good for the roadmap. The big question is will it lead to another lockdown?
