That's a massive jump Billy, I was preying with fingers crossed for the figure to be around 500, hopefully less, but to see just under 700 is awful, just dont see any light at the end of the tunnel

Thanks for posting this analysis every day, you and Bear66 are doing a sterling job on this thread, much appreciated. Is the 7 day average a steady 5% in that it is a higher decreasing rate than the previous 7 or 14 days?

I think the 7 day averages are more reassuring E74.

They certainly are Holgate, I do appreciate it, as do others a lot work going in to each day's results, but readings don't get any easier when the figures aren't dropping

I know that’s why I keep asking Billy Horner and Bear 66 for further information or opinions when there are spikes. I’m clinging to the hope that the long term trend is downwards albeit a slow downwards.

Me too, TBH, I've given up reading the Internet for news as its so different & it does get to me really bad so I rely on Billy & bears updates but I do find it hard to understand all the format but then see the figures & it's staggerinly worrying

Thanks both. I'd probably be doing my own analysis anyway, as I'm a bit of a nerd, but it's nice to know that others find it useful too.

On the 7-day average, this time last week saw a 4.9% decrease and the week before a 2.1% increase. Therefore, I think things are moving in the right direction, but probably more slowly than we would all like. It appears to be the shape of the curve in most countries, a relatively steep incline followed by a much more gradual decline (spanishman likens it to the shape of an elephant).

Obviously, today's number is, in part, a correction for the weekend effect that we've seen for the past two days. If the past few weeks have been anything to go by, tomorrow's numbers might be relatively high too. The good news is that, whilst today's figure was 693, the equivalent figures for the previous 4 weeks were 909, 1172, 1044 and 1038.
 
Yes I also rely on bear and Billy's analysis of the stats. Sometimes I may sound confrontational which I dont mean to be just like the figures explained in layman's terms. 👀
Especially useful after reading ***** on twitter lol
 
It's the lowest Tuesday figure since before the peak, so things are going in the right direction. Hospital deaths are much lower, but care homes are still high.
I don't know how they are going to fix the care home situation, I fear once a case had been diagnosed in a home they will let it run its course.

There's a class action of people trying to get their relatives out of care homes. You can't blame them under the current circumstances. The situation on Skye, where there have been very few cases, is very sad; most of the residents and half the care home staff are positive. This seems to be an ideal situation to find how it got in from a relatively healthy native population.
