This was from one week ago.
Today's is only 32,548 - the first hint that possibly the exponential rise might be slightly slowing, maybe?
Deaths spent some time bouncing round at low levels, the random daily noise obscuring the signal. But deaths are now heading up the exponential fairly reliably.

Seems like the doubling time has lengthened from 9 days (my previous projection) to about 16 days for some reason.lpm wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 5:20 pmsTeamTraen wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 2:24 pmI'm going to guess 25,000 for today, which will take the UK's 14-day rate per 100,000 people to 300.

Italy went back over 1000 cases per day today, so it's starting to trend back up, but Italy's death rate is now lower than the UK's.

I don't have access to my scripts just now so can't post graphs, but it looks like cases are increasing at a slower rate just now. That might, of course, be a temporary blip. I should be able to stick some plots up tomorrow.

One of the SAGE models predicted 1000 deaths per day by August. I dont think it will reach that milestone that quickly. September maybe.

Looks like a below average week following on from an above average week - nothing much to see, but any cherry picker can shout about a massive decline.

I recommend you work out how many weeks Italy is behind the UK, then devise a policy to avoid our fate get the result wrong and f.ck everything up.

Re: COVID-19
It's tricky because your case rate never even went this low but we've got much lower vaccination coverage. So things could go all to f.ck incredibly quickly here.

What I wish people understood about the #DeltaVariant is that it's not the same old COVID.
Even if you've had COVID before, data suggests that this variant's figured out how to evade your immune response.
We should probably stop calling it COVID-19 & update to COVID-21.

Everyone should be in the case of misinformation that can harm the public health.
In fact, I think big tech should be legally obliged to censor harmful content. Freedom of speech does not extend to the right to should "Fire!" in a crowded theatre. that's an old principle and one which should always be remembered.

Re: COVID-19
Talking about censorship in relation to naming conventions for virus variants - with a virus for which the naming conventions have been changing over the past 18 months - is a bit extreme. New influenza strain names incorporate the year they were first isolated. It's hardly unprecendent.tom p wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 7:50 amEveryone should be in the case of misinformation that can harm the public health.

Not saying the naming suggestion is a good idea!!! Or that it's not a bad idea. But there's a big gap between good ideas and ideas that organisations should be legally obliged to censor.
Also - in case anyone wasn't aware - the "fire in a crowded theatre" analogy comes from a case that was overturned nearly 50 years ago...
