'It was a wedding ring, destined to be found in a cheap hotel, lost in a kitchen sink, or thrown in a wishing well' - Marillion, Clutching at Straws, 1987
Quite ironic considering the Northampton area was recently named as a Covid hotspot on the national watchlist.
Today's vid from Dr JC reveals some interesting observations, even (dare I say it) hinting that our govt might in some ways be overlooking other (non-Covid) preventable causes of death that are actually more common and deadly than Covid itself, and also mentioned the 'died from' vs 'died with' Covid conundrum, even allowing for the recently introduced 28 day cut-off.
I see the NHS COVID app has been released. I downloaded it onto my phone but daughter was adamant I uninstall it due to its potential effect on my anxiety.

I think this app will be dynamite for people with anxiety disorders. I don't have a smartphone myself but my daughter isn't going to download the app onto her phone because it would just add to her terror and she is terrified enough.

Looking at the 7 day rolling average the curve is now sharpening to match the peak previously reported. If that holds we can see a pattern similar to earlier except it will obviously be much higher now due to testing.
Hospitalisations and deaths, whilst rising, show shallow curves. Only when these increase are we in trouble, not considering economic damage.

It's up down up down in the 5 regime I check under my post code. But SOT is going up the worst and has a high rate per 100k (currently 36). Cases overall aren't going up anywhere as fast as they were in the original lockdown where we saw 20-30+ new cases per day once it really hit. It's only doing that over a week now and with far more testing which suggests things are nowhere near as bad as they were earlier in the year.
As for other preventable deaths, something KK has questioned throughout this, I wonder if we will see a public inquest and compensation cases. Priority cancer patients have died so I can imagine the neglect of the elderly. We've now been contacted for my mum's first assessment with the relevant team and I was very surprised given the increases will be a new shield to services who want to keep backlogs down with some number messaging...or preventing you even getting counted.

Damn. I did wonder when the pop aisle also looked sparse. Dairy (and UHT), canned, etc were ok though. The mushy peas were short though which can correlate to big rolls sold
Crazy pics of the panic buyers just like before. It was no busier when I was shopping but I'll report back tomorrow when I go to some other shops. Bit worrying that the DM think one pack of family sized is panic buying though
