There is nothing to say sorry for.
Chuffing supermarkets. Once a week is enough for me.
Outside is not something people really agree on. Some see it as a broadly similar risk to inside (I do not). Others don't.
The peak could be very, very flat. That doesn't disagree with the lower bound of what I said and it being very flat. Sadly I don't think 20,000 cases is that unrealistic at all. I don't think we'll ever get on top of it until a few vaccines come along and even then it'll take 6 months to a year to dampen it a lot and even after vaccines there will probably be outbreaks.
The level of restrictions in other European countries is interesting as as reported on paper some seem less restrictive than here.

I guess both the level of compliance and the level of restrictions is important. Plus how effective test, track and trace is, of course.
Without the latter you really are stuffed we look to be still working that one out at a national level at least.

Yes, TTT seems to be key. We're doing T in an odd-looking way but the TT seems to have been contracted out with no effective control.

Yep, true, but wondering what Boris will do next. Something national not local. Just thinking.
Two week half term coupled with two weeks of essential house leaving only.......Work, food, pharmacy otherwise stay at home for two week circuit breaker. And blaming it on us.
Which ever stat you look at things are still going the wrong way. Our local hospital now has covid cases again
Interesting that more women are testing positive than men. Are they more likely to go for a test or more likely to be at risk due to traditional gender roles ? Anyone seen any papers on it ?

There was a paper on auto-antibodies https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/09/23/science.abd4585 Bastard et al. Sep 2020
not read it.
A take from elsewhere
"The auto-antibody finding is especially exciting, said the consortium member and infectious diseases physician Vanessa Sancho-Shimizu of Imperial College London, because 95% of severe patients who carry the auto-antibodies are male and over 50. “It explains the age and gender bias that we’re seeing in the severe patient population,” she says."
On the takeup of tests, nope not seen anything. There's a lot buried in the more detailed ONS/PHE figures sometimes though.

Where I live we've had restrictions since early August. Some of the areas nearby with similar restrictions have seen an increase in cases but nowhere near as much as elsewhere - those areas are now under restriction.
The university cities/towns are seeing cases increase from students congregating and mingling, but maybe those restrictions are having an effect?

The author's name isn't helping!
Will take a look
Your right about ONS/PHE stuff it can at times take some time to work though. Some of the graphs are not that reader friendly either.
