Covid figures skewed by including positive cases from university students in other areas !

Students can only register with one Dr/Surgery. They would normally be expected to register with a surgery where they are studying.
Many have not, especially this year due to the long period studying at home. Here in North Yorkshire/Richmondshire students who test positive
are being included in the county's statistics and not actually where they are studying due to their home/GP's address still being registered.

The pattern is likely to be replicated across the country, however it may. be more marked in North Yorkshire given the high number of students who travel out of
the county to study. The County's Director of Public Health says it does make a difference especially in some of our smaller districts.
This also means outbreaks in university towns and cities could be seriously underestimated if positive cases are being registered elsewhere.

This is why every University should have had a requirement before they opened up to set up and have ready to go. An internal contact tracing process and have to provide a daily dash board of case. Along with internal testing process or a plan how to get them. Which reports directly to the local head of public health together with the university health teams. The big issues is the T&T is not joined up and still has delays feeding into system one. So many Gp's or other primary care services are often in dark. The system won't even flag up if a person is waiting on a test result. It's right head ace all round Mrs 73 is having no end of issues find out information around testing.

Found in the Yorkshire hills ...
Now confirmed we are off to level 3 from Saturday. See you in level 4 folks.

SWMBO knew this was coming yesterday morning - she's based on a Covid rehab ward and has seen a steady increase in patients for recovery. West Yorkshire's probably following next week.

I'd have thought the government would've shut more down for the half-term period, but who am I to know.

So did I we've had no ICU beds for days why all this messing about I don't know and to what till Saturday is madness.
West Yorkshire can't be all that behind i'd suspect. Sadly admissions and deaths form cases now are baked in come what.
Too much time has been wasted yet again :sad:

If only that were true of them all though.
Some smaller, non-essential, shops shut at the same time. Some of those never reopened, jobs lost, business's ruined. Empty shop premises now on the "high street".

Locally, work on converting two former shops into licensed premises continued throughout the lockdown. Two more, to join the ever increasing number of such places within the town centre. Non seem to have remained closed, shut up for good. Unlike the small shops, usually family owned and run.
