Sorry if you've been asked this, but what number would you expect 60 positives might actually represent in the population?

City population is around 380,000 or so. So percentage wise very small but each one is a potential "walking carrier" who might come into contact with many others and thats where the problems start.

In other news in the County............. new hotspot.... Melton Mowbray.

Covid-19 testing site to be set up in Melton after spike in cases

A new Covid-19 testing site will be set up in Melton on Thursday in response to a recent spike in cases but MP Alicia Kearns has assured residents there is no immediate danger of a localised lockdown being imposed on the borough.

@Princess Pooper and anyone out that way....

PS: Melton looks "worse" due to a lower population but a relatively high level of increase...... in reality it could be a few folk who met in a pub....or a market!

The Agrarian · Aug 4, 2020

But in reality, there's more than your 60 new positives/day out there. Probably many multiples?

Indeed yes..... all those folk who are asymptomatic but wandering about spreading!

In other news (now public) the Melton peak/spike appears focused on the Samworths factory.

Director of Public Health suggested perhaps recent outbreak at Samworths and then spread to households...anecdotal (facebook group) reports of workers arriving in cars with 5 or 6 in which if not from same household will quickly spread it too.

Taking care! I avoid MM on market days and Prince Pooper was banned from watching the FA cup final in the pub (Arsenal fan!)

Question is , how many of the new cases are requiring treatment in ICU ?

Only positive test numbers being done & published these days.
Covid admissions (17 last week) and ICU numbers (7 positive at LRI) are not of interest at the moment it seems.
Probably will be come Nov/Dec.

Saw this and though of you @JCMaloney

sorry

JCMaloney · Aug 13, 2020

I`ve been a bit negligent on this thread... sorry folks!
There has been a big investigation and change in how Covid deaths are recorded so 5,000 folk didn`t die of it. We are now saying that if 28 days have passed since a positive test Covid doesn`t go on the DC. As such there was a data pause until Tuesday with new numbers released Wednesday.
8748 people in Leicestershire have been tested positive - up from 8631 (8631 figure is Sunday's due to no data produced yesterday). This gives an increase of 117 over two days, 66 Monday & 51 Tuesday.
5329 (increase of 99) are within the Leicester City Council area. 57 cases were reported for Monday and 42 Tuesday.
3419 (increase of 18) cases were reported in Leicestershire County. 9 case were reported for both days.
UHL reported 0 death's. The hospital total stands at 438.

Also done my second plasma donation yesterday, was all going well ......until the lady checking the machine bumped into the tube and the needle popped the vein, luckily it had just finished returning the blood & anti-coagulation soup!

You must feel like a pincushion!

Ouch!

Its fine, she bumped the tube that twisted the needle and some plasma free blood and anti-coag leaked through the hole it made. Ensuing panic as it started to "bump". Application of clamp on tube, needle out, ice pack on. Luckily it had almost put all the soup back in. Even had a call from NHS BT to book me in again for the 22nd!

JCMaloney · Aug 18, 2020

Few days off........ sorry! The whole data thing has got a bit flaky!
8956 people in Leicestershire have been tested positive - up from 8925.
5464 are within the Leicester City Council area.
3492 cases were reported in the County.

Seem to be missing some big chunks of Pillar 2 data..... still at 438 deaths.

And my arm looks far,far worse! lol

ffs , what did they use ? a lump hammer

primmiemoo · Aug 18, 2020

It looks as though it's developed nicely! Quite a good shade.

Sore, though?

The Agrarian · Aug 19, 2020

As I've said before here, our young kids all developed a persistent bark and a temperature upon return from a ski trip in early February. For a few reasons, we'd really like to know if it was Covid, even though it could have been one of a thousand bugs floating around on the plane.

At five months, I guess the prospect of an antibody test working isn't good. Is a t cell test available to the public yet?

Filthyfarmer · Aug 19, 2020

I took a in home antibody test a couple of weeks back after being chosen at random to take part.
Basically put a drop of blood on a test strip and photo result. Took about 30 min.

It was a NHS / Imperial college London research study and said;
This test is only for research purposes and please be aware that the antibody test is not reliable at an individual level.

Couldn't quite understand what they hoped to find out, was it to test the testing kit and see how people got on using it, otherwise I would have thought it should have been done at same time as an in lab test to verify results?

I don't think it is racially biased at all to state that multi generational households are suffering, sickening and dying most. The important political thing is that you have the data to show it. Then it stops being racial and is just a statement about facts of multi generational households.

This is SO important - it applies to all multigenerational households and becomes a clear message for everyone with no racial overtones.

Every small thing everyone does moves this to being in the past, what we have so far that is important is:
Wash hands
Keep distance
Wear masks
Don't go places where lots of people gather.
Don't mix at risk people that are careful with reckless ones that aren't [many of which are young but not all]

Don`t act like a prat in other words even if your religion or culture demands it.
