Update on COVID number methods

In the charts previously published I have written ICU, I've now realised that the government stats now report people on Mechanical Ventilators (which is not the same).

I don't know for sure if the measure was changed, but I'm pretty sure last year it was ICU - I just never noticed it change.

I'll not change the charts (too time consuming), but I will put a note at the top of the posts to this one to explain.

Covid numbers again, after half term...

*Update - please see my post on ICU or Mechanical Ventilation for clarification of numbers shown

As ever, the raw data is taken from UK Government Stats and the numbers smoothed with a rolling 7 day average.


Overall Health Numbers (from positive tests to deaths)





Testing Numbers (performed and positive)


Testing volumes and the +ve test rate.




The new(ish) chart - an attempt to map the % transitioning from infection to hospital, to ICU and death with a time lag in the numbers
