Their website page offers lots of stuff on the virus, and you can scroll down and punch in your own postcode to find out what level you come under from tomorrow. (With me Tier 1).Comment

The BBC's postcode tool gives the general level but it is not, I think, as useful as John's new map tool, which offers considerably more detail.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostYep, thanks Bryn. I was just repeating the reference given on lunchtime News.Comment

That seems to be a new "front end" to the Gov's dashboard. There are some welcome additions such as giving the 7 day figures and the increases compared with the previous 7 days.Originally posted by Globaltruth View PostThanks John.

https://coronavirus-staging.data.gov.uk/
The data is the most up to date information available, as far as I am aware. It is the source of the case stats, etc that are quoted in the national media - though they probably download the data files via the Covid-19 API (as do I) rather than taking it from the website.
(There are also some download options on the Cases/Testing/Deaths pages.)
Some of the information in the dashboard is frustratingly limited, e.g. the cases by ages is only available as cumulatives for a single day, similarly the Cases by Area are only shown as cumulatives for the one day (you have to use the API or the "legacy download" to get useful information for Cases by Area).Comment

Interesting contribution from Professor Peter Openshaw, re reinfection, on BBC News channel just now. Worth checking out via the iPlayer, though it will probably get repeated through the day.
It's available now via the iPlayer, https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live/b...windTo=current . It started a few seconds before 14:40.Comment

Interesting ? I'd say it was very reassuring ! Thanks for the link. I've put my name forward as a volunteer for one of the trials. We shall have to see if I get asked to participate.Originally posted by Bryn View PostFewer Smart things. More smart people.Comment

Seems to have moved on now - I tried the link, but it seemed to start about 3pm, and no signe of a contribution from Prof. Openshaw.Originally posted by Bryn View PostComment

Try the red "here" link then. It's only the audio but that's what matters most.Originally posted by Dave2002 View PostComment

Thanks very much for that clip, Bryn. Very interesting about the doubts on reinfections, and also that vaccines are more effective than 'herd immunity' - he didn't actually use that term, but it seemed to be the strategy he was describing.Originally posted by Bryn View PostIt isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

I've amended to UK Case Map that I posted about in #4091, http://www.for3.org/forums/showthrea...056#post812056
To the right of the actual map, this version now includes a scrollable list of all local authorities together with cases/100k for each one. The list can be sorted either by local authority or by cases/100k. It is initially sorted by cases/100k in descending order - so it shows Derry and Strabane at the top, with 1015 cs/100k.
Clicking on a local authority in the list will highlight the area in the map, though for smaller LAs you might need good eyesight to see it. Clicking again will restore the map.
The floating information pane will work as before if no area is selected from the list. If an area is selected in the list the information pane will still work, but only when the mouse hovers above the selected area.
It is in test mode at the moment - but it seems to work OK. Please let me know what you think.
Sample (since amended for Scotland):
(There are small differences in cases/100k figures for Northern Ireland when compared with the BBC's equivalent map. After checking the cases I am using against those published by NI I am still non the wiser.)Last edited by johnb; 16-10-20, 14:43.Comment

Is it possible to get back to that, or has that now disappeared? I didn't get anywhere with the links to Prof Openshaw's comments. Otherwise is there a transcript, or other commentary with the major points?Originally posted by Bryn View PostComment
