Yes, that clarifies it, thank you.

John...700 students have tested positive at the University of Northumberland. Is that reflected in the figures coming out from HMG? I don't think so.

If the tests were carried out by the "NHS" channels (i.e. not done privately) I can't see why they wouldn't show up (but then, who knows these days). However, it takes a few days for cases to appear in the reported figures.

The number of confirmed cases for people in the age range 15-19 suddenly doubled in the cases reported on 29th Sept and I suspect that increase is strongly connected with students returning to university (and school, perhaps).

I hope that their teaching is better than their website (unless there's something wrong with my iPad!):

Indeed, though this graph suggests that Lewis and Harris might be somewhere to avoid, but it could just be showing 3 cases where before there was only 1. I don’t know what the actual data for those islands is. If there’d been no cases before the change would be infinite!

Quite right.

Lewis and Harris is part of the Administrative Area "Na h-Eileanan Siar" (Outer Hebrides). There was just 1 case in w/e 20/09 and 7 cases in w/e 27/9.

[Later]
The percentage increase for "Na h-Eileanan Siar" shows as 608.1% rather than 600%. This is because the two case rates that were compared were each rounded to 1 decimal place. I'll correct that.

The percentage increases in the chart are still good enough for comparisons - but I will update the chart.

[Even Later]
Done.

Corrected the rounding issue and uploaded a new version. The map is unchanged but the percentages in the list are now correct and slightly different to the previous upload.

I was thinking of Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco - a sort of Italian version of the Spanish composer Rodrigo.

Looks OK here.

Strange: definitely weird for me.
Not displaying properly at all (just rechecked).
I can't even click on the 'Accept' cookies, which I thought might be the problem.

OK for me, both on PC and Android phone. Rather boring monochrome design, but otherwise OK.

In case anyone is wondering about yesterday's case figure of 12,872, the full "health warning" message on the Dashboard was:

Due to a technical issue, which has now been resolved, there has been a delay in publishing a number of COVID-19 cases to the dashboard in England. This means the total reported over the coming days will include some additional cases from the period between 24 September and 1 October, increasing the number of cases reported.

When the testing was under the auspices of PHE and a major correct was made they would usually publish a breakdown of the adjustment by day. Apparently not so now that Dido Harding's crew are involved.

Anyway, the following compares the announced new cases for yesterday (Saturday 3rd Oct) by specimen date and those announced the previous Saturday, 26th Sept. You can see that the adjustment goes back earlier than the 24th Sept quoted in the "health warning".

This could be out by a considerable margin but I suspect the underlying "non-adjusted" cases would have been of the order of 7,500 to 8,000 (based on the 30th Sept and 1st Oct cases by specimen date).



My own "health warning": the cases by specimen date don't capture 100% of the "headline" cases by reported date, but charts are reasonably representative.
