Some of these are odd. Barking for example has 2 more cases than a week ago, Enfield has had 1. Hardly second wave. There’s places on the COVID cases list that have had a bigger increase (Shropshire for example) who aren’t.

It's mainly pillar #2 results (Leic's #2 is massively more humongous than #1, CF yesterday's FT link) and they're secret squirrel mert (FFS)

Ahh got you, the one they put out is just lab tested then? Makes more sense. Still, lockdown Shropshire.

So do we lock down Derby or the whole of Derbyshire with its little towns and villages.This looks to me like they haven’t got the numbers sorted out. PHE have rightly been getting stick lately and I imagine this too is one of theirs......

Looks like Derbyshire according the list I've posted. The buck stops with the government.

They really need to start them briefings again. If nothing more than to explain whats actually going on, cos its confusing the hell out of me.

Outside of NHS, Health care and hospital staff testing. Root out the ft tweet, it's very good and quite revealing.

So, in a nutshell, cos there are more non NHS tests being done in the community, they are seeing more cases, but deaths keep falling/are steady?

Think so, on the rise in the wild (reports of factories with high frequency of positive tests), but presumably not significantly reaching those at high risk because of current measures.

Covid-19 vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech shows positive results

An experimental Covid-19 vaccine being developed by the drug giant Pfizer and the biotech firm BioNTech spurred immune responses in healthy patients, but also caused fever and other side effects, especially at higher doses.

An experimental Covid-19 vaccine being developed by the drug giant Pfizer and the biotech firm BioNTech spurred immune responses in healthy patients, but also caused fever and other side effects, especially at higher doses.

The first clinical data on the vaccine were disclosed Wednesday in a paper released on medRXiv, a preprint server, meaning it has not yet been peer-reviewed or published in a journal.

“We still have a ways to go and we’re testing other candidates as well,” said Philip Dormitzer, the chief scientific officer for viral vaccines at Pfizer’s research laboratories. “However, what we can say at this point is there is a viable candidate based on immunogenicity and early tolerability safety data.”

Ta mate. Found this on the BBC just now, it has an excellent map which shows the local variations as of 21st June. I can only assume cases have been found since cos some of those potential lockdown areas were pretty low at that time.

Coronavirus: Local testing data to be shared with councils
