The ONS weekly community testing results are out today which confirm that the infection rate is continuing to fall. They estimate infection rate at around 1700 a day, and around a third of these are being captured by our testing system, which is up from a fifth a couple of weeks ago.
They estimate that around 14000 are currently infected across the UK, which works out at 1 in 3900 people across the UK. I'm sure last week that figure was 1 in 2200 (may have been the week before), but either way these figures are heartening as they come at a time when we are opening up the economy.
The official new daily of new infections that have tested positive is 642 from nearly 110,000 tests. I think that's something like the 9th day in a row it has been below a 1000.

750 deaths in this country in the last week; Germany in the same period: 63.
Stop focussing on a trend from dire to less dire and concentrate on the fatality rate. It's still high and it's plateaued out over the last 3 weeks or so.
It was madness to unlock the economy. Utter madness. I fear there will be a terrible reckoning.
Still, at least some selfish gets can lift a few weights down the gym, stuff a pastie down their gobs and get pissed in an ale house. That's more than worth it.
You’re talking about 750 weekly deaths in a population of 66 million people as if it’s an apocalyptic number.
In the same time period 10,500 people in the UK will have died from other causes.
As an aside, where is this figure of 750 deaths which occurred in the past week coming from ? Would be interested to see the data.
Haven't the vast majority of those deaths occurred in care homes as well? Surely it's possible to lock down these homes and not knee cap the rest of society?
Yes, although every death is tragic, there needs to be a sense of perspective here. It is a tiny proportion of the UK population now, and the numbers continue to fall. We simply had to start the economy, we cannot afford to see a complete breakdown of society. Yes, millions are set to lose their jobs/businesses, but the longer it is left the effect on society could be profound. As long as the numbers are coming down, and the virus is on the retreat, then we must get the cogs moving again- albeit in a sensible and socially distanced manner.

I'm sure if you say it really quick that 750 deaths doesn't sound that bad, or 66,000 excess deaths in thr period of Covid19.
Could you be any more insensitive?

I said nothing about 66,000 deaths. Nice strawman.
The link you provided doesn’t show 750 deaths in the past week, it shows 511.
I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow, got my face mask and hand sanitizer at the ready.

Count again: 1st July to 8th July.
As for the 66,000 who died: following your logic 66,000 people dying over 5 months would be a fraction of people dying of other factors, presumably.
Be consistent, sonny Jim.

I'll say it very slow for you if you like. 750 deaths out of 66 million people is sod all.
July 2nd - 89
July 3rd - 136
July 4th - 67
July 5th - 22
July 6th - 16
July 7th - 155
July 8th - 126
That doesn’t add up to 750.
5 months ? The outbreak deaths in this country began in March.
Lets be generous and count every day in March, that’s about 130 days to today, round up to 19 weeks.
3473 deaths per week is slightly more than 600.
R rate increasing in Ireland, back above 1.0
N.I. due to open up foreign travel tomorrow, a large number of which will be via Dublin, a bit of a worry tbh.
