But what do you think their roles in it are?

Hard to say because there hasn’t, as far as I am aware, been full disclosure of the contracts awarded for Covid related work. A significant amount of spend has apparently been placed outside the normal public procurement process. Nominally they are operating call centres and I believe they are contracted to provide one or more test centres. Project moonshot is made up of contractors from all over so they may have placed people into that.

What they do:-
Front end - Manage some mobile and drive-through test centres
Back end - manage the call centres contacting people who have been in contact with those tested positive.

What they are NOT responsible for:-
Designing or managing the process,
Sizing capacity,
Running the booking system,
Supplying the tests,
Running labs,
Identifying contacts,
Developing or running the app.

Yesterday there were 10 deaths of/with “coronavirus” in England. 7 of these were people over 80. 3 were over 60 0 under 60. There were 1590 deaths from other causes...

Average daily Covid hospitalisations in England: August 53; September 186; so far in October 567; last reported 10 days to the 17th October 654.

Average daily Covid hospitalisations in the North East and Yorkshire: August 10; September 47; so far in October 149; the last reported 10 days to the 17th October 167.

Studies dating back to March and April estimated 1 of every 3 people died from Covid once in hospital. That number has improved due to better treatment. Data from a Central Lancashire hospital in Preston shows 1 in 4 people died in that particular hospital up to the 30th September.

Given this information I can't see an argument for anything other than the figures you posted are due to reporting delays/issues, and that things are going to escalate very soon given the lag in admission to loss of life. And then of course we have huge numbers of infections on a daily basis that will ensure hospital admissions keep rolling on.

Some decent trends in that for some of the LAs.

What is interesting is that the big jump in a weekly period for most of those areas was in the week 28th September to 4th October. The NHS app was launched on the 23rd September.

Interesting split In those numbers. The LA7 who asked for early intervention seem to have stabilised, even falling in some places, while the Tees Valley authorities seem to be on an upward trend. Could it be that it is the south of the region who are in greater danger of going to tier 3?

Middlesbrough went into restrictions at same time and there’s have levelled off / the rise on last figure in that table was due to a ridiculously high number reported on 17th - it dropped back down after that day.
Stockton is worrying as they entered restrictions later and are rising still.
Hartlepool went onto them same time as Boro but it doesn’t seem to have slowed as much there
