Some horror shows in there. Terrible stats.

If it stays like that we'll come out of the so called lockdown and into tier 3.

Hardly justifies the most draconian restrictions in the country being imposed

What I don't get is cases have been levelled off for almost 2 weeks now, yet the cases per 100k are rising. There doesn't seem to be a correlation between the two.

Its the shop mate. Everything you touch has the potential to contaminate. I refuse to go in them. We do click and collect, we have done since March

Good luck to you both.

With a population of around 200,000 means 800 people are infected. The per 100,000 thing is just another number to use to put fear into people.

0.4% of population infected doesn’t sound as scary...

Then factor in those 800 could potentially infect another 1.3 people each. I get your point though, the stats haven't seemed to correlate all the way through this. I asked earlier why is the rate per 100k going up, but new cases seems to have levelled off weeks ago.

It’s not really. It’s just a commonly used tool to create comparable data.

It’s not, it’s a commonly used tool to let the stats say what the presenter wants them to say and mask the true impact.
Ripon with a population of 16,000 has recorded 19 new cases in the last 7 days.

This gives it a rate of 118 / 100000.

It doesn’t give you directly comparable numbers at all.

The figures it gives are skewed by the size of the area and population in that area.

Should have very little chance of catching it from a shop if everyones masked up.

Worrying.

Yep. Somebody who's hands have been in contact with the virus picks something up and puts it back down. Shortly after you pick it up and buy it.
Or the basket or shopping trolley is the source of contamination. .
Wash hands, sanitise going in the shop, sanitise coming out and don't touch your face.
