[1/13] 34,526 new #covid19uk positive tests reported today (28-Sep). Another big day of England day-1 LFD positives although only slightly higher than previous Tuesday's. Waiting to see what tomorrow brings as usually the big post-weekend catchup day.
[2/13] Animated chart to show LFD-only positives being either converted into PCR confirmed positives or removed due to negattive confirmation, over the last 14 days of reports.
[3/13] Pivot table of daily changes to LFD Only and LFD Confirmed by PCR figures to see if we can identify where LFDs are now being removed due to negative follow-up PCRs.
[4/13] England positive tests by type of test used. Version with the rolling average percentage of tests from LFD.
[5/13] England positive tests by type of test, percentage view to help see change in proportions.
[6/13] Longer term view. 34,526 new #covid19uk positive tests reported today (28-Sep). This brings the rolling average by specimen date (allowing 4 days for lag) to 33,626, an increase of 5123 (18%) in the last week.
[7/13] Longer term charts for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
[8/13] Closer look at the latest 45 days, with today's added numbers highlighted in yellow. Individual nations and animated England charts further down the thread.
[9/13] Separate charts for England (28808) Scotland (2370) Wales (2270) and Northern Ireland (1078). Note the different scales. Also on certain days the specimen-date data for Scotland/Wales/NI doesn't get updated so the yellow bars may be mising or include multiple day's numbers.
[10/13] Animated chart to show how the #covid19uk positive tests by specimen date have been contributed to by reports over the last 7 days. Note this just includes England numbers as other nations don't always publish their specimen date numbers every day.
[11/13] And England regions, starting with North West, North East, Yorkshire & Humber and West Midlands. Again, note the different scales.
[12/13] Plus East Midlands, East of England, South East and South West. Again, note the different scales.
[13/13] And finally, London.
