The 1 in 37 is Yorkshire & Humber total who have it, but the 690 per 100,000 for Notts isn’t a total it’s just the positive cases in the last 7 days.
So you’re comparing two different things. There will be more people that ‘have it’ than there will be people who have only just found out they have it in the last few days.
Only people who have been tested positive have had it. Those who are tested positive in the future will have had it. Both numbers reflect the percentage of the population who have have had it based on tests performed. I'm puzzled that "Yorkshire plus Humber" which most likely has a population density OVERALL LESS than one single city - Nottingham ? Unless the 690 doesn't mean the City of Nottingham, but the county of Nottinghamshire.
Does Humber include some or all of Lincolnshire? A sparsely inhabited county if included would make the numbers even more puzzling.
Statistics, damned statistics !
 
So was you proper poorly or asymptomatic?
Lesser men and goat ****ers like hatem would probably be dead.
Plenty of greasy food and alcohol fought it off.
Tbh I dunno I had a rough patch in April thought it was sinusitis or cold
And same again end of May beginning of June. Then got tested late June and had had it.

Not quite sure the point you’re making, but maybe I wasn’t clear.
The 1 in 37 are people who have it. They will have tested positive, but may have tested positive 10 days ago and still have symptoms
The 690 figure for Nottingham is people who have tested positive in the last 7 days (per 100,000 population)
That’s why the two figures aren’t comparable, the 690 figure will always be smaller as it doesn’t take into account anyone who tested positive more than 7 days ago.
That’s all I was trying to say.

They use the per 100k figure to smooth out comparisons between smaller and larger population areas. It would be rational to assume more densely populated areas would have a higher number per 100k, but I’m not sure the evidence actually backs that up (Some areas of London lower than many areas of East Riding for example)

oh and the Humber includes North Lincs and North East Lincs council areas (basically it’s the old Humberside County Council are)
 
Folk music from Georgia is just the tonic to cheer us all up in these dark covid days. The smile of the girl in the middle is just ....well I don't know what the word is but that smile is just....well I don't know what the word is but that smile, wow.

Did I just watch all that and she didn’t get her tits out???
 
Taken from new Imperial College research:

  • The hardest hit area is Yorkshire and the Humber, where one in every 37 people has the virus, followed by the North West region
That sounds unrealistically high to me, anybody on the ground in Hull got an opinion?

I’ve been to Hull & surrounding areas today. Hope you dirty ****s haven’t passed summat nasty onto me.
