Welcome to Tuesday’s coronavirus (COVID-19) latest insights, a roundup of our analysis related to the pandemic.

There were 109 deaths registered involving coronavirus (COVID-19) in England and Wales in the week ending 2 July 2021.

This accounts for one in 81 deaths registered, a higher proportion than the previous week, when 1 in 120 deaths registered involved COVID-19.

There were 8,808 deaths from all causes in England and Wales in the week ending 2 July 2021, which is 5.2% below the average for the corresponding week between 2015 and 2019.

In England between 21 and 26 June 2021, around 3 in 10 (29%) of the 3.7 million adults identified as clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV) to coronavirus (COVID-19) were continuing to shield.

This is despite a change in government advice from 1 April 2021, which no longer required CEV people to shield but recommended they take precautionary measures, such as meeting others outside where possible.

King’s Dyke Bridge Update – Click to enlarge

A message from the King’s Dyke project team:

 The last of the work on the project’s railway bridge has now taken place, with the team sealing the joints between its precast concrete parapets – this provides permanent edge protection from the weather across the bridge. 

Also on the bridge, two of the four wing walls (pictured left), which will extend back from each corner of the railway bridge, have been completed. 

The construction of a third wing wall (pictured right), on the opposite side, is now in progress.

Lastly, the site team has created what will be a temporary access point towards the brickworks from the existing A605.

On my travels around cycle route 63 towards Coates, an area I played hundreds of hours as a child with my friends. Just a few minutes from or town, the peace, quiet and nature.
I saw a muntjac deer, at least a dozen rabbits, an owl, a family of what looked like mice.
Then when I came into South Green, where I lived from 1952 to 1961, I came across
Mr Colin Cook, who I hadn’t seen for over 60 years, guest what he recognised me !!!!! and a good catch up on old days….

A lovely field of wheat – yes GM – not a weed in it, but we need the flour.

Maybe Jeremy Clarkson should come here and seen how to plant a field.

Taken last evening, the drainage at the Manor has always been a long term issue.

I’ll try and get some video for tomorrow, absolute downpour and cars overtaking on Parkway into blinding rain.
