the Exeter area is among the hotspots listed. The Pennsylvania and University MSOA is No7 on the list of English MSOAs.Originally Posted by Mossdog
Looking at this BBC map https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54373904 (bottom of the page) of the UK, it really doesn't seem credible that all of the 'problem' areas are noth of a line running from tht Wash to the river Severn. I smell a gigantic rat!
No 'hot spots' in the SE or the SW, with all of their dense populations and numerous universities. Do me a favor! There's some statistical manipulations going on here for sure.
The top 30 MSOAs account for 10% of the current cases. They represent around 0.4% of the English population and the top 30 are almost all heavily Uni based.
No1 University Park, Lenton Abbey and Jubilee Campus in Nottingham.
No3 Arboretum, Forest and Trent University - also Nottingham.
Nottingham has 6 of the top 20
Whatever your views on "cases" the current increase is hugely driven by students, although I do wonder how many of them are active nfections.
