'tis strange, how we feel about incidence rates of COVID-19, which in Hastings back in November, had the lowest incidence in the whole of England and Wales, with about 30 cases at the rate per 100,000 of 31.3 compared to the national average of 167/100,000 at the time (blog). The rate then shot up in November into the new year and Hastings became one of the unsafest places to live in the country (HastingsOnlineTimes)!
So, where are we now? Well, I shan't tempt fate, but during the last week the incidence reduced to just ONE person in Hastings, ie less than 1 per 100,000, compared to the national average of 12 per 100,000, and I was so proud of our record back when Hastings was the safest place in the country with 30/31 cases! See the BBC for any area you are interested in and national statistics, but how expectations change...
Great stuff, fingers crossed, but carry on staying safe folks!
