As we head into a third winter battling Covid this is how the virus is affecting Greater Manchester now
Greater Manchester, like the rest of the world, has been battling with coronavirus for more than two years now. As we head into a third winter of living with the the virus more than 1m covid cases have been recorded in our region and tragically more than 10,000 lives have been lost.
Horwich North in Bolton, with an infection rate of 168 and 12 cases, is currently the worst-affected neighbourhood in Greater Manchester. By comparison this time last year, as the omicron variant began to emerge in the UK and with the caveat that there's now much less testing, Deeplish in Rochdale was the region's hotspot with an infection rate of 881.5 and 88 cases.Infection rate: 166.5Total cases: 15 Ashton-in-Makerfield West Infection rate: 119.
In the week ending October 30, a total of 27 people died within 28 days of a positive Covid test across Greater Manchester, which is seven fewer than the week before. Since the start of the pandemic, there have been a total of 1,055,913 confirmed coronavirus cases in Greater Manchester. There has been a total of 10,099 deaths.
Elsewhere, in the North East, the number of infections appears to be much higher, with 4.02 per cent of the population testing positive on November 1. In Yorkshire and the Humber, the figure was 3.02 per cent. "The latest position is around eight to nine per cent of our hospital beds are with people with Covid."That means around 400 to 500 are currently being taken up by people with Covid. The region is also seeing at least 1,000 people daily who are medically fit to be discharged, but cannot be because of lack of staff and resources in the social care sector.

Frontiers | Oropharyngeal microbiome profiled at admission is predictive of the need for respiratory support among COVID-19 patientsThe oropharyngeal microbiome, the collective genomes of the community of microorganisms that colonizes the upper respiratory tract, is thought to influence the clinical course of infection by respiratory viruses, including Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of Coronavirus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this study, we examined the oropharyngeal microbiome of suspected COVID-19 patients presenting to the Emergency Department and an inpatient COVID-19 unit with symptoms of acute COVID-19. Of 115 initially enrolled patients, 50 had positive molecular testing for COVID-19+ and had symptom duration of 14 days or less. These patients were analyzed further as progression of disease could most likely be attributed to acute COVID-19 and less likely a secondary process. Of these, 38 (76%) went on to require some form of supplemental oxygen support. To identify functional patterns associated with respiratory illness requiring respiratory support, we applied an interpretable random forest classification machine learning pipeline to shotgun metagenomic sequencing data and select clinical co-variates. When combined with clinical factors, both species and metabolic pathways abundance-based models were found to be highly predictive of the need for respiratory support (F1-score 0.857 for microbes and 0.821 for functional pathways). To determine biologically meaningful and highly predictive signals in the microbiome, we applied the Stable and Interpretable RUle Set (SIRUS) to the output of the models. This analysis revealed that low abundance of two commensal organisms, Prevotella salivae or Veillonella infantium (less than 4.2% and 1.7% respectively), and a low abundance of a pathway associated with LPS biosynthesis (less than 0.1%) were highly predictive of developing the need for acute respiratory support (82% and 91.4% respectively). These findings suggest that the composition of the oropharyngeal microbiome in COVID-19 patien
