File:COVID-19 cases in West London, 7 day total.svg

English: COVID-19 data from data.gov.uk. Figures are calculated by using:

• Daily numbers of newCasesByPublishDate from data.gov.uk
• Adding up the past 7 days reported cases for each date
• Dividing by the ONS latest estimated population, multiplying by 100,000. E.g. Gateshead ONS official population estimate is 202,055

Created using Pywikibot and Plotly. Last 28 days are shown with average calculated for the 7 days inclusive before each data point plotted. Will continue to automatically update on a daily basis while figures are high (i.e. above 100).

Note that NYTimes is a good comparison, which uses the same datasets, but thier ONS census data is from 2011, so the figures are "artificially" higher as these population figures will always be larger when calculating total cases/population * 100,000, but will give identical trend lines.
