| Why does Hampshire have the most virus cases? 10:43 - Mar 26 with 1938 views | 1885_SFC |
Here we are - day whatever since the virus outbreak began in the UK - and as of today (Thurs 26th), Hampshire still has the highest number of cases outside of London. There are 33 cases in Portsmouth & 28 in Southampton.
What I want to know is... why is this? When you think of densely populated counties like Essex, Surrey, even the heavily populated counties in the Midlands or the big city counties up North - Lancashire, West Yorkshire, etc - does anyone know why Hampshire has the highest number?

Portsmouth Football Club? It seems to be our equivalent of Wuhan.
Also there would have been a lot of people from the affluent commuter belt of North Hampshire who were on cruises and winter holidays in all the wrong places . [Post edited 26 Mar 2020 10:52]

I'd have said Surrey was more affluent than Hampshire Dirk... as well as being a London over-spill for people working in London. Surrey has a population of 1.9 million as opposed to 1.3 in Hampshire. | |

130 will no doubt be using these statistics to celebrate yet another victory for Portsmouth over Southampton. |  |

"What I want to know is... why is this? When you think of densely populated counties like Essex, Surrey, even the heavily populated counties in the Midlands or the big city counties up North - Lancashire, West Yorkshire, etc - does anyone know why Hampshire has the highest number"?
What a superb question. My guess is that most of the early cases were in London, and as it is by far the largest city in the UK. My next guess would be that if you follow the districts in London with the most infected cases you can follow the route in and out of London.
The 5 districts with the most cases in London are Southwark, Lambeth, Wandsworth Brent and Westminster (in that order). Trains and buses are the most likely places to have passed this virus in early doors. The busiest train stations are Waterloo (Lambeth), and Victoria (Westminster)
The biggest counties on those lines are Hampshire 1.9mill, Surrey 1.2m, West Sussex , Berkshire 0.9
The 2 biggest cities on these lines are Southampton and Portsmouth (in that order). The 2 biggest conurbations on those lines are Portsmouth and Southampton (in that order).
People from Hampshire are more friendly than people from Surrey, and people from
South Hampshire are more friendly than people from North Hampshire. People from Soton have more of a worzel friendliness than Pompey which explains the near parity in numbers considering Soton has a smaller conurbation.
It’s a bit like the Hampshire’s Greatest Footballers thread really, the virus like football skill is passed on to those nearest and dearest to you, which kind of explains why there are a greater number of skilful footballers from the Portsmouth are than the Soton area. ie the football skill levels of Portsmouth people has been passed on since the late 1920's. That is almost a hundred years of passing on football skills. Incredible really. |  |

So aside from the silliness in tangling up some banter with some good points, where did you get those commuter figures from? |  | | |

Absolutely agree with this. Living in Fleet, it has some of the most pompous prats in Hampshire - because most of them have been imported from dumps like Surbiton. |  |

From Worzel 130: "People from Soton have more of a worzel friendliness than Pompey which explains the near parity in numbers "
From the BBC News site:
"There are 43 confirmed cases in Southampton, out of a local population of 252,796."
"There are 70 confirmed cases in Portsmouth, out of a local population of 215,133"
AS BBC News is a more reliable source of information than Worzel 130, it looks like there is more of his "worzel friendliness" going on in Portsmouth.
The fact that Southampton is a bigger city than Portsmouth clearly bothers Worzel 130 A LOT, which is why he keeps droning on about his mythical "Greater Portsmouth", which in his mind, covers half of the country, including the village near the Surrey border that he came from and the village in the Sussex Downlands that Bobby Tambling came from.

That seems quite high. My nearest big city is Leeds, 95 cases out of a 789k population. The council where I love has 75 out of a 614k population. |  |

Dirk the Worzel is letting his worzelness interfere with his thought processes. Just a few days ago, there were only a few less cases in Soton than Portsmouth.
Most of the ‘cases’ are listed as the patient has been to hospital. Haslar has closed down and Fareham is a small private hospital, so the 2 public hospitals in the greater Portsmouth area are in Portsmouth you enormous buffoon. Oh, and there is a BUPA hospital in Portsmouth, called the Spire BUPA Portsmouth hospital, but it’s actually in Havant. 
Any hospitals in Eastleigh or Bishopstoke?, oh yes there’s a small private hospital called Nuffield Health Wessex hospital in Eastleigh in addition to the small BUPA hospital in Shirley.
So the vast majority of these virus cases in the wider P & S areas will take their toll in public hospitals bang in the centre of Soton and Portsmouth.
Why is there now a wider margin between the 2 areas, well just maybe it’s because the P urban area is some 150k larger than the S urban area. It’s not hard to understand if you can just disentangle your worzel biased brain.
From wiki “The Royal Hospital Haslar in Gosport, Hampshire, was one of several hospitals serving the Portsmouth Urban Area”,
Dirk the Worzel isn’t very bright is he? Maybe he should get himself admitted to the Mason Mount mental hospital in Bishopstoke.  | |

No, most of the normal people are just discussing the Hampshire spread, see my explanation above, but Dirk the Worzel has decided that he needed to emphasize that Soton is a bigger city than Portsmouth for some unknown reason. | |

Bournemouth Poole and Christchurch is one of the lowest in the country. Considering the number of old people down there that seems a surprise | |
