This weeks figures for England and Wales are out showing the data up until week 27 (3rd July). Again we're running at about the same as this time last year, slightly up on last year and slightly down on the 5 year average and still holding at that 62.5k excess death figure.
The hospital admissions, people in hospital and those on ventilators figures are dropping slowly but it does indicate that those in hospital now are unlikely to recover, the dates are slightly out which makes it hard to measure accurately but deaths (600 in the past week reported) are matching the 7 day reduction (up to the 9th July) in those in hospital. There are still over 2000 in hospital with this.
