UK Covid death toll

It’s gone up 2k in the last 2 days KKC

Gotcha. The dashboard only covers those in hospital up to 22nd.

I stand by my point though, London is the epicentre, and I'm guessing there is something in the data from London giving encouragement.

In 4 days the increase in each region is North East 224 (26%), South West 76 (16%), South East 223 (27%), Midlands, 303 (24%) , London 764 (34%), East of England 206 (31%), North West 384 (38%)

All in all pretty bad figures for just over half a week of increases. Without London the increase in the 4 days is 1,416 (28%), and London accounts for about a third of the country in those in hospital.

I've just read the Omicron report as well. 41% of the Omicron cases hospitalised in London are unvaccinated.

31.6% of Londoners haven't had any dose so it shows a slight increase in likelihood of getting hospitalisated without any jab. Where is the report Chunk?

All the Christmas mixing and people holding off even doing tests won't really hit the figures until end of the week for hospitalisations I guess ?

This bloke does good hospital analysis. He was cautiously optimistic yesterday when looking at London.

The really positive news is ventilator data, which continues to stay flat despite increases in hospital numbers.

The narrative is definitely changing. Even the BBC "experts" are suggesting easing of restrictions, and that the latest data is better, combined with the milder infection.

Weekly update (a day early because I will be out tomorrow) is showing a massive increase in hospitalisations for the week (35% with a day to go) and especially over the last couple of days. Trying not to be alarmist here as it is only a couple of days data but the 27th and 28th have shown the highest daily % increase since the very early days back in March 2020. In England we've gone from 7,166 on Christmas day to 9,576 today, with the last 2 days of increases in those in hospital by an average of over 1k each day.

Regionally since last Friday there have been increases in every region with the South West seeing the least increase 16% and the rest seeing over 20 and 30%, the North West being the biggest seeing 38% (those are only 4 day increases and not a full week yet). It does look like everyone held out until after Christmas and are now seeking help. If the trend continues we will pass 10k tomorrow for the 1st time since March 2021.

Time to be careful folks.

Just as an update on this the week on week increase for England in numbers on hospital is 48%. Covid numbers are through the roof and we have added half again to the numbers in hospital in one week. 10,462 with large increases across all regions - London's increase in 5 days is 46% with the rest of the country averaging 40%, this appears to impact people in a reduced manner but there are more people being impacted meaning more people in hospital.

Take care folks.
