Lot of negativity on here on projections on infections (not important anymore), hospitalisations and deaths. Agree trajectory is concerning but good to stick to facts so we are currently at c.4,000 people in hospital of c.50,000 cases. In the last peak of c.60,000 cases there were just under 40,000 in hospital so we are still far off from that and shows how well vaccines have worked. Admittedly there is some lag with people going into hospital but even if number of people going to hospital increases by 5-10,000 in next week still big progress since last peak.
If you don’t believe me this comes direct from govt stats:
