1/ Positivity spikes! As shown yesterday the positivity rates have increased massively over the past few days of data (to the 29th December)
What I am struggling to understand / process is the massive spike in low population density areas. Below is data for six North West LA's

Carlisle has increased 151% in 10 days it is the 4th highest in the region. In the previous peak it went to 7.7.
A place "Harder hit" previously, Ribble valley. Previous high 15.2 but now above that to 16.7.
So if this is the new strain there seems little immunity to it?

As the case rates have massively increased then we should be seeing this translate into hospital admissions. Depending on age / health this would happen from 2 days after symptoms. The case data is from the 29th so must have had symptoms 28th or prior to get a test on 29th
So I would expect to see admissions start climbing from around the 30th. We only have data to the 1st January so too early to see anything. Or could the new variant more transmissible but less likely to result in severe symptoms requiring hospital treatment?
Well what has got me stumped is the admissions to hospital from people already in hospital? This has reduced significantly since the start of December. Why is it less transmissible in hospitals?
So in summary lots of questions here but not any answers, just thought I would share what I am seeing. Have any other nations seen this happen?
