Last week’s report from @ICNARC detailed 10,149 admissions

This week?

12,115

**And remember for every patient on ITU there are multiple more on the wards being cared for**

https://www.icnarc.org/DataServices/Attachments/Download/326bbfc2-d851-eb11-912d-00505601089b

This is already 1180 patients more than was admitted during the WHOLE first peak ....and we’re not at this peak yet.

We’re still climbing the hill

And again remember how many MORE must be one the wards....and those being managed by community teams

And that 87.4% were living without assistance prior to admission

And 91.3% have not had any very severe co-morbidity

And the mean age is *60years old*

And the majority have a BMI of <30

And those who are most deprived are disproportionately affected.

Which is sadly those who are already impacted disproportionately by the economic impact of this pandemic

Of all these 12,115 patients admitted since the 1st September 28% are already dead

46% have been discharged

And 25% are still admitted - but remember the recent sharp increase means there will probably be more in the ‘still admitted group’ then there has been in last few wks

The 28% who have died = 3415 people

In the whole first wave up to Aug 31st 4311 died in critical care

And remember, we’re not yet at the peak of this wave

A double decker bus has ~80seats

The death toll is already 42 double decker buses

AND THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE WARDS

For those that have needed mechanical ventilation 41% are already dead

24.4% have been discharged

-and when you look at the still in ITU group, remember the rapid rise in cases means many will still be at an early stage of their journey

Out of the 12115 persons admitted - it seems that only 3774 have so far gotten away *without needing* mechanical ventilation AND survived (basic respiratory support only)

This is only 31.1% of the total ITU admissions

Requiring renal support (dialysis or filtration) while in ITU increased mortality significantly for all Covid 19 patients

That’s all

And remember that Covid care does not start and end on critical care

These numbers are for this cohort, but there are many more
- in the community
- in A&E
- on medical wards

Everyone is trying their best #HandsFaceSpace
#stayathome
