MINI THREAD ON HOSPITALISATIONS:

The number of people in hospital with Covid is either flat or coming down in all 4 nations - excellent and a sign that infections really are going down (at least in older groups).

BUT they are still higher than April peak everywhere 1/4
In England, hospital admissions are now coming steadily down from 12th Jan peak and are now below the April peak too... good! 2/4
This is true for all regions of England (good!). You can see that they started going down in previous tier 4 regions (London, SE, EoE) about 7-10 days earlier than other regions. 3/4
The number of people in intensive care beds has only *just* peaked cos it takes a while from infection to being so sick as to need ICU & people stay 7-10+ days there.

We have a *long* way to go relieve pressures on ICUs - look how much higher we are than Nov! 4/4
