COVID-19 in Tower Hamlets update
It is really difficult to pull together number of cases, number of hospitalisations & numbers of deaths in TH from COVID
But although infections up in TH, as far as I can tell nobody has yet died from COVID in TH since June
National picture 1st
1/
Daily number of cases in TH from May to this week 1st pic
Last 3 weeks only 2nd pic
Trend line up but not huge numbers either & the last week is down
But obviously access to testing will affect this but new Shadwell centre has been open for last week

Cannot find recent hospitalisation data for Royal London/Barts hospitals but this graph I did based on daily London wide hospital admissions from 3rd August to 30th September shows an increase but very low numbers for a city of 9 million

So still at a critical period as regards increases in deaths, which earlier this year lagged infection by 3 to 9 weeks
But hard to get a complete picture for TH without up to date hospitalisation data, it exists but I could not find it & not in the same place as other data
4/
Only at a national level do we have a complete picture in one place
coronavirus.data.gov.uk
London has something similar but not same format
data.london.gov.uk/dataset/corona…
Need something like this in TH, a lot of this data is available now just not collated
