Thursday :2,015 new coronavirus deaths, Johns Hopkins University data, marking the first time the country has hit more than 2,000 deaths since May.
Experts have warned that the death toll will keep climbing in the coming months as cold weather drives more people indoors
According to the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, more than 2,300 people could end up losing their lives per day due to the virus.
The group also predicts that 471,000 Americans could die from the virus by March 1.
Nearly 190k new cases in one day.
80k in hospital.
All the wrong direction.

Very information packed thread from @rupert_pearse on the status quo in hospitals approaching Winter.
Essential reading.
I suspect we will be looking at a slower paced more Mexican Wave than the Spring sharp peaks and troughs. So as things slow in the NW they are rising in SW
The shipment of protective PPE overalls linked to N Korean labour was part of a contract awarded by the DHSC to Unispace Global Ltd, a commercial design company registered in the UK, which set up a PPE procurement operation called Unispace Health Ltd this year
In fact I think this is the Plymouth Brethren network of companies that cornered over a £billion of contracts and it seems keen to rebadge itself from UniSpace to Sante Trading.
The Hospital Best-Prepared for CV-19 Is Nearly Overwhelmed - The Atlantic
“In the past 2 weeks, the hospital had to convert an entire building into a COVID-19 tower, from the top down. It now has 10 COVID-19 units, each taking up an entire hospital floor” theatlantic.com/health/archive…
“Three of the units provide intensive care to the very sickest people, several of whom die every day. One unit solely provides “comfort care” to COVID-19 patients who are certain to die.”
“We’ve never had to do anything like this,” Angela Hewlett, the infectious-disease specialist who directs the hospital’s COVID-19 team, told me. “We are on an absolutely catastrophic path.”
Why would she do that? Very curious. From a quick look the two directors : Michael Quinn (now dead) & Brendan Cahill - both Irish. Company BVI. What interest would Patel and Shanker have in them?
Here Shanker Singham is expressing an opinion about the case but what is his interest in it? Competere Group. Looks as if it is linked to the Legatum Institute & the Chandlers who profited off the Russian oil/gas energy market collapse and sales
🦠 20,252 new cases. Processing back up but looks as if catch up is still taking place
⚰️⚰️⚰️. 5111 (28 day cut off) new deaths
63,873 ONS certified deaths up to 6th November. C 67k by now.
🏥 Admissions still high at 1737 on Tuesday
Similar on Thursday. Every. Single. Day
🛌 16,444 patients IN hospital on Wednesday.
The rate of increase has definitely slowed. Increased deaths is emptying some beds. Discharges no doubt others to compensate for the c 1740 coming in every day.
Some marked regional variations. Rising markedly in some areas.
Worth keeping an eye on the changing data over 7 days and also per country. See @LawrenceGilder ‘s summary.
It is IMPOSSIBLE that this conduct from Priti Patel was “accidental”. We, the taxpayer, have previously had to fork out £25k in settlement for another claim of “accidental” bullying in ANOTHER department..some four years before.
“Legal correspondence seen by the BBC show a junior employee at the DWP brought a formal complaint of bullying and harassment against the department, including Ms Patel, after being dismissed from her role in October 2015.”
