Yes. It really is COVID. The more Covid there is the less room for other conditions. 
Yes it really is Covid (yellow), not pneumonia (blue -2020)) which has been consistently below other recent years

Ventilation is being used at approximately half the rate in the Spring with other interventions now being preferred.
Age distribution. Most in the 50-79 year old age group.
From the age of 40 years old the prevalence of males over females is very clear.

A little soon to tell what the fatality rate is in this surge as so many are still in critical care or in acute care. But, so far of the 5773 admitted 30.2% have died.
Plenty more of interest in this report but deprivation as a risk factor remains high along with BAME .
