@Zubhaque Lots of reasons but let's look at the bigger picture and put things into context
1, these are +ve test results not cases.
As a Dr I would like to think you know the difference in the 2.
A case is only a case if the patient has symptoms and a +ve test result.

@Zubhaque 2, due to the bank Holidays over Christmas I'd expect the backlog to give a skewed daily +ve result
3, "more covid patients than the spring peak" is misleading and deliberately causing fear.
Look back at the spring they were ONLY testing people with symptoms who were...

@Zubhaque In hospital with symptoms and only testing 20k a day to get 6k+ +ve cases (25%+ +ve rate)
We are now testing 500k+ a day to get 40k or 9% +ve rate, with a pcr that has a FPR of 1-4%
Let's look at addmisions next

@Zubhaque We are now being told there are more people in hospital with covid than at the peak
We have already discussed the increase in testing
Now that everyone who steps foot into hospital are tested regardless of what they go in for with a test so sensitive at a high CT that it picks

@Zubhaque Up the smallest fragments of RNA from previous infections from months ago alot of these patients are not infectious, but are being treated like so.
How many times over the last 10 years have hospitals become overwhelmed at this time of year with respiratory infections?
I'd say 9

@Zubhaque I agree we are in a crisis but not a medical one and not a covid one
We are in a casedemic crisis caused by fear and government/media fear porn along with a pcr test that is run at a ridiculously high CT and a massive FPR
Turn down the CT and stop testing healthy people
