🦠🦠🦠55,761 new cases. Increase in recent days but this may be due to weekend home test kits picked up on Monday only just being processed. (55,242 by specimen date on Monday 11th)
So there’s several days lag in processing
ONS has had to defer its infection survey report too

⚰️⚰️⚰️1280 deaths (28 day cut off by date reported).
7 day Average 1066 per day.
But looking at dates by date of deaths (and this week and likely last will still have several hundreds of deaths added to a spread of days) we can see that on Monday 11th there were 998 deaths

More will likely be added to all these days over the coming weeks as notifications come in gradually from hospitals, care homes, institutions & private home death registrations.

But NB. The ONS data is for England and Wales only.
You would have to add Scotland and No deaths by date of occurrence to that.

To understand the different way deaths are counted & to have a sense of lag, @LawrenceGilder has done a graph of 28 day deaths (the quicker but less complete record) by date of death
There hasn’t REALLY been fewer deaths in the last few days
There is just a reporting lag

The fuller but slower record are the Stats authorities Covid certified deaths.

🏥 admissions are now very laggy with the last full report from all 4 nations being on Monday 11th (4262). But there were 4134 in England alone on the 12th. Likely over 4,400
🛌 likely c37,485 looking at the most recent data from each nation.
This is an appalling NHS burden

Ventilator bed usage is now over 10% more than the spring surge despite relying far more on CPAP than in the early days.
This is highly intensive and specialised nursing yet nurses are having to spread their attention far thinner now to cope with the weight of patients.

Hardly any wonder we are reading tales of doctors and nurses crying on the train on their way home and having nightmares when they finally get to sleep utterly exhausted.
They may be used to patients dying but the sheer quantity would hit any human being.

It is hard to believe that we are still seeing so many care homes incidents (nearly 750 in one week in the most recent PHE report)
Deaths should be monitored very carefully particularly given how many thousands of excess care home deaths there were in the first wave

The good news is that 443,234 people have received BOTH doses of vaccine and 3,234,946 their first dose.
So 3,678,180 doses administered to 3,234,946 people
So 0.65% of the population have been fully vaccinated

Assuming the latter are included in the former. (First dose) then 2,791,730 people have only had their first dose. 4.1% of the population but with second dose to come
As a proportion of their population Israel, UAE and Bahrain are ahead of us-but they are much smaller countries

Eeek. This is sobering. Poor London.
That’s the problem with failing to suppress the virus. Other much needed treatments get squeezed out to make room for patients that cannot breath.
