I won't post a full Covid stats thread today, but I'll go over roughly where we are. I'll start with cases. We've reached a staggering 173662 cases over the last 7 days. 24809 a day. Thats the highest since the 30th of January (1) 
The most recent data we have for hospitalisations is from the 29th of June. Thats 358, the highest since the 23rd of March. Admissions are rising exponentially. (2)
We've had 122 Covid deaths over the last 7 days. The trend is, well, unimstakably upwards - you'd have to be very optimistic to look at rising cases and hospitalisations and maintain otherwise because of a spike in deaths a week ago (3)
The catching Covid dying is lower than before - 0.2%. The rate infection is rising now is nearer 7%. The maths is simple enough. Without that number falling faster than it has, deaths will continue to rise to follow where infections and hospitalisations have gone (4)
In the (roughly) 15 days since those who died of Covid today, the 7 day average number of cases per day has nearly tripled. For deaths to stay as they are now, over the next fortnight we'd need them to fall to 0.06 to 0.07% of the total number of infections. (5)
Its almost impossible for deaths not to continue rising as things stand. By the 19th, we might anticipate 300-400 deaths per week, and rising. Are we really going ahead with fully going back to normal? (fin)
Addendum: I'll post a full stats thread on Tuesday. Promise.
Addendum 2: Its not like anything has changed substantially since yesterdays stats thread anyway.
