my unqualified bit on the 'overwhelmed' discussion
Think its complex & cant just put a number with respect to whole NHS, as if the virus was as simply spread neatly like below, since that's not how it works
E.g Liverpool was swamped last autumn while London was relatively sound

Like, latest data up the 7th Sep 21 has Liverpool University Hospitals FT already over half the ICU beds of January peak, a time where make-shift beds had to be made cos of how overwhelmed the situation was <- during a lockdown that constrained other resp virus & accidents
Not my area, so don't know too much on this, but I wonder how much strain is also added to these services because of these other non-covid admissions to take into account, which 100% needs to be considered in this conversation obviously
One number for entire NHS is simple tbf & not suggesting having a number for each trust, gotta draw the line somewhere. But just saying, this complexity needs more discussion maybe as opposed to total NHS
Maybe a NHS regional discussion?

and hear from people who job it is to project medium term capacity issues at these trust/regional levels to come up with these thresholds , whoever they are, and go from there accordingly
Also before I get dm's again from KBF meffs or whatever... no, I don't think we should be properly considering shutting any business in a post-vaccine era
Just saying, need to discuss parameters defining actual limits better etc and follow from there 👍
