Not a full thread today. Obviously cases continue to skyrocket. But hospitalisations are, as I said, the next marker to look at. And there they go. We know that for the 20th and the 22nd they're also over 1000, we have English data but not all the rest (1)

20th of December we already know will be over 1080, and the 21st over 1100 (waiting on Scottish data for that). Hospitalisations are starting to rise quite fast. If that follows the trend for cases, even a little, its a huge problem (2)
I guess my point is that hospitalisations are rising right on schedule - it remains only to be seen how far they rise. With cases rising so fast, even the reduction in proportion being hospitalised won't be enough to keep pressure on the NHS down (3)
So, again, we are in trouble. There's a planned lull in reporting data over Christmas and Boxing day, goodness knows what that'll look like coming out on the other side. Not good (fin)
