I'm told Covid patient numbers in hospital in England will jump by another 1,000 when the data is updated later, off the back of a 1,000 rise yday. This will mean roughly 11,300 Covid patients in hospital - numbers last seen at the end of February.
There we have it - 11,452 in English hospitals, up 4,338 in a week. 
London the out and out clear hotbed of infection but the Midlands and North West coming up behind (major deja vu there) and all other regions on the rise
On a positive note - we are not yet seeing more patients in intensive care where numbers remain broadly flat at 780ish - although this remains a significant number of ICU beds which cant be used for cancer surgery or hip operations.
