Signs of a reversal in trend in recent days as to the proportion of beds occupied where COVID is the primary diagnosis.
As cases/admissions appear to be levelling off in London, this is consistent with my recent thoughts, here.

We only have data for acute hospitals, but from these we can see that those being treated primarily for COVID have continued to increase in the last week, regardless of any incidental admissions, up 47%.

In London there's been an increase too, despite signs of levelling in admissions, although the last few days appear a bit odd (data issues maybe?).
NE/Yorks is up 87% and NW 72% on the week.

A reminder that some being treated primarily for other causes will still have had COVID trigger that condition, and for all others, having COVID creates considerable difficulties regarding how they are treated and kept separate from other patients, thus reducing capacity.
