London is averaging 40 hospital admissions per day from the community. Out of 9.3 million.

On 23rd March, London had 505 admissions.

Admissions are barely rising. If this is tier 2 worthy then we are finished.

#Lockdown2 Image As of 1st October in London, Covid patients made up:

49 out of 744 ventilation beds occupied (6.5%).
275 out of 17,451 normal beds occupied (1.5%).

Given the low daily admission rate this won't have changed significantly.
