At least Cheshire East is doing better than most of Greater Manchester now. Though I guess Christmas shopping in Omicron central will soon turn that around.

Death NOT from Covid, about 11,800.
1st December:
124,500 hospital beds occupied. 5829 by Covid+ patients.
Missed cancer diagnosis since pandemic started. Over 50,000 people walking round with cancer that they don’t know about. Many would have been treatable but many now won’t be. Over 50,000 referrals to child protection agencies missing in the last 12 months.
Public health is not just about a respiratory virus, which is the bit we seem to have forgotten.

First time I have seen figures like those, good to have a bit of perspective. It's all a bit of a pickle with no obvious solution.
 
REGIONS OF ENGLAND

Only London near doubling in 48 hours by the way. Tripling in 7 days here. Nobody else has even quite doubled in the week. So London far and away Omicron central at present.

LONDON 23,272 - up from 19,294 & 12,832 V 7761 last week

SOUTH EAST 13,568 - up from 12,023 & 9077 V 8828 last week

EAST 9621 - up from 8008 & 7589 V 5314 last week

OVER HALF THE UK CASES IN THESE THREE SOUTHERN REGIONS

AND

NORTH WEST 7787 - up from 7623 & 5345 V 4066 last week


The others are up too but not by as much and a couple of them are actually down on yesterday.

For instance

WEST MIDLANDS 5141 - down from 5668 & 4786 V 3439 last week

Have you seen Chris Whitty's evisceration of this point at the select committee today?

"The idea that the lockdowns caused the problems with things like cancer is complete inversion of reality. If we had not had the lockdown, the full system would have been in deep, deep trouble"

“This is sometimes said by people who have no understanding of health at all... and when they say it, it's usually because they want to make a political point.”

Ouch.
 
ENGLAND HOSPITAL NUMBERS

Patients UP 47 to 6405 - last Thursday they rose by 77 to 6130.

By far the biggest rise was in London UP 88 to 1460 - last Thursday was up 27 to 1163

PATIENTS UP IN LONDON OVER PAST WEEK BY 297

TOTAL CASES IN THOSE SEVEN DAYS IN LONDON = 95,683

This is a bit misleading as there will be a few days lag between cases and those needing admission - but these numbers still show the tiny number of the cases becoming hospital cases - though bear in mind this number is NET as patients are discharged too - so this is not a literal 297 from 95,683 cases - just a guide to the huge gulf between cases and patients.
 
Omicron cases seem low today - 1.7k on top of yesterday's cumulative total of 10k.
On a doubling every two day basis that 1.7k should have been about 5k?
Seems like good news.
Am I missing something?
 
If we take the figures for what they are, I think it indicates Delta is resurgent due to seasonal changes in behaviour and the environment, added to which vaccine immunity dropping off.

It's all pretty much what I expected before Omicron, just a bit more dramatic. Omicron focuses people back on COVID, more testing in people likely to be infected who might not otherwise have bothered. I do think however Omicron is going to prove harder to identify on a per-case basis than some believe.
