Coronavirus (2021) thread

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

I was talking to one of my German colleagues earlier and I asked him about the situation in Saxony, Eastern Germany (he lives in Dresden).

I’d read that cases, hospitalisations and deaths were going up rapidly and he said that his wife, who is a nurse, says that 90% of the Covid patients in her hospital are elderly & unvaccinated. The vaccination rate in Saxony is around 45%, which is the lowest in Germany.

Still 1000 people being admitted to UK hospitals every day

Sounds bad, but the reality is that works out at less than 1 person per UK hospital and the vast majority will be just precautionary and be out in a few hours.

The one person per hospital meme is just that, a meaningless meme. It includes all sorts of institutions that would never, in reality, take a covid patient.

The average stay is, about a week, not a "few hours". That's just obviously false. We currently have about 9000 inpatients with covid and 1000 a day being admitted.

9000/1000 = average stay, 9 days, very roughly.

1000/day sounds bad, and is bad.

How many have recovered and are released daily?

How many have recovered and are released daily?

We're currently at just under 10k in hospital and it seems so far this week to be quite level between 9000 - 9500 before that there was a definate upward trend of 100/200 extra a day.

for comparison in January that was nearly 40k. This time last Nov we were at 13.5k.

Ventilator bed wise. Right now ( 4th Nov was last update) we are at 1032, 4th Nov last year we were at 1193.

Hospital patients in England and Scotland - easily the majority of the UK - have fallen quite a bit over the past week. Full numbers on the data thread. Including the week to week fall in England admissions which are looking hopeful but is easy to predct given the big fall in cases.

 

[Healdplace]

Monday to Friday last week England patients fell every day from 7535 to 7072 and on Friday were down week to week for the first time in some weeks.

Scotland had a similar path falling Mon to Friday from 931 to 841~

It is 803 today v 902 last Monday.

Just to help the posts above. Not going to post data here as requested. Unless it is obviously helpful to the discussion as here.

It was 1024 on Friday. Latest data as England only post these numbers weekdays. Also was falling in England and Scotland last week. Scotland ventilators fell another 3 today. And down 14 on last Monday. So the trend seems to be continuing.

We have a data thread now guys, it's not just for Healdplace it's for all of you and all the data. Try to use it moving forwards please.

COVID Data Thread

For data and discussion of data only. Might not be of interest to many but it is to some and the data regularly provided by @Healdplace tends to be more up to date than can be found in most places on the web, and is useful for recognising trends ahead of what’s generally reported.

Apologies if that was my fault but once the questions were asked and answered I thought it was OK to post a few numbers to clarify the question. But understood and I will stop doing so altogether in here from now on. But posters popping in on here are bound to ask data questions from time to time as it is hard to entirely unravel them from most questions about Covid.
