Hospitalisations in London surge 26% in a week​

More updates from the capital, where the latest data shows hospitalisations have risen 26% in the last seven days.

The government dashboard showed 1,460 patients with COVID were in hospital in the capital on 16 December, an increase of 297 people from 1,163 a week earlier.
And there were 199 hospital admissions with COVID in London on 14 December, up 34% from 148 a week earlier.

BBC reporter at a london hospital interviewing a ward Sister who expressed her frustration that 9 of their 11 ICU patients had no vaccination. London has the lowest vaccination rates in the UK.

The government needs to act now and deny these ignorant selfish people free access to the NHS. No vaccine then get your own health insurance. Otherwise you treat yourself at home.

People in hospital always rises in winter. Every year before covid I remember reading the NHS was on the verge of being overrun. This is because all respiratory diseases are worse in the cold damp weather.

Booster jab day for me, brought forward a month. Anticipating a sore arm and a headache as am switching from AZ to Pfizer or Moderna, but very thankful that I get to have it a good week before Christmas.

Although it's brought about the discussion in our family about whether we'd let our kids have it, 9 and 5, and although we're very pro vaccine I think we'd have to take a much closer look here. Rumours primary schools will be asked to facilitate roll out in the early year, and I'd really want to check if there is a need vs the risks. Are there any publicly available studies as yet?

The government should do all they possibly can to get people to get vaccinated. Though for those that have had none it's probably too late for the current variant and surge.
But they will never, and the doctors and nurses would never ask them to,refuse treatment free at point of need, so you can forget that.
 
There's now a daily omicron report from ukhsa

COVID-19: Omicron daily overview

An overview and summary of case data for Omicron focusing on confirmed and SGTF cases in the UK.

Incredibly, doubling times in nearly every region are below two days.

That means the number infected today are probably at least 4x higher, maybe 10x higher than the cases reported in the headline figure.

I expect we'll run up against testing capacity very shortly.

I'd never have believed this rate was sustainable to this number of infections.

1.5 day doubling time is ~30 fold in a week.
