totally agree.

the other inconvenient truth is lots of transmission is in hospitals. A lot of people go into hospital for something else and end up catching Covid. My aunt did.

now that health care workers have been vaccinated this will really help with the spread of Covid in hospitals which is going to be a big help With the numbers.

the vaccination numbers are also high again today after a dip in recent days .347k.

Most of the spread was via cleaners and meal delivery staff. For some reason they were the last healrh workers jabbed. Thats NHS management for you.
 
My biggest concern about those numbers today is that this is another 700 out of hospital deaths in England alone - to add to all those yesterday. Many of these are in care homes and THIS is the real scandal here.

England has shamefully let down those in care homes and it was obvious from day one they were the most at risk.

When this is over this will rightly be a scandal.

When this is over careers will be ended because of this. As a nation we should be ashamed at allowing this to happen to our most vulnerable. Some of whom likely helped us not now be a Nazi colony.

Sorry to say but 8% or so of those hospitalised die. It was 26% back in the 1st wave so thats an improvement.
Of todays 3,887 admitted to hospital, 311 will die in the coming weeks.

This surely can't be right.

It gets confusing between the nations, but England alone hospital deaths peak by date of death was 756, on 12th January.

The peak in admissions was actually on the same day, 4134

756/4134 = 18%

Even with lags etc, there's no way it's 8% I think?

Have I made some obvious error here? Where's your number from?
