England hospital deaths up too

875 - with 109 from NW - much on a par with last week - when it was 842 with 103 NW.

More evidence we are at a plateau here.

This is a modest week to week rise in what is one of the two biggest numbers of the week due to weekend catch up.

And NW still not showing any rise in death numbers percentage wise despite being high in case numbers

Starting to wonder if the current outbreak is more virulent and less deadly and if the fact that the NW seems to have focused on all care home residents being vaccinated has begun suppressing the numbers of deaths here. Though the real impact would not be seen just yet.

Something is working because deaths have stayed consistently at around 10 - 12% of England total even as the % of the cases in the NW escalated when the southern regions fell markedly.

May yet be a rise to come. But so far this looks positive news.

Well, not really, they should be going up, bearing in mind the number of cases 3 weeks ago. I believe the slight reduction is down to the 2 Rumatoid Arthritis drugs Tocilizumab and Sarilumab that were approved by MHRA for general roll-out on 7th January.

UK Approves Arthritis Drugs for Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients

The immunosuppressive drugs tocilizumab and sarilumab improved survival and recovery time of intensive care COVID-19 patients, according to a preprint.

So total deaths with all settings in England to come (always a big add on midweek though tomorrow is usually the most) is 986. It was 945 last Tuesday

That became 1610 as huge numbers out of hospital in England were added on both Tuesday and Wednesday.

The other 3 nations are already inclusive of out of hospital deaths. Only England reports separately.
