So the UK hospital deaths today is 5. Last Sunday it was 3 and became 2 on the all settings deaths later.
 
14 people aged 65+, including 5 who are 85+
29 in the 0-19 bracket (4 children under 5)
201 people 20-64

Thank you, so that is only a small increase to about 6%. But is creeping up and has been above 4% of last week now pretty much every day. Not yet at levels of real concern. We need to keep monitoring it carefully though.
 
As for cases from the three nations other than England. Total today is 493 - which is I think the most lately.

Last week it was 412. So not a major increase over 7 days unlike we have seen in England, happily.

Last Sunday England added 2576 to that 412. 706 from the North West and 395 from Greater Manchester.
 
The government has now sent an urgent warning to care home providers as data emerges that the number of cases there has quadrupled over the past 2 weeks. And hundreds of new cases a day are being recorded in care homes round the UK at present.
 
The 5 UK hospital deaths today were all aged between 67 and 86 and all five had known previous underlying health problems.

Surely the huge increase in positive cases can’t be solely be put down to care homes can it?

I doubt it. I found that odd too. But it might be a factor in the sudden jump from 2000 to 3500 in past week which seemed to be the implication. Think we need more details to judge properly.
