Another week of about 20% reduction in the numbers in hospital in England which is good news. Lots of noise about cases and hotspots plus vaccine take-up or decline but the figures are continuing to reduce at a steady rate. If you look at the numbers they have been between 19% and 27% for the whole period after the 3rd Feb.
Compared with last summer from the time we got below 10k in hospital it was 4 weeks before it got below 5k and a further 4 weeks before it got below 2k. This time it was 3 weeks between below 10k and below 5k and another 3 before it got below 2k, so read into that what you will but that sounds positive to me.
Obviously there have been further restrictions released this week that will feed through in the next couple of weeks, the main one being pubs opening outdoors with the added risks that come with that but so far so good.
