Re: Not true
Sorry, you have made a basic schoolboy error and utterly failed to understand the data. Increased COVID diagnoses are an artefact of the significant increase in testing and does not provide a useful picture especially as 80% of people diagnosed only experience minor symptoms.
The facts are that patients ill enough to require hospital admission are dropping significantly, those patients newly diagnosed on admission are dropping significantly, numbers dying are reducing, those are facts. Now there may well be a second hump with new freedoms, we have yet to see, no doubt changes will be made if that occurs but at the moment there is plenty of capacity in the hospital system. At my own trust we are only using half our bed capacity and the expanded ITU is less than half full. The NHS is already gearing up to restart its elective work, albeit with increased safeguards.
Hopefully that’s helped you better understand but I suspect deaf ears don’t listen!
