I know it’s awful to say but good to see cases at low 40’s today. Hopefully this trend can can continue over the next few weeks and a mixture of lockdown and vaccine effect will see us at sub 10k by mid March.

No figures since last Tuesday.

The latest figures for numbers in hospital are from Thursday morning. They show that the number is still growing, although the rate of increase appears to have slowed over the latest three days.

I think the most concerning figure is the number of people on ventilation. That has practically doubled to almost 3,000 since Christmas Day, having seen relatively modest growth throughout November and early/mid December. My understanding is that it is often the younger, fitter patients who are considered suitable for ventilation.

That's always been the case even before this pandemic though?

Yes, although they were placing a higher proportion of people on ventilation during the 1st wave, until evidence showed it could be counter-productive in some instances. The point is, though, that the number has doubled in about 3 weeks.

Agreed. Hospitalisations are still high (in fact a close friend of mine added to those figures tonight) and deaths seem to be still on the rise. Hopefully though, the number of cases lowering is the first goodnsign for this wave, hopefully everything else will follow.

Sorry to hear about your friend having to be admitted ST, fingers crossed for a swift recovery for them.

Thanks mate. The goods news is he’s been discharged. He had inflammation on the lungs but luckily no damage so he’s got a course of steroids and antibiotics. Was a shocker, he tested positive last Friday and felt rough as hell All last weekend then was recovering and feeling better. All off a sudden on Saturday he couldn’t breathe. His sister, who works in a hospital, recommends getting on oxygen tester. They got a cheap one from boots but lack of oxygen (I think it’s anything below 92%) in the blood is an early warning sign that things are going bad.

Glad to hear it! Hopefully the downward trend in cases continues today and we can start to look at the possibility of putting this awful virus behind us all.
