I don’t disagree it is a big number, my point is that it is the most reliable indicator. I would also make the figures regional so you can see the level of admissions in each area. That would mean far more to a layman like me than saying 19,000 people have tested positive when you know most of those will be minor cases.The hospital admissions figure was probably the worst figure today. The highest admissions since 15 May. We're going backwards (in a bad way) far too quickly.
I suspect that the likes of Hancock and Johnson think the size of the announced number is far more important than what it represents and in fairness they might be right in terms of trying to get people to take the problem seriously.
