Hospitalisation have been between 5000 to 9000 since opening up currently 7315 as 7 day average.

To provide context January period it was 30k+, peaking at just under 40k

January period:
Cases around 70k
Hospitalisations 30k
Deaths around 1600 (peaked 1850)

Currently:
Cases around 35-40k
Hospitalisations 7k
Deaths around 120-150

Let’s hope that continues for the next 45 days
----------------------------------------------------------------------
even if it does continue we are still talking between 5 and 7 thousand people dying in those 45 days.

One of the things that concerns me is how the longer these things go on people become more accepting/tolerant/desensitized to people dying.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well that might very well be the case with covid. What do you propose? Lockdowns every year? Social distancing 24/7?

Or is your point merely that it’s sad that more people are dying from this virus?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As a first step we need an actual strategic solution to the impact that this has on demand for NHS services. I’ve seen very little in terms of specifically how we’re looking to materially increase the number of doctors and nurses, and have been unimpressed with the infrastructure investment and the politicking around it.

If we start from a premise that it is unacceptable to have someone dying gasping for air because there isn’t a ventilator or sufficient care available. Non-pharma measures will help to reduce demand, but are blunt. Pharma solutions are extremely useful too and are the primary source of reducing demand (with both second order impact on supply by reducing case rates amongst NHS staff). However we really need to consider how we reverse the decline in supply in a sustainable long term manner. Without that I think it is likely, to avoid the situation I describe above re dying because can’t be treated, that non-pharma measures in some form would be necessary.

That’s another 1,850,000 - 5,500,000 cases at the current case to death rate of 1.35%

Surely that’s too high? Unless my maths is failing me
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ll dig out the analysis so you can see.

That's without increased vaccination or distancing measures I hope?

Also I'm guessing it's working off the assumption it's as deadly as Delta?

It is based on restrictions as they were communicated on Saturday (so pre last night but post last week).

On your second point you are correct that that assumption is embedded in there in the absence of credible analysis suggesting otherwise (which should be available in a week or so). Rosanna Barnard in her thread that Stuart links to has all the deets 👍

If nobody ever got a test again, that would eradicate Covid.

Well, theoretically, yes. If you never got a driving or STD test, that would also eradicate Covid.
