Worst COVID-19 Week in More Than 2 Months in the United Kingdom!
REAL WAR is happening, but the war on a pandemic has been put on the back-burner as if the newer war (in Ukraine) somehow ‘supersedes’ it.
New COVID-19 cases reported so far this week in the UK:
Today (Wednesday): 91,345
Tuesday: 109,802
Monday: 170,985
Bear in mind these figures include the weekend’s backlog as well (our regime has apparently decided that NHS no longer needs to report these every day, perpetuating the lie that it had solved the problem), I still need to go back to early January to find comparable numbers.
Even putting aside cases (and backlogs), let’s examine the data from hospitals. COVID-19 patients in hospital, by date:
15-03-2022: 14,078 (+481)
14-03-2022: 13,597 (+739)
13-03-2022: 12,858 (+366)
12-03-2022: 12,492 (+311)
11-03-2022: 12,181 (+161)
10-03-2022: 12,020 (+183)
09-03-2022: 11,837 (+101)
08-03-2022: 11,736
The rise is non-linear. The way things are going, there will need to be some restrictions on distance, mandatory masks etc. We’ve not solved the problem. The hospitals being filled up by COVID-19 patients isn’t just bad for old and vulnerable people with “underlying conditions” but for every person who may need a hospital bed, including young persons.
