UK: Highest Number of COVID-19 Hospitalisations in Nearly 2 Months, Over 20,000,000 Infections (Updated)
daily update is likely to follow for weeks to come. This is an important subject because the regime of Borisnaro wants to just “wish away” coronavirus with its latest variants, as if when we “ask nicely” or “act tough” it will magically disappear.
But viruses do not work this way. Maybe Borisnaro thinks it’s OK for everyone to just get infected. Over and over again (like some of my colleagues). That’s just a radical, not just misguided, ideology/approach.
Yesterday’s report reveals highest number since 26-01-2022. There are now over 14,000 COVID patients in hospitals, compared to about 10,000 before restrictions were lifted and safeguards discarded. In terms of cases, we’re seeing the highest levels in about 2 months as well.
Update: Today we had 90,349 more cases confirmed, so it is the worst Friday in months. The latest number of hospitalisations (17-03-2022) rose to 14,671 (net increase of more than 400 in one day; up from 14,264) and the latest admissions figure (14-03-2022), 1,900, is the worst in 2 month.
