Am sure have seen scientists saying the next week’s data will be crucial.

Yes, sorry, vaccinating elderly in India won’t affect transmission, was getting confused.

@Firefliess

It's a good question as to why cases are falling in India. Having vaccinated 11% of their population it's unlikely vaccines will be doing much to keep transmission down (though they may be helping reduce deaths and hospitalisation - only 6% of India's population is over 65, so they've likely protected most of those most at risk even with just 11% vaccinated) I would imagine it's a combination of lockdown rules and people being scared/cautious about mixing with others. And an element of herd immunity in the populations/areas where case rates are highest.

I also think we can't rule out just not being enough testing going on. Just because official case numbers and death numbers are dropping doesn't necessarily mean that they actually are.

Our local authority had secondaries go back to masks in corridors and other contact points, which is the same as the autumn term. It sounds like a useful compromise to stop unnecessary potential spread among students and teachers while not interfering with learning. A teacher friend said they've got the kids all back to wearing their masks properly now it's just for specific brief periods, whereas it had descended into a mess of half-worn masks in class that were being taken off for shouting up the corridors before.

Works perfectly well in classrooms and corridors my place and its not very strict. My head is a bit of an anti masker in fact! A few recalcitrant kids. Sixth form ironically the worst.

I agree re: delaying the next step and keeping things as they are a little longer. Much better than going backwards.

If it was only case numbers up then I wouldn’t be so worried but the dashboard is showing hospitalisations are up too which is worrying!

Number of people in hospital is falling

Not according to the dashboard?

I'm concerned that the numbers in hospital week on week have gone up by pretty much the same percentage as the number of cases this week - ie that the 1-2 week lag one might expect (which should give a rise of c.10%, based on the rise in numbers up to last week) doesn't seem to be there.

It feels as if cases and numbers being admitted are rising at least in step, which is NOT what one might hope for.

@Wherediditgo You are looking at people admissions. The other poster is looking at actually patients in hospital overnight. This number falling still.

Sorry, to clarify in my post 'Numbers of people admitted' is going up in line (in percentage terms) with 'People tested positive'.

Admissions are not reliable - people can be in and out within hours. The number of people in hospital and the numbers on ventilation (also falling) are both more meaningful and reassuring

OK. They aren't reassuring YET, though, are they, because numbers of cases haven't been rising for 2+ full weeks yet, and so we would not expect to see the hospital stats (a lagging indicator) to show those rises yet?

Agree it is to early to be sure that the inpatients numbers will stay good. That is why we wait a bit longer I suppose.

Admitted means you are admitted to a hospital ward. If you are in and out in hours you are not counted as admitted. You can stay overnight in the A and E beds and not be counted as admitted.

Ah I see. My mistake

If you are in and out in hours you are not counted as admitted.

Yes, you can be.

@Cactusali

Admissions are not reliable - people can be in and out within hours. The number of people in hospital and the numbers on ventilation (also falling) are both more meaningful and reassuring

Thank you. That makes sense and makes me less nervous

But I would expect patients in hospital overnight to fall. Much older people are going to stay in the hospital longer than younger people needing hospital treatment.

@Bordois

If you are in and out in hours you are not counted as admitted.

Yes, you can be.

Admitted means admitted to a ward. Anything else is counted as attendance at A and E.

You can be admitted to ward for a few hours...

I think you are talking about the beds that are situated off A and E. Officially they are not a ward and you are not counted as admitted in the stats. I have been overnight in a bed in A and E and not counted as admitted.
Also if you are in for day surgery you can have a bed for a few hours, but you are not counted as admitted. You are counted as a day patient.
I know it seems like playing with words and it kind of is. But no-one is admitted to an actual ward for a few hours.

Quite often A&E patients are admitted to a short stay ward and leave the same day. This counts as an admission.

Whatever the definition is, and given it hasn't changed, I can't see that a 23% rise in patients admitted (after weeks of consistent falls) as anything but a somewhat worrying sign.

If the definition had changed, then I can see that being very specific about where the beds are gives us more information. As the definition has remained the same, a rise, in line with the rise in cases and against weeks of consistent falls, is not good.
