I've done a few threads like this over the course of the pandemic.

My London borough is 721/100k.

If it's of interest ranking of all areas is here

archive.uea.ac.uk/~e130/MSOA.html

Where I am topped out at 5th and has now thankfully gone down (but still top 20).

1,192 south

1639. Still coming down from peak of 1920ish.

@SagittariusDwarf

Am in Wandsworth and the cases are around 2600. Think it was around 3K a few days ago

What is the hospitalisation like with rates like that?

1941 Epsom and Ewell, has plateaud for the last few days having risen steeply just before.

Although the Zoe symptom study still says it’s rising rapidly in my area (they estimate 58230 people have it currently per 100,000).

Sorry, per million!

2200/100k here in Greenwich. We are positive now too, not really too bad with it though.

Now down to 1493/100000 (London) and the Zoe estimate is 5710/100000

What is the hospitalisation like with rates like that?

It's not got a breakdown by borough, but there is a graph showing pan-London admissions and there was a steep rise in the last few days.

data.london.gov.uk/dataset/coronavirus--covid-19--cases

Case numbers are down a bit - but because of the holidays, I think we need a few more days to see if it really has peaked or if it's just lumpy data

The vast majority of pre-Christmas infections were in the under 60s, who are unlikely to be hospitalised. Christmas inter generational mixing will probably have changed that but it won’t show up in the hospital figures until two weeks after Christmas due to the lag between getting infected and getting seriously ill.

We're down to 1858 per 100k (which is quite a drop from 2500 per 100k a week ago)

I'm hoping it isn't just down to the Christmas break 🤞

All boroughs close to me are dropping now. Still over 2000/100k though.

@SquirmOfEels you still have to take these numbers lightly. I'm a medic in a London A&E, the majority of patients in hospital who have tested positive for Covid are incidental findings on admission. This number has gone up lots!! But they are not been admitted for Covid. This is never clear in the figures. It still puts a strain on the NHS due to many factors but it's not a measure of Covid admissions unlike this time last year.

Nationally around 25% of Covid positive cases in hospital were not admitted because of Covid.

It’s dropped very slightly in Bromley (now just under the 2000)
Anecdotally I know a lot of people who had it before Christmas but not quite as many now

@Egghead68

Nationally around 25% of Covid positive cases in hospital were not admitted because of Covid.

The number given by NHS chief execs has been between 25-30% but it varies a lot regionally. I'm at a large trauma hospital with 1000 beds in an area of London with low vaccination uptake and it's certainly higher than 30% where I am.

Won't it still stress hospitals though? In terms of needing to keep green and red areas?

It's starting to drop in our area of London

@SquirmOfEels yes it still puts pressure on hospitals for sure. In terms of infection control measures etc. We also have many people attending A&E with Covid but who are discharged home, this puts pressure on A&E and tbh is very frustrating!

But from an outsiders perspective, the figures on their own have very little context to them and the good news is, which should not be lost in the data is that there are far fewer critical cases of Covid which is positive. If I compare work with this time last year we are in a much better place.

1186

2271

2737 and still rising in North Derbyshire.

lower than average now

2466 - no hospital admissions for past 14 days
