So far Case rise:-> hospital admission rise is a 2 week lag.
Anecdotally-
Over the weekend, in which we had record numbers of attendances to the department (as- seemingly- did everywhere - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/nhs-emergency-hospital-patients-safety-b1868711.html), there was not a substantial percentage with covid as main complaint.
This weekend coming may tell a different story.
So not nearly as sharp a rise in admissions/deaths as the previous 2 waves, thanks. To be clear, this is not me trying to belittle anything, just having conversations with anxious "well what's the point" type family members. "Why be careful when no one else is, there's going to he a third wave regardless?" or "We're all doomed, why did I bother with the vaccine and how shit it made me feel?"
