These tweets from the COVID19actuary account are supporting what @badboybjorn has suggested - that the increase in deaths is connected to the prevalence of omicron.

COVID-19 deaths in English hospitals increased by 43% week-on-week. With COVID prevalence so high this may include more who people who died of other causes, but with COVID, than usual. Purple estimates are based on the pattern of reporting delays in the last two months. 5/5

Interesting to see in this regular update from @COVID19Actuary that whilst admissions have levelled off, there has been a big jump in deaths. Athough this could be partly due to more "with COVID" deaths with such high prevalence.

Given this is a reasonable discussion to have with regards to the data, i would say @greenbank owes @badboybjorn an apology for his arrogant, insulting and dismissive tone.
