This is were it gets more interesting...are we talking hospital admissions? Because this were somebody has gone to hospital for any reason, but tested positive, tests positive whilst in hospital for other reasons etc.

Even so, I agree there is an increase, but it in no way correlates to the infection metric.
Not even close to April. The curve is a magnitude flatter.

deaths steadily rising. The trajectory is inevitable.
Not really, they have risen, and gone back down again, again the death curve is even flatter and the correlation between the infection rate and the death rates, in any other setting you would struggle to assign a high level of risk to it.

It currently has a mortality rate of 0.5%, which is obviously higher than the true figure as the majority of people either don’t get tested or don’t even know they have/had it.

But at 0.5% it’s as deadly as none of the attached.
