Who says that's a reality ?
Also, whats a "large" increase ?
In the last month, cases have risen, from an average of about 35,000 to an average of about 45,000.
Is that a large increase ? Its 10,000 so you could reasonably say yes.
Admissions however from around 740 to 900.
Thats 160, so not really very large
Also, the rate 'per case' is actually lower.
The Deaths average has fallen.
Deaths within 28 days average from about 125 to about 115 per day.
Deaths with covid listed as a cause average from about 130 to about 90 per day.
The reality for the last month seems to be a largish increase in infections, a small increase in admissions, and a fall in death rate.
Deaths and admissions are lower than early September atm.
Compared to Jan this year, cases are slightly smaller, admissions and deaths are way way lower (and the NHS did not collapse in Jan).
