Daily average of confirmed cases is continuing to surge in the UK, now up to a rolling 7 day average of over 150k/day, and now hospital cases with Covid have started to move up quite a bit. It had been hovering at the 7 to 8k mark for many weeks but is now up to 12k and the absentee rate of hospital workers is as high as 40% in some areas.
Omicron may be much milder than Delta but a very small percentage of serious cases of a very large number of infections is causing a big strain on the hospitals.
We will continue to mask up and keep mixing with others to a minimum. My son and I have stopped going to see our local soccer team this past month even though it is outdoors with only a couple of hundred supporters.
