So when does the new method of counting those in hospital because of Covid rather than those in hospital with Covid come into play. Or has it already started and I never noticed.

Shouldn't have been included in the 1st place in any eventFrom June 22nd probably
How many times is this now that the count has had to be corrected to show the true numbers. You would have thought that after 16 months we would have got it right, unless it was deliberately intended to be wrong. This just re-inforces the conspiracy theorists claims.Shouldn't have been included in the 1st place in any event

This for me as well. There is very little we can’t currently do. It’s annoying, but I really don’t want another winter like last oneThey're obviously worried that if we don't slow this variant down we'll have a big spike come Xmas, I'd rather keep social distancing and then be able to see each other through winter like.

Plus previous infection !!!The metric I'd love to see is admission numbers by vaccination (none, partial or full).

I don't think it will be smooth but the lower the starting number before the spikes them the less risk of deaths overall.Sorry but that’s one of the maddest things I’ve read on here in ages - what makes you think when it comes to winter, when we know the virus number is more transmissible (indoors, bad weather), it’ll all be smooth? We need to understand the point at which we can live with this (is it cases, is it admissions, is it deaths) and stick to it.
That if you go to hospital for another procedure they automatically test you when you are in there. If you test positive and not needing hospital treatment for covid but are purely there for another reason you are automatically counted as being in hospital with covidBased on what?
Or we could just return to normality like Texas and Florida.I don't think it will be smooth but the lower the starting number before the spikes them the less risk of deaths overall.
Totally agree we have to find a way to live our lives as normal with it now though, we fucked it when we didn't lock down properly to begin with, we should have shut the world down and closed borders for a month as soon as we saw this was a pandemic, we could then have focused on testing rapidly to contain any future spread. It would have stopped the whole thing in its tracks

Keeping the cases as low as possible through summer will mean we are lower down on the curve going into autumn and winter. Furthermore they want to keep hospital numbers down in the summer to try and catch up with the severe backlog of non-covid work.Sorry but that’s one of the maddest things I’ve read on here in ages - what makes you think when it comes to winter, when we know the virus is more transmissible (indoors, bad weather), it’ll all be smooth?

I can understand your point re the extra demands placed upon the hospital, but when looking at the 'severity' of the pandemic in terms of how many people are being admitted to hospital due to the impact of their covid symptoms, do you not think it would be helpful to differentiate. Surely this would allow for better decision making by government etc.And what is the problem with that? If you test positive whilst in hospital you require more complex management than before, which puts more demand on the hospital.
It seems you’re suggesting such patients should never have been counted. Why?
