the festive period brought generational mixing, destructive testing supply and patchy covid data which creates uncertainty about where heading. a leading infectious disease expert says while infections in the under 50s may be plateauing in london and the uk could see cases dropping, there s more to the story. this epidemic has spread so quickly in that group, it hasn t had time to really spread into the older age groups which are much greater risk of severe outcomes and hospitalisation. so, we might see a different pattern in hospitalisations. hospitalisations are still generally getting up across the country and we may see high levels for some weeks. following a rise in hospital admissions and high numbers of staff off sick, in the past week at least half a dozen nhs trusts have declared critical incidents. the alert isn t unusual in the winter but is raised when services are under acute pressure and may need staff redeployed. one trust affected is morecambe bay.
