1. Incidence
ONS: Incidence now up to 35k per day, 0.9% overall; huge variance regionally and by age group, with young getting infected *much* faster than old (good news), and this is backed up by Zoe (KCL/CSS) data: ( https://twitter.com/timspector/status/1319191642910457857?s=20)

2. Care home outbreaks / admissions
Care home outbreaks flat; still 3% of outbreaks. But admissions from care homes rising (so size of each outbreak bigger?)
*If* our interventions work, why are admissions from care homes growing at the same pace as elsewhere?

3. Hospital admissions, ICU / hospital occupancy and hospital deaths
Huge regional variation, and v. different to 1st wave (pattern & velocity)

4. Covid triage
Key >70 data still not pointing to an incoming spike of hospital admissions.
Overall levels subsiding following back-to-school/college/uni spikes in younger age groups.

7. Mortality
*Currently* no excess mortality in 2nd wave, according to ONS (mortality year-to-date at 2009 levels) and PHE.
Deaths in 2020 are as far above trend as 2019 was below: "dry tinder" (sorry). Chart from

Chris Whitty ( @CMO_England) was clear from the start that excess deaths are *the* key metric.
If so, the difference 1st to 2nd wave is stark. In fact, 2nd wave isn& #39;t showing up in excess deaths (yet).
