19:19Now Playingthe medical people I interact with at the hospital are far more optimistic than I've seen them since this all began in April last year
Nobody want's to tempt fate or speak to loudly just yet ,,,its like walking on egg shells at the moment –
But there are open beds and they're not filling up just yet - in fact there are 2 more beds now than last weekend.
Kind regards,
Claire

When you have a larger number of people getting infected, the total amount of hospitalizations is going to be more. That's just simple math

The main symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are:
a high temperature
a new, continuous cough
a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
Professor Tim Spector
Omicron is set to be the dominant strain in the UK by Christmas,
and in the New Year cases could hit a peak higher than anything we’ve ever seen before.
Hopefully people now recognise the cold-like symptoms which appear to be the predominant feature of Omicron.
Ahead of Christmas, if people want to get together and keep vulnerable family members safe,
I’d recommend limiting social contact in the run up to Christmas,
and doing a few Lateral Flow Tests just before the big family gathering.
