[ Different respiratory viruses are now an emergency in ENGLAND. But COVID remains the one causing more hospitalisations. Admissions can escalate incredibly quickly this winter. ]
'40% of A&E patients who need admitting face a delay of four hours or more for a bed, while more than 10% are waiting half a day - or more'.
Chaos that could [should] [would] have been avoided with 12 years' of effective government leadership.
By ignoring #Covid hospitals are being put under unnecessary pressure.

Hospital-acquired Covid cases are rising.
There were 1,469 likely hospital acquired cases in the 7 days to 5 December vs 1,167 in the previous week - a 26% increase. This follows a 25% increase the previous week.
Total Covid hospitalisations are up 12% in the past week. 1/2
in Switzerland
The Federal health authority has mistakenly declared only half of the COVID-19 hospitalisations of the past 2 years.
Almost one in 100 swiss has been hospitalized due to covid19 so far.

Ventilation reduces the risk of COVID. So why are we still ignoring it?
"Ventilation isn’t often measured because, in the absence of legislation mandating ventilation requirements and indoor air quality, no one is responsible for it"
