Today's data show COVID-19 increasing across several indicators in England: cases, positivity, hospital activity and deaths. Levels remain well below previous pandemic peaks, but the direction of travel seems clear. As the UK COVID-19 Inquiry examines preparedness and resilience, and the NHS warns of winter pressures ahead, these trends are a reminder that lessons are most valuable when applied before services come under maximum strain.

No new #COVID deaths reported in #NYC the week ending October 17, as case counts and hospitalization percentages continue to drop. #Flu and #RSV case counts and hospitalization percentages are rising but low. I #gotvaccinated yesterday! #COVIdisNotOver and #FluSeason is on its way, so I #WearAMask in pharmacies, doctors' offices and hospitals. Once the #influenza case count gets higher I will #MaskUp in crowded trains, planes, buses and elevators!
I'm at the hospital right now for an outpatient appointment (don't worry, nothing serious). Even though I had my covid jab a little over 2 weeks ago and my flu jab a couple of weeks before that and am probably maximally protected round about now, it just seems like basic common decency to wear a mask. I am so far the only person I have seen, patient or staff, doing so. WTF is wrong with people? It's a hospital, FFS. #CovidIsNotOver #MaskUp #Flu #Influenza #Covid19
