Over half a million new Covid cases in the last 7 days.
Over 14k Covid patients now in hospital.
Yet @10DowningStreet is still seriously scrapping free testing in 2 weeks time & radically scaling back surveillance.
This is sheer folly.
*Everyone* using the NHS will suffer.
@toadmeister The percentages assume that there are the same number of beds over the years in question.
Bed numbers have reduced due to increased day care and also even more numbers reduced because of Covid regulations. Need to compare numbers now compared to last April.
