I know y’all want to talk about the 100,000 reported cases milestone but I’m an actuary and a pedant and it’s all about specimen date for me! I expect @statsgeekclare would approve.

On behalf of @COVID19actuary here is a summary of this week's @ICNARC report of intensive care admissions and outcomes in England, Wales & N. Ireland.

There have been 9,354 ICU Covid patients since 1 May 2021, almost as many as in the first wave. 1,102 are still in ICU. 1/10

Estimates of hospitalisation or case rates for unvaccinated people depend crucially on estimates of the size of the population, which are highly uncertain. Comparisons of such rates by vaccine status are open to misinterpretation and deliberate misuse.

Lastly:
- REACT and ONS infections studies
- Latest R estimate

Finally, it's good to see attention now being drawn to the relatively slow roll out in several media channels, including today's BBC One o' Clock News. Earlier on, I discussed the issue on @BBCr4today with Professor @adamhfinn.

@Car_Abrahams Looks beautiful, Caroline. I sorry to hear of your loss. May she rest in peace and admire your garden.

[jules constantinou @julesconstantin]

@Car_Abrahams Congratulations, Caroline. Well deserved.

[jules constantinou @julesconstantin]

Great challenge, Adele. A very complicated situation - all stakeholders private and public have an important role to play. Let’s not look back - let’s look forward.

[Adele Groyer @AdeleGroyer]

I am sorry Sir Dilnot but I do not agree that social care funding problems are the fault of the insurance industry. There are long term care insurance products available right now but sales are vanishingly small compared to the need. 1/4 https://t.co/leKLFxtMZ2

'There is an assumption that if you ask people what they want, they will ask for expensive equipment or more nursing care. In fact, what they often want is friendship and hope.'
