Really encouraging to read hospitals in England are treating 9,000 Coronavirus patients a day, instead of 19,000 at the peak.

It's falling by around 2,000 a week according to NHS boss Sir Simon Stevens.

Hospitals are under significantly less pressure - this is very welcome.

@grashoff_will Professor Karol Sikora join_zoe I'm checking the number each day and it's going up by a few thousand every day now. covid.joinzoe.com 7000 more today than yesterday. I recognise these are trends but super worrying! We all know what happened in March after we were told not to worry and wash our hands!

OtterlyElz @grashoff_will Professor Karol Sikora join_zoe The data only goes up to the 11th May and was the same yesterday, so the numbers aren't changing daily. We'll know more when we get the next week's data to see the trend and that should also include the initial post-VE Day data.
