>> I don't know about the Guardian, but the local hospital is overwhelmed already.
My sister has a reasonably senior NHS management role in the Midlands and says it's the same there. Leicester and Northampton, as just two examples, are pushing the envelope for ICU capacity. The uptick in rates suggests 'new variant' covid has already jumped well outside London and the SE.
My own thought is that if, as predicted, limiting Xmas mixing to 25th only leads to carnage on the roads some places may really struggle.
