33 355 new cases, 1610 deaths (as timH says) and no admissions data yet
I'm extrapolationg from my own kids - but actually I think it maybe higher than 50%
14% in the event. I can’t work out if what they’ve done for vulnerable kids is genius or madness.

99% of all deaths have been in the over 50s. If Labour voters are younger then they should be in favour of restrictions being lifted? How can the massive scale of deaths help the Tories politically? It’s just nonsense.Well we know that labour voters are likely to be under 50 (I think), and we know that there are good reasons to open up the economy when the most vulnerable have been protected, i.e. the over 50s have had their jab. And it's likely that when the economy is opened up there will be a new wave of deaths. So there is a political gain.
Are those deaths the unintended undesirable side effects of a good action (the good action being vaccinating the vulnerable (de facto likely tory voters) and opening things up)? Or will they be intended?
I don't know the answer to that. But I bet this is true: this reasoning will have caused a wry smile to appear on the face of Boris and Matt.

So roughly 25million so as a percentage of covid deaths (99,000) in that population what does that equate too?
This isn’t going away anytime soon. Olympics looking unlikely.
