Signifcant increase in 0-5 yr admissions - they remain least protected.

Latest Covid update for England: 12 Oct 2023

Admissions continue to rise, although slower than last week

Diving into Data & Decision making
Petition: Call an immediate general election

Catch-22: Scientific communication failures linked to faster-rising seas
