Firstly, I'm sure you know the 12.872 results are correcting a reporting error and aren't yesterday. They go back in sonme cases to early September - and I know that doesn't change your calculation.

On the admissions, September is the start of the seasonal growth in respiratory conditions which usually peaks out in December.
It can be around 1,000 hospital admissions a day.
September 2015 saw 21,000 admissions for respiratory conditions.
What we are seeing isn't alarming in terms of numbers. BUt then you stick on the "with Covid" tag.
