10 days surprises me.

I'm not saying the current figures and increase aren't a cause for concern but:

- Number of people in hospital in England is currently 2,944. The peak was 17,172 on 12th April.
- Number of people on ventilators in England is currently 376. The peak was 2,881 also on 12th April.

Even if those figures were to double in 10 days, (which would be faster than at the moment) they would still be much less than earlier in the year.
