The covid tidal wave heads North once more

Hospitals in the Midlands are being primed to take covid patients from London and the South East, but with the tidal wave of covid admissions sweeping north this seems like a very short term fix.

This week on the podcast the team track how admissions are changing throughout the country, with numbers starting to dip in London for the second day in a row. Things are looking less promising in other regions, with particular concern about the North once again.

We also discuss why the capital appears to be lagging behind on vaccines and why supply rather than manpower is a sticking point.

With Annabelle Collins, Lawrence Dunhill, Jasmine Rapson and Rebecca Thomas.
