London was at around 200 admissions/day one year ago too (mid-December). However, the ICU tally was higher last year (370 vs 200-ish now).
It'd be interesting to know how many of those in hospital are vaccinated and how many aren't. I don't think gov.uk has that data.

I really hope not. The last "holiday ban" costed me my job last time. Make it compulsory to be vaccinated. Enforce masks. But keep kids in schools and travel open.
