Deaths and hospital admissions from Covid-19 in Britain are now at a fraction of those recorded at the height of the outbreak, but not in comparison with levels “in August 2020” as we had it (Pressure to give jabs to children aged 12 to 15, 29 August, page 8 turn from 1).
An article (Who is now receiving critical care for Covid?, 29 August, page 51) said that women of black or Asian ethnicity represented 37% of pregnant or recently pregnant critical care admissions [across England, Wales and Northern Ireland] in the current Covid wave, while only 13% of live births [in England and Wales] were by mothers of those ethnicities. The correct figures are 34% and 17% respectively, with the latter figure referring to the baby’s recorded ethnicity.
A travel feature highlighting days out for cat lovers said that the Bethlem Museum of the Mind in Beckenham has 55 of Louis Wain’s famous cat portraits on show; while the museum has this number of Wain works in its collection, only five are on permanent display (Cool for cats, 29 August, Magazine, page 33).
