Seven of those at the Queen Elizabeth and Heartlands hospitals who have the virus are currently fighting for their lives in intensive care, Birmingham Mail reported. Dr David Rosser, chief executive at University Hospitals Birmingham, said he expects the number to double week on week in the city from now on. "We have seen hospital admissions double in a week and I expect it to double in the next week again - it's an exponential curve. In Birmingham hospitals cases have shot up from around 10 two weeks ago to 23 last week. "We are as well prepared as we could be (for coronavirus) and for managing other services alongside," added Mr Brotherton.
