The published UK figures have been somewhat opaque ever since cases (you mean positive tests - with the testing basis varying and being on a different scale to elsewhere) and deaths (you mean deaths in hospital only, and with the attribution to Covid-19 being on a different basis to other countries) were about the only figures bandied around.
In justification or otherwise of the strategy, I've always wanted rather more information on ICU/critical care occupancy/practice outcomes/demographics etc. in order to better understand things.
I found just such today, and though it isn't exhaustive (and, like all statistics, is open to interpretation) it is quite detailed and I found that detail quite enlightening. It confirmed some things I suspected, and gave insight into others I couldn't even guess at.

Note: it is a PDF download containing UK critical care info for Covid-19. It is not a webpage link. If you do download it, you might find yourself taking some time to read it, though it is only 16 pages.
