The United Kingdom Has Another COVID-19 Surge, But Media Hardly Mentions This
Filed under: The pandemic is far from over
K infections and hospitalisations (with COVID-19) are rising again, according to official tallies, which tend to be overly optimistic. We’re meant not to pay attention because the media is busy talking about Russia, the government departments have cut loose many people, and tests too are being curtailed this month. In spite of these cuts, and in spite us gradually approaching spring (it’s getting warmer already), COVID-19 cases in the UK have been up 40% in one week, this past week (322,917). But testing went down sharply (from over 10 million a week to just about 4), so maybe that number of cases (not just confirmed cases) actually doubled this past week or few weeks. The number of people (in the UK) who tested positive for COVID-19 will soon exceed 20 million, out of a total of almost 70 million. We already know the long-term effects of an infection, but that does not alarm Borisnaro, who would rather change the subject, having nearly lost his job because of the COVID scandals (he nearly lost his life, too). The latest England mortality report can be found here and the next one is due tomorrow.
When I visited a clinic yesterday I spoke to one of the nurses about the lack of protection for workers; our government is giving the impression that being maskless, even indoors, is perfectly acceptable. The recent COVID surge across the UK reveals how misguided that is.
