COVID - general discussion - Temp Locked

The new Papworth hospital at Cambridge has gien over some of its cardio and lung wards to  cope with covid patients

On the day Boris says "lockdown measures are starting to show signs of some effect" and Matt talks about "making this the peak" the UK has recorded a record 1564 deaths.

And they wonder why folk question their handling of the pandemic! 

I read that there are indications that the rates of infection are decreasing but reductions of death rates will be several weeks behind.

However the governments all refer to the increases caused by the 50% more infectious Kent strain. They do not seem to blame themselves for infections over Christmas however - I do

The covid positives in this borough have been going down since last week

Well that's OK then!  We can all relax. 

According to today's lunchtime news rates of infection are still increasing in virtually every area in the South West. 

It may well show this area (the mutated virus came from Kent)? has passed the peak ,and as expected, increasing in other areas

,When a lockdown as the first last year may have contained it better, , all the time there are those still in denial ,and trying to circumnavigate the advise/rules,,there is no chance of it being controlled ,

I use this interactive map, you can zoom right into your own locality or type in your post code and the actual numbers recorded. We have a slight fall today. Gov.uk interactive map  LINK

Well that's OK then! We can all relax.

I suspect that is what was mistaken for being sarcastic.

Which part of what I posted is actually not correct, LLM?

The thought that an increase in todays deaths reflected the amount of todays infection levels. Todays deaths reflect infection levels several weeks ago
