Oh. Oh. Oh. UK case decline keeps slowing.
The week on week decreases have been -50%, -40%, -22% and today -18%. Cases could be increasing again in a week or two if this keeps up.
Quoting: CoronaCoaster I highly suspected that Covid is coming in waves (or it runs out of people to infect until the next wave), it is very clear in Worldometer main page and even when zoomed into individual countries, most showed the same patterns. https://imgur.com/5CZCcj4 https://imgur.com/0QAHpf5 I posted the latest official UK weekly infection survey a couple of pages back. Here it is again. [ link to www.ons.gov.uk (secure)] This is almost certainly a better guide to the current levels of infection in the UK than the daily cases numbers. The weekly survey mails swabs to tens of thousands of random UK residents and asks them to return the swabs after use. Today’s weekly results show that the UK epidemic continues to grow. The daily case numbers do not reflect what’s occurring in the UK. Many symptomatic people are not going for testing, and many people who test positive have deleted the test and trace app, or are refusing to co-operate with the track and trace staff when asked to name their close contacts The difference between the troughs and crests are getting bigger. Why does this virus wax and wane? “We have chosen to fill our hives with honey and wax; thus furnishing mankind with the two noblest of things, which are sweetness and light.” Jonathan Swift. Instead of tearing us apart, could this virus bring humanity together, to fight a common enemy?
