UK Covid death toll

[Tom Joad]

The infection numbers - at least those detected - seem to be plateauing, albeit from a very high level. If that trend wasn't showing by now we would really be up against the wall (even more so than we are already). If it continues the government had better not be so bloody stupid as to contemplate relaxing restrictions earlier than suggested; if anything, if it doesn't continue downwards, things will need to be locked down even tighter.

The last thing we need is for Boris to have another of his 'Look, I told you it's going to be okay' outbursts, followed by some ill-advised tinkering.

When you think, this is on the back of lockdowns, tiers and another lockdown. It just shows how this thing spreads.
