UK cases 279 per 100,000
Germany & Italy in single figures.

I just don't understand what is happening in this country with this.

We let a more transmissible variant become the dominant one.

Yes it's very worrying

Long Covid discussions.

At 50k cases a day you will expect to have roughly 1000 a day of those to be out of action for over 12 weeks.

We’re testing more probably

How many are they testing? The numbers don't add up as more are dying in those countries daily. There were 50 reported in Germany on 6th July and 24 in Italy. You need to start looking at the bigger picture rather than focus on any negative you possibly can.

Well that's clearly good news as more are dying in those countries as build more immunity then.

I know, every time I open the internet it's a barrage of bad news every day on this. I'm not even half excited for sunday to be honest. 16 months of covid has made my head go, not sure what to do. Sorry.

We’re testing more probably

It's per 100,000
If you test 100,000 and you get 279 that shows more accuracy.
If you test 10,000 and you get 28 then same answer approximately.
If you test 1,000 and you get 3 then same answer more approximately.

If other countries are in single figures per 100,000 and the testing process is the same then something different in the UK.
Could be many factors such as living closer together making social contact more likely, or other such factors.

Personally I don't care if we're 10, 20, or 100 times more. I'm more interested in whether it's coming down to a level that is acceptable - nobody worries that flu kills 1,000s every year to the extent of letting it dictate going to the match or not.

Flu is a known quantifiable risk. Covid is still an unknown risk and we do not have decades of data to quantify it.

Everything we do, short of lockdowns to suppress the spread, is a gamble. July 19th is a gamble. It may be a disaster or a giant nothing burger. We’ll know after July 19th.

See you on the other side.
