I agree. The figures look really bad. I’m seeing posts saying basically it’s a positive sign, but the numbers are ridiculously high still.
50+ thousand infections and it’s seen as better....
There is just one positive thing about the figures: they are not going up, and almost certainly trending down. As it wasn't certain we would be able to contain this variant at all, that really is very, very good news indeed. An exponentially growing epidemic would have outrun vaccination very quickly. So we've dodged the worst case bullet.
Everything else is very bad.
Cases are appallingly high, almost the highest in the entire world right now.
Hospitals are overrun, cancelling allsorts and I dread to think how the staff are coping.
Our death rate is currently the second highest in the world.
Stay home blues.
