The figures in that table are alarming, with all their plus signs. If only my bank statements looked like that!

It's not a very good picture at all. Cases are rising exponentially. Yesterday, 83,000 official cases, but government advisers say the real number is in the hundreds of thousands. They
also say that if the government doesn't put in tougher COVID restrictions very soon, cases could go up anywhere to 600,000 a day to 2 million a day. And the situation here, I think, is seen as so bad that even France and Germany, they're actually now banning British tourists.

This is a hard to imagine infection rate. Even if the percentage of hospitalisations is low, it's likely to totally swamp health services. I suspect that the rest of the world won't be far behind, so we'd better get ready to hear this from our doctors, "Got covid? You're on your own, pal. Try calling again in a month if you're still alive."
