webfact Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Rising UK coronavirus cases of great concern, senior medical officer says People queue to undertake a coronavirus disease (COVID-19) test at a walk-in test facility in Bolton, Britain, September 7, 2020. REUTERS/Phil Noble LONDON (Reuters) - England's deputy chief medical officer said the rise in the number of coronavirus cases was of great concern and people had "relaxed too much" over the summer. Warning people they would need to follow the guidelines, Jonathan Van-Tam said: "We have got to start taking this very seriously again". "If we’re not careful we’re going to have a bumpy ride, people have relaxed too much," he said. The United Kingdom recorded 2,948 daily confirmed cases of COVID-19, according to government data published on Monday, the second biggest 24-hour rise since May. Daily case numbers had been rising at about 1,000 a day for most of August, but have started to increase in recent days. Britain's testing capacity has also increased since the peak of the first wave earlier this year. The United Kingdom has suffered more than 65,000 excess deaths from coronavirus, according to the government's statistics office, with a surge that lasted longer and spread to more places than those in other hard-hit European nations like Italy and Spain.

And that after 6 month and already many deaths. I guess it´s like some countries can do this, and some just lacks the possibility. Thailand can, UK and a couple of others can´t.

Popular Post rupert the bear Posted September 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2020 massive testing shows a lot of cases,not totally unexpected,we dont test here,many cases show no signs or symptoms, and deaths and hospitalisations have plumetted ,seems positive.the massive fear mongering has had an effect.deaths and hospitalisations had to be reduced officially as the gov/nhs was lying.even with that drop it appears falsified.what are the true figs?NHS killed thousands of elderly by sending infected people back to OAP homes,whos responsible?whos been arrested or charged?same old same old.in my profession i would have been charged with criminal negligence or manslaughter but gov isnt they still get to collect the gold plated pensions we pay for no matter what the performance,ask the embassy.theyre the experts 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
