Shocking news : the virus doesn’t spread equally as fast simultaneously everywhere in the world.
What about deaths and hospitalizations? That’s really what matters here
Oh, it’s this fucking article again.
>Mask-wearing and social distancing and other measures are no longer required by law in Britain.
Covid regulations are a devolved matter and as far as I’m aware, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all still require masks to be worn indoors and or on public transport. It might well be different here in England but England is not Britain CNN.
If they can’t get something this simple correct, I’m not sure how much of the rest of the article I’d trust.
I saw a report that basically showed it was almost entire due to under 19s i.e school kids who went back to school in September.
Hospitalisations still low thankfully but need to vax those kids and tell antivax to stfu
This misinformation keeps propagating all around Reddit. UK’s high case numbers in relation to other EU countries is directly linked to them having the most efficient testing system in the world. They are testing like maniacs over there so of course their case numbers are high. There is a lot of European countries, especially the Southern ones that rely on tourism that purposefully diluted their testing capacity to avoid the UK putting them on the red list given how their economies relied on tourism. I don’t think the UK cares much, they are honest about what they are doing.
I think we also test more than those countries combined..
We need to wind our testing down.
1) It’s costing a fuckton of money, and becoming kinda pointless anyway.
2) Countries will just start penalising us for finding more cases, but blocking us off from visiting.
United Queendom = bad upvotes to the left
Hope the COP26 attendees take their precautions.
It’s coming!!!!
This mass testing should have been stopped in autumn 2020 when it was clear that asymptomatic spread wasn’t extraordinary. Especially when the media used this unstandardized data as representation for real infection occurences.
This situation has gotten its own life.
so what. who gives a shit
Don’t give a fuck and neither do most people. We got vaccinated and now we are back to normality. If we dont open now, then when? Gotta get over it now.
keep yer mask on mates
Herd immunity
Thank god those brits can no longer travel into the EU unrestricted…
They would start to infect others.
And now they cant steal our Jobs….
wait “our Lorry-drivers” is what i ment to say!
Yeah because we test more than all those countries combined.
Ofcpurse we will find more, because we ate looking for them.
Unlike most EUember states hardly testing at all…
maybe its because of these immigrant truck drivers!! oh, wait… right.
We should never care about total numbers, only percentage.
At this point who fucking cares. If you didn’t get the vaccine and get sick, not my problem. I’m not putting life on hold indefinitely for this crap.
We’re also going to get higher taxes next week! Aren’t we lucky…

Brits are definitely not on the podium of european top powers anymore
For UK people, how is the situation seen from there? edit: thanks for the answers
It’s also true that the UK is doing much more tests than the other four countries:
UK about 14 per 1000 inhabitants
France 7 per 1000
Italy 6 per 1000
Germany and Spain less than 2 per 1000 inhabitants
