I’m sorry, this sub isn’t the place for interesting UK-related science content like that.
Not sure where is actually…
It’s time for another lockdown. One last summer blast, ey?
1,517 cases
Doubles every fifteen days, so in two months we are projected to be looking at 24,112 cases, in three months over 100k..
Needless to say if it continues into the autumn it could be devastating.
I suspect it’s unlikely the trend would continue given the nature of the contagion, whilst it does seem to be aerosol through breathing there’s a question on the level of contagion via that route.
But it’s worrisome given the increased response performed by public health England in light of the recent Covid failures that they have been unable to isolate the spread, and possibly now it’s unachievable to contain it.
A high proportion of England cases were known to be London residents (75%, 963 of 1,289 with reported home address). For confirmed cases in the UK, where gender information was available, 1,460 (99.6%) confirmed cases were male, with 6 confirmed female cases. The median age of confirmed cases in the UK was 36 years (interquartile range 31 to 43).
My advice is, get used to pandemics and lockdowns. These are just going to happen more and more as climate breakdown progresses.
We’ve gotten lucky that the COVID and Monkeypox pandemics are so mild in comparison to the worst examples on the historical record.

How much longer will that remain the case?
