As another forum member has said - new cases have been creeping up for a while but deaths are still low.
My own opinion is that many deaths now are people who are very old and are deteriorating anyway, people who are extremely ill and already have a multitude of other illnesses.
The flu epidemic generally makes thousands of people unwell every year and sadly a small proportion don't survive but we don't have the same restrictions in place for flu that we have with covid.
The government's original agenda was to protect the health service which is good, but even if we saw a tidal wave of new cases, the NHS would still adequately manage with most people reverting to self isolation in their own homes.
I do think the issues of the economy, unemployment and mental health overtake the actual virus itself now and the government should act to bin off social distancing completely and try to restore normality again like pre March.
The government should then focus on border control so virus cases are not brought in from abroad. Schools need to return to complete normality - all this nonsense of using face masks in school needs to be shelved as our children have suffered enough harm to their education.
