The winter will test the hospital admissions theory.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/uk/
As of 4 June 2021
Recorded Total Cases (UK) 4,506,016
Recorded Active Cases 107,633
7-day Moving Average Cases 4,147
3-day Moving Average Cases 5,280
Latest Recorded Daily Cases: 6,238
June 4 2020 Recorded Daily Cases: 1633
So we could be looking at 150,000-180,000 recorded new cases over the next 4 weeks (unless BJ and Soapy pull something out of the hat).

Perhaps the few days before they were aware they had it would be the danger time for others to catch it, and I bet a lot of people would still get on with their lives (going to work and shopping) despite suffering symptoms...

Could that be because we are taking better care of the older people, or because those who were vulnerable have sadly passed away Annie?
