Apologies if there is thread about this already.
So the number of new cases is rising rapidly, I get that.
But if you look at the number of total deaths is flat as a pancake.
As far as I know, hospitals are doing OK, no inminent risk of overwhelming the NHS, and a big proportion of the affected cases are relatively mild or even asympomatic.
Again, I know health workers in Spain and France who were up to their noses in April but are absolutely fine now, even though they are a couple of weeks ahead and their 'numbers' are rocket high now too.
I must be missing something because I really do not understand why the panic about 'the new cases', surely the important figures are hospital admissions and mortality?
