Interesting article in The Telegraph today about testing levels and percentage positives.
It makes it clear that they are not denying that cases are rising in Britain, but points out that our position in the 'European league tables' may be skewed.
It says the UK tests 14.25 per 1000 people, Germany 1.4 per 1000, France 3.84 per 1000, 1.98 in Spain, 2.3 in Switzerland, 2.21 in Sweden and 3.11 in Italy.
"According to the website Our World in Data, Britain is hovering around around 1% positivity, a touch better than France, Switzerland, Norway and Belgium, which are all a little over 1%. In contrast, Germany and Portugal are closer to 2%, while Sweden is around 3 % and the Netherlands roughly 7 per cent."
The article also says "The differences in how countries manage their epidemics and report data have made it virtually impossible to compare throughout the pandemic.
"For example, Britain has one of the worst death rates, yet the Office for National Statistics has consistently included people who died "with" the virus rather than from it, despite being warned not to by the World Health Organisation." (My bold)
