That "if you test more, you find more" is so Trumpian... I use this for an accurate picture. It shows that the number of people with symptoms, not those in hospital, is increasing.

Number of cases doesn't tell us much if we don't know whether they are mild cases, or severe ones.

Don't really know what to think anymore. One day doom and gloom, one day hope, I think we just need to take it day by day.

I was heartened reading this too. The UK seems to be possibly getting on top of this, more so than say France where a lesser number of tests is showing a greater number of cases.

It did put rather a different spin on it - our lives are dominated by this black cloud of COVID-19 hanging over us all. We do have to be extremely careful still but we need hope too and to know that things may not necessarily be as bad as they seem.

This article from the BBC puts a different perspective on the UK's increasing new cases.
