the figures are certainly declining in the UK and around the world.
but there are still concerns about a 3rd wave that will require testing.
"But we are already seeing echoes from the situation last summer.
The number of Covid patients in hospital plummeted to 700 or so, before an inexorable rise fuelled by an easing of restrictions and the spread of the variant first found in Kent.
Now it is the variant first discovered in India that is seeding itself across the country – and it is spreading fast, at a time when only 50 per cent of the population has received a second jab.
The Covid dashboard may be flashing ‘zero deaths’ today, but it is also flashing warning signals that there may be trouble ahead.
The number of Covid infections is always the first figure to rise. In previous waves, this has been followed by more hospitalisations – and then more deaths. It happens in this order, with weeks between the first signs of trouble, and a rise in fatalities."
"But with scientists warning of a third wave already, there are reasons to be seriously doubtful."
