Covid-19: Nearly 100,000 catching virus every day in England
The study, by Imperial College London, says the pace of the epidemic is accelerating and estimates the number of people infected is now doubling every nine days.
The React-1 study is highly influential because it is the most up-to-date assessment of Covid-19 in the country, with the last swabs taken only on Sunday and nearly 86,000 volunteers taking part.
It shows cases are rising in every age group and in every region of England.
While cases are currently highest in the North, infections are surging more rapidly in the South.
The study compared the latest swabs collected between 16 and 25 October with the last round of swabs, between 18 September and 5 October.
I thought this was an interesting graph in the Grauniad about the situation as a second wave unfolds in Europe. Doesn’t look too good for Europe as a whole, lockdowns coming I would say.

I,m sorry to say this but in my opinion it will be years and will cost of millions of lives before this virus is brought under control and even then it will never, never be completely eradicated.
We must face the fact. It is here to stay.

A video taken around the country in the last eight days of covid centres totally empty, and staff extremely reluctant to be filmed or answer any questions.
It is being reported here that Clown Prince Boris will announce the lockdown of England next week as he is forced to take the advice of scientists. Has anything been mentioned there?
