Infections falling, deaths still rising
Jan. 13th, 2021 02:50 pmFirst good news, it looks like number of infections in UK (and London) have JUST started to fall. If so (and it's very early to be sure), that's some evidence lockdown #3 is working. I was genuinely scared it wasn't enough.
And genuinely scared that if it wasn't enough, the government would continue to double down on blaming people for exercising outside while infections climbed, and done nothing to address the most likely causes of infection (businesses and public transport where people HAVE to be indoors, but the guidance on how to minimise risks is outdated and unhelpful).
On the downside, deaths are still rising. Looks like it's worse than the first wave and hospitals will continue to struggle 🙁
