I heard this week on the BBC (so it must be true) that about 1/4 of the UK population has had Covid. Presumably, if the lockdown and other measures had not been taken, most of us would have had it by now and the hospitalisation and death rates would have been 4 times as high.
Interestingly, there has not been a 'flu' outbreak this winter - possibly due to the lockdown.
What is undeniable at the moment is that we are doing very much better than Europe.
