A town near me is going bonkers with Covid positive cases, Wokingham, Berkshire.
The coronavirus infection rate, that is, the number of people who have tested positive per 100,000, is the highest it has ever been in Wokingham.
The infection rates reached their peak in the area at 619.2 confirmed cases per 100,000 people.
I am not sure how they can say they reached their peak, those figures have been rising for weeks, I expect they will go even higher.
They are now doing surge testing in playing fields.
This is a very high income area, so it will not be poverty or overcrowding.
It is thought it is being generated in the schools. This country is becoming Plague Island.
I still really struggle to understand why we so much worse, than our near neighbours.
