Hi contributors, this from Professor Sir Andrew Pollard, who helped design the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine
“It is unfair to ‘bash’ Britain over its large Covid outbreak compared to Europe because it is testing up to ten times more people, an Oxford expert has said.
Official figures show the UK currently has the highest infection rate on the continent, except for a few countries in eastern Europe.”
So as most of had guessed, the U.K. is testing multiple cases more than our Western European partners, therefor we find many more mild cases of covid.
This is why many countries in Western Europe have a high number of people in serious condition but very, very, very few new daily cases are reported.
It is as we guessed, apples and oranges.
