Cases up, deaths down in the UK
This is a repeated pattern. So, why is this the case?
A few reasons being touted
1. Higher demographic of young people getting infected and they are less likely to need hospitalisation.
2. The virus is less 'potent' (little evidence of this)
3. Lagging time from infection to hospitilisation (normally takes 1-2 weeks)
4. Less older people being infected.
At any rate here is a piece from the New Statesmen on the phenomena.
