Some of the increase is probably due to increased testing, but carelessness causes infections.

Really interesting now list the states where there were the most demonstrations Minnesota, New York, New Jersey, Washington DC, Illinois.... It would seem that those States where the people got out and rioted [cough] protested are showing *no* rise in infections or more cases found by testing - not necessarily the same. Indeed it may be the increased testing is what is causing the ' increase' in cases that would otherwise not have been noted.

www.cogconsortium.uk/Genetic analysis of CV in UK shows majority of varieties introduced late feb to march via Italy, Spain and France. Lockdown hindered introduction of new varieties.

Was this the same strain(s) that went on to New York? I remember research suggesting that the West Coast US strain came directly from China.

Don't know 🤷🏼♂️ I do know weeks ago Iceland did similar thing and could trace many of its cases to a football match in UK. It would be useful/interesting to see more info like this published.

Yes I had heard that the New York 'strain' was traceable back to Europe. The track seems to be that in December and January the Chinese 'fashion industry' workers in northern Italy were traveling back and forth to Wuhan. This led to infections in Milan and the skiing areas of Italy that were brought back to many areas of Europe but particularly London and South East UK. These European strains were the ones flown over to New York. It is probable that other strains got there first of course. At the same time the Chinese community in the USA were doing much the same traveling back and forth. Wuhan is not a major destination from the USA and it was sealed off from the rest of China quite early on so there were not so many infections on the West coast. The noted ones were in Washington State. However, it now looks like there were already some cases of COVID-19 in California before Christmas but just seen as 'bad flu'.

You're right. It's a hard choice.

Wear one that is comfortable, wash/change regularly. Infection appears to be lower then 1% of population now so risk is far lower then in March. Handwashing regular highly recommended. This practice will likely reduce amount of time suffering from colds/flu too so worth doing always, anyway.

The government health chiefs are now talking of 2nd and even 3rd waves of the virus, so it looks as though the lockdown will have to be indefinite, but think of the benefits, no more colds and flu, all diseases eliminated and the planet saved. Whats not to like?
