On the other hand the govts of both France and Spain still haven't as yet opted for second nationwide lockdowns, despite cases in both countries still being far higher than the UK.

Strangely cases in England now seem to be either declining or at least levelling off, whilst cases in the other 3 UK nations are still on the increase and NI has the fastest increase today.

Quite ironic considering Scotland, Wales and NI previously all seemed to be far more on the case than England in managing the pandemic, though England, obviously being the largest and most populous of all 4 UK nations, still accounts for the lion's share of infections.

It was also mentioned on the BBC News website today that the latest ONS figures for Covid are a bit lower than those of the previous week, despite the time lag.
