🌍How the UK’s coronavirus rate compares with the rest of the world amid lockdown easing - @tomjs

inews.co.uk/news/world/cov…
🔴Britain has the second-highest case rate in Europe
🔴This is the fourth-highest case rate in world
🔴Falling behind are only Fiji, Cyprus and the Seychelles
The UK reached 39,950 daily cases on Monday, according to figures from Our World in Data. 🇬🇧📈

Only Indonesia has a higher total case load, at 44,721, with Brazil just behind the UK on 34,126. 🇮🇩🇧🇷
Infections are soaring globally, but the effect of the vaccine rollout has meant that even as cases continue to climb, deaths remain low. 💉

When adjusting for population size, most countries in Europe are registering very few deaths at all.
Although the rise in UK cases has not translated into a similar rise in deaths, experts are concerned that there could still be an increase in hospitalisations that the NHS will struggle to cope with.

The possibility of new and more deadly variants also poses a threat.🦠
