This VE day thing seems strange to me, it was not celebrated to any degree in my town as far as I know. I don't know of anyone who did celebrate to be honest. Also, I can't see any evidence of an increase in cases, perhaps I'm missing something. The 7 day average of new cases since the 15th May has continued on a descent as far as I can see, the 15th being the earliest you would expect an effect to manifest itself. Perhaps it's my useless maths, but the rolling 7 day average of confirmed new cases has fallen from the 15th ( 3,621 ) to the 7 day average reported yesterday of 2,311. Of course many cases are not reported as we all know.There definitely seems to be a spike in cases which appear to have been as a result of the VE day commemoration parties. Why on earth we had to try and celebrate something more than half the country had never heard of is beyond comprehension. Just an excuse for a glorified piss up, some of which got badly out of hand with increased admissions to A&E departments. Madness.
