I think demographics and population density play a part, along with our approach of not hospitalising until symptoms are quite severe. That’s because the goal of lockdown was to protect the NHS from being overloaded by limiting the rate of transmission, not actually stopping the virus spreading completely. But for all counties, the thing isn’t over. So while the half time score doesn’t look good, we need to wait until it’s all blown over to see what worked and what didn’t!
