UK Covid death toll

[Derek Hardballs]

Is it because we are testing far more that we are finding so many? I had a test last week despite no symptoms or suspicion,  (just to be sure before visiting someone). Meanwhile I have mates isolating ( having tested negative) because someone they played golf with somebody that had a positive at work, asymptomatic.

Are we testing more than Germany, France etc and by a margin that would see increases that big? Also Germany and the rest of the EU are catching us up rapidly with vaccines and Germany may already be ahead of us. I think people are kidding themselves if they think we will be in a better position than the rest of Europe by the winter.
