Careful, someone will accuse you of bickering... Yes, an interesting read, had forgotten about all the cancelling of St Patricks Day festivities. Have noticed in the official number of cases that Cardiff has been soaring in recent days/weeks. I don't know if the testing criteria is different between NHS England and NHS Wales but Cardiff's proportion of official cases per head of population is higher than all but 3 London boroughs.
On that note, i see that Cumbria has continued to have a lot of positive cases, only 5 London boroughs ahead of it. I don't know if any reason has been given or specific event but it does seem a bit of an outlier. One thing i have noticed is that when reading cases from abroad they have sometimes linked outbreaks to specific events. Other than a link to a choir* that i read at some point i don't know if there have been links to individual events at all in this country.
*Have read a few stories where a choir meeting has caused an outbreak. I suppose that people come into close contact and singing in a choir involves taking deep breaths in close proximity to other people who are sending lots of germs out and there is a lot of recycling of air. I suppose such a situation occurs at a packed gig too.
