The recorded number of daily coronavirus cases in the UK rose by 6,178 on Wednesday - up from 4,926 yesterday, while there were a further 37 deaths within 28 days of a positive test.
The government has defended their latest coronavirus measures as "balanced, targeted and proportionate" amid criticism from some scientists and business leaders. A 22:00 closing time for hospitality venues and bigger fines for rule breakers are among the new restrictions. But Prof John Edmunds, who advises the government, said they did not go "anywhere near far enough".
UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak has promised to update MPs on Thursday on the government's plans to "continue protecting jobs through the winter". With new coronavirus measures in England set to hit some sectors of the economy hard, the government is under increasing pressure to set out a replacement for its job retention scheme.

yes it is madness.. firstly i doubt they have actually tested 100k ,it been rounded up..
and secondly , those they have tested { which is what they have based this per 100k on } are not random. they are mostly people who are either showing symptoms or feel they have been in contact with someone positive..
to arrive at a more accurate figure { which clearly is being avoided like the plague } you have to randomly test.. not weigh the result...

7 months and not one dissenting voice amongst leading politicians. 7 months and not one awkward question. 7 months and not a single acknowledgement of the huge toll in mental health, missed cancer [etc] testing, treatment. Politicians - and in these times leading Health spokespeople as well - should always be held to account. We're having an unpleasant glimpse of what life is like without Democracy..
