Hi Brian
Thanks for your query, a fair one. My wife quoted it to me from an article on
the BBC a couple of days ago, but it must have been a local hotspot. I tend not
to refer to the BBC now, it’s somewhat compromised by the Government. I use the
Zoe website
https://covid.joinzoe.com/post/data-update-prevalence-covid
as I report daily using their app and get reports from King's College.
I’ll try and find that source.
