The UK has Covid-19 hotspots again – but who has been catching the JN.1 variant?
Rampant again: the Covid-19 virus is once again on the loose across the UK – apparently because of ‘festive socialising’. But who could afford to contract the disease by raving it up in a UK where only the super-rich have money to spare?
How many people in the UK have died of the JN.1 variant of Covid-19?
The article referenced below says 10,000 people across the world died of it in December 2023, but that is not useful to those of us who want to follow national trends.
Apparently no information on UK deaths is publicly available.
Instead we get this:
Two regions of the UK have seen cases of Covid shoot up over the past week, making them the leading hotspots for the virus.
The South East topped the table with 1,237 new cases over the past seven days, which equates to 13.4 people per 100,000 of the population. London trailed a close second with 1,032 new infections. The region to have avoided the worst of the cases is the North East, which only registered 194 over the past week.
Experts fear that JN.1, which is thought to have rocketed in numbers due to festive socialising, could reach record levels in the UK in a matter of weeks if cases continue to rise.
This Writer would also like to see a demographic breakdown of which social groups contracted the disease due to “festive socialising”.
Here in Mid Wales, the pubs were practically empty for most of the Christmas and New Year period because people didn’t have the money to spend after coughing up for presents and groceries and covering the normal day-to-day cost of living that has skyrocketed under the Tories.
I’m willing to bet that the new generation of sufferers are the richest people in society who could afford to go out. The evidence that the South East and London are the current Covid hotspots tends to support this.
If they are now spreading it to the rest of us, it will be because they are too stupid to realise they need to isolate themselves until they are better.
So much for private education, eh?
