Fair point, but then you also need to compare testing as a % of comparative population.

Greedy Football club owners are nothing like greedy PPE owners or Track and Trace developers, oh noooo, nothing like them at all.
We have to wait and see, but declarations of 'worst ever' figures doesn't help and makes people panic.
Oh of course.. Im of the thought that our first wave could have been worse than the January one as we had virtually no testing back then! I just dont like media panic headlines..
Difficult one, because same school of thought could suggest early death counts inflated as many were recorded without testing.

Just had my first jab. Got the letter yesterday and booked the first appointment I could get to get it over with. Astra Zeneca for me. Got to sit here for fifteen minutes now then on my bike to work. No problem.

COVID-19: Regular exercise may cut COVID-19 death risk by a third, major study finds
Thirty minutes a day, five days a week, or 150 minutes a week of exercise that gets you at least slightly out of breath is needed.
Quite an interesting article. I know its Sky News but it has good sources.

Personally I don’t think we need to wait and see, sadly I believe there is a lot of evidence (not just case numbers but positively rate, lack of testing, hospital bed occupancy, oxygen supply, inability of many to shield etc) that there is reason to have great concern about India at the moment.
Of course panic is unhelpful but so is denialism which leads to a delay in putting in mitigation measures. And whilst I agree headlines like the below are too sensationalist the situation they describe is very worrying, reminiscent of say New York early last year.
‘The system has collapsed’: India’s descent into Covid hell
Many falsely believed that the country had defeated Covid. Now hospitals are running out of oxygen and bodies are stacking up in morgues
Flights to and from India should be banned completely.. Plus other countries that are having trends of rising figures. But then, we should have done that in April 2020...Personally I don’t think we need to wait and see, sadly I believe there is a lot of evidence (not just case numbers but positively rate, lack of testing, hospital bed occupancy, oxygen supply, inability of many to shield etc) that there is reason to have great concern about India at the moment.

I’m sure they haven’t been successful on everything but ”If in doubt do what New Zealand do” has been a pretty decent path to follow on COVID
Explained: After New Zealand, will other countries ban travellers from India?
It's not just New Zealand that has seen a rise in cases because of passengers arriving from India. Several other countries have reported many Covid-19 passengers arriving in flights that originated in India.
