So this indicates clearly the pandemic has not yet peaked in the UK and lifting restrictions will only make matter worse. If I was a UK resident I would not be worried about air passengers coming from France or Germany ...but those coming on domestic flights ..
You do have to be careful about "new case" figures because these are dependant on how much testing occurs in each country but you are right, the UK is in a worse state than France or Germany and we will end up with more fatalities than those other countries. Considering we in the UK had longer than others to react and prepare for this, our stats are nothing short of criminal.
