We don't know, and it doesn't help to pick those speculations which suit your wishes.
Yes we do know. At its peak over a thousand people a day were dying in the U.K. These days it’s around 200, as per the official statistics for
recording the deaths, many of which would’ve happened weeks ago. Add to that the average time from infection to death (around three weeks). So many of the 200 or so people dying today, which is already over 80% down from it’s peak, would’ve been infected over four weeks ago.
If you really believe more people are being infected today than on the 23rd March, I highly suggest turning off the TV, especially when your doom-monger in chief Nicola Sturgeon is blowing hot air.
