No its far worse....the UK daily infection rate is currently 8,000
Not sure where you got that from? DM? sky news? The UK has been hovering around 1500-2000 new infections a day and is on a huge decline like most other countries that have had their peak, 1st June was the lowest since around 23rd march. We all know them figures are not very accurate because its based on a tiny percentage anyway, however its still valid as a general guide of increases and decreases. We all know there is very good research that puts the UK total cases at 17-19 million infections since the start, at the start of April NHS England estimated at least 1 Million people in London had already contracted it, and world figures around the 220-250 million mark

This thing is as contagious as a common cold and we did nothing for months you really think its only hit 6.5 million people?

We should be protecting the vulnerable and shielding them as best as possible while the fit and healthy get to work before we all end up in poverty
