Covid-19 is already the most worrying disease on the entire planet, there is no way to disagree with that, even if you believe in theories Trumpians of the conspiracy that claims the virus is a communist hoax of Chinese origin.
But in fact, it has already become the biggest concern of the most developed countries in the world, and in the United Kingdom the situation is increasingly complicated, especially after the statement by the leaders of the European Union.
Shall we move on to the updates? Currently, UK has the second-highest official death toll from the coronavirus pandemic in Europe, according to new data released last Monday (4). The figures include deaths in all locations, including nursing homes.
Coronavirus has killed more people in the UK in months than in a year.
According to the UK's official report, nearly 30,000 people across the UK have died after being diagnosed with COVID-19, according to the Public Health Service in England. This means the country has had more COVID-19 deaths than France and Spain have reported.
Yvonne Doyle, the UK's chief medical officer of public health, said in a statement to the British press: "This more complete data will give us a fuller and more up-to-date picture of deaths in England and will influence the government's approach as we continue to protect the public."
EU says UK has not yet reached peak of Covid-19
The head of the European Union's disease control agency made a controversial statement on Monday: The United Kingdom (UK) is one of five European countries that has not yet reached the peak of the coronavirus outbreak, contradicting the British government's claims.
According to the official bulletin, as of today, the United Kingdom had recorded nearly 190,000 cases of coronavirus and 28,500 deaths. In Europe, only Italy has more deaths from COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus.
Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of England, who returned to work last week after recovering from Covid-19, said the United Kingdom has passed the peak of the disease and is now on the downward curve.
However, Andrea Ammon, director of the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC), told European parliamentarians that Bulgaria was still seeing an increase in the number of cases, while the UK, Poland, Romania and Sweden had seen “no significant change in the last 14 days”.
For all other European countries, there was a decline in cases, she said. "As of Saturday, it appears that the initial wave of transmission (in Europe) has passed its peak," she told lawmakers in a video conference.
So, who is correct in this statement? We don't know for sure; all we can do is wait for the official statement from the world's largest health organization: the WHO.
