Content warning: covid in the UK - stats & map
Useful thread from @… with latest UK covid positivity results (from last week). Going up a bit - more noticeably in certain areas.
For context, "positivity rate" isn't "how many people have covid overall": it's "when we bothered actually doing tests, how many of the tests came back positive".
So for example if you test 30 people, and 3 of the tests came back positive, that's a "10% positivity rate".
Sometimes there are blank places on the map where, if there _was_ any testing that week, they didn't bother sending it in.
