I must have grown numb to the numbers, for I've only just noticed that the confirmed new cases of COVID per day in the US are now 100 times those of the UK (or 20 times, per capita), and diverging further day by day. We are now in very different worlds.
And it doesn't look like differences in testing could help explain it, as there are about 100 tests per case detected in the UK but only about 12 per case detected in the US. I'm really concerned for our neighbours across the Atlantic.
This makes me realise that two very different conversations about re-opening had been interleaved in my news streams and I treated them as one.
I've been thinking about this recently - slowly, even in the UK, the rest of the world is recovering. But all signs indicate that the US will have high infection rates for months to come. Will the global community end up effectively quarantining the world's largest economy?
Fortunately the US is large enough that autarky is significantly less disastrous here than elsewhere.
