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.
What are your thoughts about why the death numbers haven’t started spiking similarly yet?
I'm not sure. I was puzzled by that too. However deaths might have started to increase a few days ago. If so, that might be in line with the typical times from symptom onset to death (a quick search suggests that's 17 days and the delay here is about the same).
The UK is not unitary. 9x more cases in England, which (like the US) does not have a clearly articulated strategy, different policies and earlier re-opening. While I'm a lot more optimistic about the UK, England is reopening pubs/gyms/tourism with R very close to 1.pic.twitter.com/XUAxvZIy8G
