COVID-19: Cases are rising but should we be concerned?

Our Data and Economics Editor Ed Conway looks at the amount of coronavirus cases across the UK - what do they tell us?

[marksolway]

Only thing that's concerned me for 15 months is the British government.

[MegaMasterkiller]

Literally not one person I know is still caring about this anymore, so I'd say the answer to that is no.

[lucaswolfe]

People have been unable to see a dying family member meanwhile that snake hancock was with another woman throuout I refuse to follow anymore social restrictions

[bigchungus]

If Hancock isn't concerned why should we? I'm done with this joke

[turbolevo]

Does Kay Burley have anything to say about Hancock’s covid rules breach? Is she going to doorstep him?…oh wait…

[gers]

Think we should just learn to live with it, even hancock cant even stick to the rules.

[elizabethbrown]

How many people has matt hancock n his aide been around during their undercover affair.

[negan]

I think it's time we just get on with it the restrictions have not worked even hancock is getting his leg over now

[Alex-dokr]

Why is Sky News not reporting on the massive London peace march from yesterday (Saturday)???!!🤔

[missGigi]

No one believe this bs anymore! TV off, life on

[SirBrian]

Well, it looks like Hancock is not concerned at all, so why should we be concerned?

[johnmalin]

Well done to the 100, 000 + who turned out to the anti lockdown demo, 👍

[kay-marie]

What concerns me is that we have to wear those bloody face nappies in stores, cafe's etc and lockdowns every 5 minutes since last March! We need to end this nonsense now! And I mean now!

[aarondavids]

I stopped caring a long time ago. I very much doubt people are still getting tested.

[Cockneyartist]

I think mayonnaise tastes better from a glass jar than a plastic bottle

[karlhulme]

Anyone in the MSM want to talk about the recent Covid deaths amongst the fully vaccinated compared to the non vaccinated? ....didn’t think so.

[alexzabala]

I haven't taken the jab....18 months Covid free so far.

[jediknight]

while everyone has suffered the rich list in the pandemic got a whole lot bigger, just like boris and his m8 handycok loads of money while they put the thumbs on us and take all our stuff away, isnt it time to give these criminals the boot.

[ibrstellar]

Sky News deserve an award for the best covid propaganda and give the bbc real competition.

[Jimmyredcab]

Cases mean nothing, deaths and hospitalisation is what we have to watch. I am sick of stupid charts.
