Good article at the BBC explaining why recent rise in Covid-19 cases might not be as worrying as it first seems.
For once, they are not doom mongering. Although they don't mention that the daily deaths figure has been around 10 a day for the past month, that's less than one percent of all death. In April, there were 1,000 Covd-19 related deaths a day, which doubled the number of daily deaths. That was panic territory; ten a day isn't.

And even in April, anecdotally, a lot of those deaths were not caused by covid but died with it....
L, if daily deaths nearly double, it's safe to say that Covid-19 was the overall cause.
