UK: "Don't kill your grandma by catching the coronavirus and infecting her"
This also explains the recent low increase in deaths in
Great Britain
, as
Covid-19
is often milder and more symptom-free in younger people.
This shift in age is currently ensuring that hospitals are not overloaded, as the need for intensive care beds is lower.

Regional focuses are currently
Wales
, the north of
England
and the west of
Scotland
(Glasgow, East and West Dunbartonshire as well as Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire).
Most recently, the government had often explained the increasing number of infections with the high number of tests that are now being carried out.
Most recently it was more than 175,000 per day.
