From BBC Scotland in the last hour or so:
The ONS Covid infection survey estimates an average of 107,300 people were infected on any given day in the week up to 24 October – that’s about one in 50 people.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-53511877
In a long piece there’s no mention of the other nations.
The ONS has it:
- 2.43% in England (1 in 40 people)
- 2.38% in Wales (1 in 40 people)
- 2.17% in Northern Ireland (1 in 45 people)
- 2.04% in Scotland (1 in 50 people)
Scotland has the lowest Covid infection rate in the UK but it’s clearly not in the public interest to know, unlike those times when we don’t have the lowest or when it’s climbing:

Remember, the difference between 1 in 40 and 1 in 50 is not just a wee 10 as some journalists seem to think but tens of thousands not infected in Scotland or hundreds of thousands in England.

STV reported this fairly positively.

This is good but figures are nearly 2 weeks old. Let’s hope the trend continues.
