“
A total of 5,021 new cases of the virus were reported on Wednesday, a record high for the second day running.

That was up from 4,323 in the previous 24 hours - although the rate of positive results being returned was down from 14.5% to 11%.

Tuesday's figure had led First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to warn that the country was at another "fragile and pivotal moment" in the pandemic.”

The figures have been ramping up for a while. Think it's only me that is concerned though.

I think it IS the schoolies, and it was expected to some extent ............ but schoolies have families, family members work and go shopping ................

Expecting much the same to happen here too.

This really makes me smile. NZ went into full lockdown last week, when 1 case of the Delta variant emerged, and Scotland is considering some restrictions with 5000+ cases in a day.
It hasn't stopped the spread here though, we are now up to 100+ cases. Gasp!!! Shock!!!! Horror!!!!

We keep having to relearn lessons supposedly already learnt. Spanish flu was two years, with the 2nd year being worse than the first. I fully expect this winter to be a doozy.
