Over 5000 new positive cases today in Scotland and apparently there is also a backlog at the testing labs. This is a record figure up here.
Can't help but think this is herd immunity in progress and as long as the hospitals dont get overwhelmed then we will continue on this road. Although I am sure every single hospital covid patient is ultimately denying space to another patient somewhere along the chain.
I currently know of 12 different people with Covid (not linked). Never since the outset have I ever known of more than 2 people at any one time to be positive.
It really does feel that there is a certain air of inevitability that we will all catch it. Having said that, one of the above 12 is a wife. Her husband is still working as has not tested positive or had any symptoms so it does seem, in some cases, to be totally random as to who catches it.
