A day passed that made sure we weren’t sure. In a previous press conference, Boris Johnson said that Covid is now nearly 80 percent larger than the first peak in April at Covid Patient Hospital. The latest 24-hour figures show that another 1,401 people have been killed, with the official UK number at 95,981.
