I'm pretty sure that you are allowed to ask questions, if you haven't noticed its a discussion forum.

Questions yes, but no banter
There evidence doesn’t really back up that we are testing more and getting more cases for that reason alone. The reasons for getting a test (having symptoms) haven’t substantially changed in the last 2-3 weeks.
We are back to Pierre’s favourite question however of will this increase in cases flow through to hospitalisations/deaths. That said, with increased spread in schools it will not have exactly the same impact on those two figures, although concerns over multi-generational mixing at Christmas will have a lot of people holding their breaths for the next 3-6 weeks.
