Britain, despite high-intensity containment measures, will not slow the spread of Corona 19
Over 40,000 new confirmations a day… First after Corona 19
Reaching the limits of the medical system… Treatment of patients in an ambulance due to insufficient hospital beds
South Africa spreads mutant virus… Over 1 million cumulative confirmed cases
100,000 confirmed cases increase in 9 days… Hospital saturation
One of the biggest shopping malls in Europe, Westfield Shopping Center in London, England, is a holiday season but empty.
This is because the corona 19 mutation was closed due to the spread of the virus.
However, despite these high-intensity containment measures, the spread of Corona 19 in the UK has not subsided.
With the rapid increase in the number of infections, the number of new confirmed cases a day surpassed 40,000 for the first time after the corona crisis.
The medical system has also reached its limit with overflowing patients.
In some hospitals, ambulances are used to treat patients due to lack of beds.
I am concerned that the situation will worsen in January-February next year.

As the mutant virus spread rapidly in South Africa, the cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeded 1 million.
It increased by 100,000 in 9 days.
The hospital is already saturated.
Large hospitals are complaining of lack of medical staff, equipment, and beds.
