Firstly, Scotland just updated all of its infection figures to include reinfections, which means that the graph on TravellingTabby for "Cases by Specimen Date", which shows new cases in a different colour is currently showing all reinfections in an obvious way:
And it's basically showing near-zero reinfections before Omicron came along, and then a 9% increase in infections from that point onwards.
And then there's the other thing. Which is a bit more worrying. About 2 weeks ago, the number of people in Scottish hospitals with Covid started to go back up:
And I'm not at all sure why. The number of people catching Covid hasn't changed. The English hospital numbers are down 20% in that time. So what's happening in Scotland?
Also, why have Scottish case counts flatlined when Welsh and English case counts have kept dropping?
