Very true, was something like 1 in 1,300 this time last year.In the absence of proper daily test figures, the rate of hospitalisation provides the best indication of the level of the virus and at the moment it is increasing. And the rates aren't 'so low' as implied by the OP. The latest ONS survey estimated that 1 in 70 had the virus in the week leading up to 1 June. That's not low.
