Letters / Alarming trend

The Covid infection numbers that you have published in the last couple of days are terrifying.

More Covid cases as local rate now more than double national average

Somehow we have gone from being the least-infected, safest, council in Scotland to the worst, with double the average level of infections in the country. Has someone declared a herd immunity strategy without telling us?

We urgently need analysis of this alarming trend.
