Possibly.
That doesn't fill many with confidence when they report daily numbers though, considering even the tests have their limitations on accuracy.
If they are counting people with flu like symptoms that dont need hospitalisation as covid positive, then what does that mean for the stats on positive cases?
Let's hope your brother, and others like him, and now safe in the short and long term. My best friend now volunteers as a Marshall one day per week at a UK football stadium which has been turned into a massive vaccination hub, these are unpaid volunteers, just trying to do the right thing. Relying on the fact they've so far had a single jab to immunise themselves against the worst of COVID. All I can say for their sake and all of us, is that I hope the science works.
There is a difference of course, for us we are unlikely to know anyone who has perished from COVID, over there within his own social circle he knows of dozens, mostly elderly parents or grandparents!
