Well because people are being tested more now than they were last year. The
true level of infection back then was unknown as it had not been appreciated
how many people were infectious but did not show many symptoms at all.

I am often being told on radio and TV that the number of Covid related
deaths and IIRC hospital admissions is reducing. But no one mentions that
the daily number of people tested positive for Covid is leveling off at
higher level than last April.

Why might this be?
