“Soaring”? Not at all. As I castigate the South China Morning Post:
The highest UK cases recently were on 23 March, 19 days ago! [correction: 21 March, 21 days ago]
They have since *plunged* by 50%, even as NPIs were kept relaxed. This goes against the narrative that relaxing = rising cases. Is that why you printed this tendentious nonsense from Associated Press?
Could not someone at SCMP have done easy check at Our World In Data, before publishing?

I write this not necessarily for publication, but to bring to the notice of your editors. Some would call this article “misinformation”!
