I wonder what that is in percentage terms.
The population of Blackburn is 117 thousand, in Burnley it is 87 thousand, Accrington has 81 thousand, Darwen has 31 thousand.....but 58 cases is seen as a spike.
They are having a laugh at our expense.

I mistakenly thought that Pendle was included in the Burnley figures..but that is incorrect.
Pendle has a population of 91K inhabitants.
It recored 20 extra cases bringing the total recorded cases to 644(out of 91K)
Blackburn with Darwen recorded 14 extra cases(though Darwen actually had none - out of a population of 148K)
Burnley recorded 4...the Ribble valley 3...Accrington recorded 5.
These figures are from the 5th of August.
Across the UK the figures went up by 950....again the percentage figures for this rise are very very low...and yet we are being told that this is a second wave...we are being duped....but are failing to see this.
