Metro: The UK reported a daily record of 189,213 Covid cases today.
The 189,213 confirmed Covid-19 infections is the latest record to tumble after a fortnight of unprecedentedly high case totals – while deaths also rose dramatically, to 332.
However, those figures are likely to have been inflated somewhat because of delayed reporting over the festive period – and particularly by a backlog of hospital deaths reported by NHS England from December 24-29.
Yet the latest data shows that in the last seven days alone, some 984,147 people have tested positive in the UK.
And what is the government's response? Any kind of lockdown or restrictions? Oh no... (the below is a parody account, but alas, it speaks the truth.)
I don't even know anymore...
Have a bunch of random stuff, under the cut to not take up all of your flists... All of it very vaguely Christmas themed.

BREAKING: If you're concerned about going into a crowded hospital this winter, you can rest assured that if the NHS collapses, the prime minister has a brilliant plan to put you in a tent in a car park and no, I am not joking this time x
