Overall, I'd say they definitely tell the tale of an improving situation and it's good to see that the very high infection rates in this country compared to the rest of the country are not being reflected in positions right at the top of the deaths by area figures. However, the analysis strikes me as a bit vague when it comes to the concerning infection rates which has Welsh regions dominating at the top end of the cases per 100,000 figures - my guess is that, while places like RCT and Merthyr have plenty of wide open spaces, the populations tend to be very tightly packed into rows and rows of small, terraced houses making spreading the virus so much easier.
I think you’re being kind Bob.

I’ve traveled Merthyr & RCT in relation to work and for the last month been constantly surprised how little responsibility some have practiced in relation to social distancing. I visited a block of flats Monday located near a town centre where the residents had had a party. I realise my observations are anecdotal but can’t help wondering if a lack of common sense or total disregard for anything isn’t keeping our infection rates higher than other areas.

None of the persons I work with (vulnerable group) have adhered to any social distancing or lockdown restrictions.
