Cases in Scotland with mask laws and Hugh adherence seem higher than in England which doesn’t have laws and has low adherence.

Be interesting if anyone has done a proper comparison between say Glasgow and Manchester.

I think I’ve heard that before, but how is it higher? From the usual dashboards Scotland has 130 cases per million, while England is at 150/million. The number of cases right now is also stable while the UK overall is going up?

I last checked a couple of weeks ago when Scotland was on 370/100k and England on 350/100k, seemed to have flipped back the other way now

it's hard to compare cases without knowing how many tests were done and how they are administered.

And where in a particular wave a given place is. And what the seroprevalence and other demographic factors are between the two populations.
