    The map associated with that website is interesting - I wonder on what they have based their data - possibly on the results from their app alone?
    Looking at East Anglia, there appear to be hot-spots of infection around Gt Yarmouth (very much a deprived area) and Mildenhall (military bases with hospital facilities/onsite medical staff?), but nothing much around where we are (N Norfolk), Norwich, nor Cambridge (where a lot of the really serious cases are being sent to Addenbrookes/Papworth hospitals).
    Interestingly the fens (sparsely populated) are medium-high. (Sheila who was brought up there says it would likely be because they ignored social distancing as something invented in/for London and therefore ignorable!). I do wonder whether its an artifact of the stats though. (30 cases in a population of 1000 has a greater impact than 100 cases in a population of 5000.)
