While the number of Covid cases increased slightly this week, the number of reported deaths fell by 86%. MailOnline has the story.
Coronavirus daily deaths tumbled by 86% from 14 to just two in a week while cases rose slightly by 6% in the same period as official figures show a third of U.K. adults are now fully vaccinated against Covid.
The latest Department for Health figures show that the number of daily virus cases rose from 1,671 to 1,770 on last Sunday while the number of Covid deaths plummeted in further evidence of the efficacy of vaccines.
Official figures also show that more than 17.6 million people have now received both jabs, with England and Northern Ireland both estimated to have given two doses to 33.6% of their adult population – slightly ahead of Wales (33.4%) and Scotland (33.1%)…
Meanwhile, 35,371,669 people in the U.K. have now received a first dose of vaccine – the equivalent of 67.2% of the adult population. Wales has given a first dose to 76.2% of its adult population, ahead of Northern Ireland (66.9%), England (66.8%) and Scotland (65.4%).
The Prime Minister should go much further tomorrow than simply announcing that hugging will be “allowed” from May 17th.

Death, death, death! A most unhealthy obsession!
I have amended the attached as follow:
Yes, it was all the fault of the English in Scotland, wasn’t it? I seem to remember stories about vigilantes wanting to set up road blocks on the border. Says it all? A nasty business.
As I have said before STOP TESTING and wasting the taxpayers money, especially as we all now know the lateral flow and pcr tests are dubious to say the least.
NOT worth reading in full it’s the usual pile of shite
I have just heard on Bloomberg that Fauci now states that Covid deaths have been vastly underreported, despite the CDC obviously already having established the opposite…..
When caught lying, double down on it- Plus ca change….
I’ve genetally been a reluctant “ supporter” of the BBC over the years.
but they have completely lost me now. Undisguised propaganda.
This was a Mail Online story. What has it got to do with the BBC?
Replied on wrong thread, apologies.
Stop posting these inane articles :
(1) The figures for ‘Covid deaths’ are meaningless at root
(2) They would be meaningless anyway, being daily samples involving such small numbers
We already know about the meaningful data on the trend and the current absence of ‘Covid’.
P.S. The ’28-days’ graph shown is utter nonsense , showing the January 2021 spike as bigger than the April 2020 one. That’s the reverse of the mortality and the reality.
“While the number of Covid cases increased slightly this week …”
Well it can’t go down can it, just bounce around the range of the false positives.
