England recorded zero Covid deaths for the fifth time since the Government started collecting figures on Monday. Zero deaths were also recorded in Wales and Northern Ireland, with just one person having died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid in Scotland. Sky News has more.
The one U.K. death is less than the six confirmed yesterday and the three last Monday – while the number of positive cases is up from 3,240 and 2,439 respectively…
Another 120,243 people have had their first dose of a Covid vaccine, taking the total to 39,379,411. And Sunday saw 204,282 second jabs administered, meaning 25,537,133 people have had both shots.
Also today, England’s biggest vaccination centre offered Covid vaccines to anyone over the age of 18, despite the minimum age for eligibility currently being 30.
Thousands of people have already been vaccinated at the centre at Twickenham Stadium in west London.
Government guidelines say only people over the age of 30 are eligible for the jab but medics offered it to all adults in an effort to ensure nothing is wasted.
Worth reading in full.
Stop Press: Given this, why must we wait three more weeks (if not longer) for lockdown to finally comes to an end, asks Sacha Lord.
Stop Press 2: Despite this positive news, ITV News decides to lead its coverage of Monday’s figures with: “Concerns over Indian variant grow.”

They’ll say that you can’t die on a bank holiday (as it was yesterday). Wait for the ONS weekly reports in two weeks time – they always use that rationale to explain why the numbers look low cf the 5 year average etc. After all, 31/5 is the latest possible bank holiday in Spring. That’ll happen whatever the real causes of death; loads of certificates ‘in the queue’, perhaps. Then it’ll look spiky in the following week.
What’s that nonsense bar chart about?
Interestingly every headline I’ve seen today has been about “advisors urge delay to reopening”. It’s all I’ve seen.
You know what’s coming………
“Government guidelines say only people over the age of 30 are eligible for the jab but medics offered it to all adults in an effort to ensure nothing is wasted.” ….
… except lives
And countless billions of pounds, businesses that have been built up over many years, Young people’s educations and futures, culture and countless travel opportunities but hey hoe.
But the bbc news at 10 is full of doom and gloom about a third wave, the Indian variant, scientists demanding final lockdown restrictions are not lifted etc etc etc
Because the Beeb is right at the front of the queue of mouthpieces for this utter sham. ‘Kin b*stards.
This is terrifying news. If someone dies tomorrow we have the signature exponential death curve. The rate of change of deaths means that afer 23 days 93 million brits will be dead.
The plan is not to return to normal, it is for continuation of loss of liberties and enforced restrictions.
There will be many days of zero scamdemic deaths as we approach summertime which presents the demise of the seasonal corona viruses.
As a B/H weekend deaths don’t get recorded. However, on Tuesday the MSM will be screaming 100% increase in covid deaths, whist forgetting to mention this includes an extra day.
Wales?
Wales doesnt report anything today – its a bank holiday.
So its not reported 0 deaths at all, its reported nothing and Wednesday will have the figures applied.
“England recorded zero Covid deaths for the fifth time since the Government started collecting figures on Monday.”
I think you mean “On Monday, England recorded zero Covid deaths for the fifth time since the Government started collecting figures”
But it’s still Monday here in Northamptonshire, so are you talking about last Monday, the 24th?
Exactly. Piss poor grammar.
First Vaxopropaganda twists your mind and then it twists your syntax.
Bit harsh, we’re not here for perfect grammar and we’re not paying for it. Fair enough if it was the Telegraph or something.
So i shouldn’t ever of made any effort to write english good because it doesnt effect my pay packet?
That’s a blow. Possibly a glitch in the reporting system.
Better rustle up some variants sharpish. What about the Bolton / Indian because India and the corrupt WHO have said the Indian doesn’t exist.
Come to think of it C1984 hasn’t been isolated has it?
I knew something was wrong .i saw that picture of lots of people in masks looking concerned somewhere in the world at some time or other .So believable isnt it ?????????????????????????.A bit like the photo of the Indian lady on her phone during the recent Covid crisis .Pictures say more than worsd or something
It is transmitted by moonbeams too.
Surprised they haven’t got Russia in on the act…how about a Siberian Tiger variant (so called because – we can think up something later…)
I think a ‘Vietnamese’ variant might be next on the menu.
Caught it on the World Service yesterday.
And fudge some more figures, there must be a way that the many people who have died in car accidents, falling off ladders, heart attacks cancer etc can be put down as Covid deaths.
No deaths?
Time to lockdown until next summer…… just in case
Lockdown forever is, it seems, the plan.
Lockdown glorious lockdown. Be thankful to your overlords for introducing wonderous lockdown to you, the best thing to ever have happened!
