Britain’s Daily Covid Cases Fall to a Five-Week Low

by Toby Young
2 August 2021 5:04 PM

The number of new daily Covid cases in the U.K. fell to 21,952 today, the lowest it’s been in five weeks. Meanwhile, deaths are up slightly compared to last Monday and hospitalisations are down. MailOnline has more.

Covid cases are lower today than they have been since June 29th, according to the official figures released today.

But the number of virus tests conducted also fell to their lowest levels since June 26, suggesting there are cases that have not been picked up.

The new figures follow data published on Friday, which suggested cases are still on the rise and as many as one in 65 people in England are currently infected.

Some experts think fewer people are coming forward for Covid tests to avoid isolation.

The figures also signal a slow in the week-on-week drop in infections, with cases dropping by 12% on seven days earlier.

Last Monday, cases had dropped by 37.5% compared to the previous week.

Meanwhile, there were just 24 deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid tests were recorded, down from 65 yesterday, but an increase of 71.4% compared to last Monday.

Covid death figures released on Monday often lag, due to a delay in recording deaths over the weekend.

Updated hospitalisation figures for last Tuesday show a further 911 patients were admitted to hospital who tested positive for the virus, a drop of 1.6% compared to one week earlier.

Worth reading in full.

Very important interview with Dr Bryan Ardis and Reiner Fuellmich regarding Remdesivir and also shedding among other very important topics – shedding which he is sure is real. Shedding/transmission is happening and the unvaccinated are at risk of autoimmune disease from it, like LUPUS. This is insane and we are being attacked. These are like WAR CRIMES.

Remdesivir still used in the NHS:

Remdesvir doesn’t work, often kills those given it, and is very expensive. But still the NHS is spending shedloads of our money on it. It makes as much sense as everything else that’s got the Covid shyster label.

They will say it proves the vaccine works, but by the time “cases” rise again everyone will have forgotten that.

So Texas, Florida, South Dakota and Sweden etc they were all right and we were completely wrong.

Meanwhile places like Australia and New Zealand still think they can achieve ‘zero covid’ by locking everyone up 24/7 China-style and are sliding further into totalitarianism as a consequence.

Madness.

the incompetence excuse may fool some but there is just too much coordinated ‘incompetence’ for it to be incompetence

Of course there is, this has never been about a virus. Our squalid politicians, barring regrettably few exceptions, have sold us down the river to the global elite. This is all just air cover for the climate change and digital id agenda.

The real madness is that the same would-be sages who predicted 100.000 daily “cases” and thousands of hospitalizations as inevitable by now less than a fortnight ago if restrictions were really lifted are still happily predicting away in order to advise Boris Spinelesson on future government policy.

In government, nothing succeeds like persistent failure and may the collaterally damaged perish by the thousands.

The special virus is disappearing. Pretty much everyone who is going to have a vaccine has had it.

Time to end the shit show? Of course not: now they are rolling out a third “booster” jab. Even if we were to achieve the fabled “zero covid” we would be told we must have more jabs and keep wearing magic masks to stop it coming back.

The beast is insatiable.

So testing goes down and it is automatically assumed that it means they are “missing” cases. How about assumimg that more people no longer see the need to go on medical fishing trips.

It might just be that the UK ‘wave’ began earlier that the others so will probably finish before the others.

France is following the same curve albeit at a slightly lower level. Now they have stopped bleating about ‘cases/deaths’ and its all hopital beds. Anything to keep the psyops alive.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens in Sweden, Czechia & Slovakia. Sweden for obvious reasons but the other 2 because they’re using Ivermectin though I think CZ are only using it for hospitalised patients. According to Worldometers, Slovakia reported just 6 CASES to-day.

India already tells the story. Start vaccinations, the number of ‘cases’ soars. Stop vaccinations and use Ivermectin, it falls like a stone.

Well duh, who’d have thunk it.
Hope the tax payers aren’t funding these brainless wonders.

Why does the Mail report that “as many as one in 65 people in England are currently infected”, when the official websites show around 280 per 100,000. Isn’t that around .3 people out of every 100?

Data is meaningless if PCR CT values unknown and in absence of clinical diagnosis.

A bit surprised not to see any mention of the Imperial College survey that found no trace of Covid at any of our mainline train stations supporting earlier less publicised research on the subject. This is important because fear of Covid is being weaponised by some to keep the panicdemic going indefinitely. To offer just one example, TfL’s dial a ride service for elderly and disabled people. These buses have all but vanished from the street. It is likely that the service will never return to previous levels whatever the Government says about it.
