Britain’s Daily Covid Cases Drop Week-on-Week for Fifth Day in a Row

by Toby Young
4 October 2021 6:56 PM

Covid cases in the U.K. have dropped for a fifth day in a row, official figures revealed today. MailOnline has more.

Another 35,077 positive tests were recorded across Britain, down 7.6% on last Monday.

The decline follows nearly two weeks of rising infections, fuelled by millions of pupils returning to classrooms last month.

Meanwhile, 33 deaths were registered among people who tested positive for the virus in the last 28 days. It marks a week-on-week drop of 17.5%. No Covid hospitalisation figures were provided for the U.K. as a whole – but that trend has also been falling.

The fatality figure lags several weeks behind infections because of how long it can take for infected patients to become seriously ill.

However, the Department of Health warned it did not receive all of the death data for England, which will have a “small impact” on the number of fatalities reported today.

Worth reading in full.

Note: An earlier version of this story wrongly attributed a prediction of 50,000 cases a day by mid-October to Sir Patrick Vallance.

Interesting that a lot of the errors concern the effect of “covid” on children. What could possibly be the motives for doing such a thing? To get to the parents through fear for their children, but primarily to establish “covid vaccination” as a thing for children and to get “covid vaccines” onto the childhood vaccination schedule so they can be mandated and if memory serves this also confers immunity from liability.

And that’s just the U.S! It’d be interesting to see a comparison paper looking at the UK, for instance, or any other country, come to that, because my money’s on any country that imposed draconian and abusive restrictions on their populations having a similar outcome to the above CDC data. As it was all based on lies and propaganda then similar findings from other countries would be entirely predictable. And what can we reasonably expect the consequences of such findings to be? A bit like the massive harms the injections are doing, sweet FA guaranteed.

Then the CDC is following the ‘science’?

Very few of them seem to be genuine errors, if any.
In particular the many ones concerning children look agenda driven.
Trust in authority is completely misplaced since 2020 the latest.

I have started out as believing in the lab leak theory.
I have irritatingly but fully convinced stated since quite a while now that the virus was either man-made and set free deliberately, or that it doesn’t exist, favoring the former.
I cannot judge whether this or any virus was, can or cannot be isolated and whether that is relevant at all, nor apparently can anyone else though they do.
But I can add up what is happening around it as per Mike Yeadon’s or James Delingpole’s most recent very convincing articles on that issue at TCW and as per this excellent one today at the off guardian, and am now favoring the latter conclusion.

Thanks for that second link. Very useful. Also good to send to the blue-pilled as everything stated is backed up with many links to references. Well it’s worth a try anyway…from a single seed of doubt planted a fully-fledged sceptic will flourish somewhere. 🙂

Thank you for the Off Guardian link. It’s a brilliant summary of all the deception that has taken place. Forgive my naivety but I guess, ‘Off Guardian’ has nothing to do with the Grauniad?

“Exaggerated” is far too polite. They lied.

Say it how it is.
