Despite the record numbers of reported infections in the U.K. and hospital admissions rising in the past few weeks (though up to half are incidental admissions being treated for something else), Covid ICU occupancy has barely budged since the summer, and even declined in the past two days. In London, total Covid hospital patients also declined in the past two days. This time last year, with a third of the infection rate (according to the ONS) Covid ICU occupancy nationally was three and a half times higher, at around 3,000 patients, rising to a peak of 4,000 two weeks later.
Whether due to greater population immunity, a milder strain, or better treatments, this is obviously very welcome. It is also confirmation that the pandemic is well and truly over – we are basically now expending vast resources tracking the spread of a cold – and it is time for the Government to acknowledge this fact, lift all restrictions, end all emergency powers, and bring the state of emergency to an end.

The pandemic has been ‘over’ for a lot longer than that!
Sort of makes you wonder if it ever began…..
You may wonder perhaps ,,,not me.
The first thing they did is to close borders, restrict travel, and imprison everyone.
Borders are still effectively closed for international travel.
‘Covid’ was never about ‘your health’ – it has always been about controlling people, and ripping them off at the same time.
Something I’ve been saying since 2020: How can we have a second wave when we never had a first one?
“Viruses don’t do waves” Dr Mike Yeadon ( former Pfizer Senior Executive and virologist ) on the announcement of ‘the second wave’.
I called it over in June 2020 when we had a large barbecue and party with friends. They all turned up, even against the rules at the time, all thinking it was over. The following month they introduced the mask rules, and now some of those same friends are too scared to go out.
Yes.. masks introduced on the 24th July 2020.. they love their numbers don’t they.. 24/7
Are they still friends?
Masking is inherently evil: It’s a so-called irrational safety behaviour, that is, a function-free ritual people engage in because they believe it keeps them safe from a grave danger they’d otherwise succumb to. The pro-mandate propaganda is an example of government intentionally creating anxiety disorder in the population. Make them sick in the name of public health!
To quote Berthold Brecht: Unfortunately, I can’t eat enough for all I’d like to throw up.
Excellent comment!
The “scam -pseudo pandemic” you mean?
Since the end of the so-called second wave, to be precise. That’s when mass testing of healthy people became possible due to sick people no longer needing the resources for that. But that’s not the idea of the WHO which just declared But people are dying from COVID! as if this was somehow a phenomenon – people dying from infectious diseases – hitherto unknown until 2020.
personally I don’t think there ever was a pandemic in that large numbers of people were not ill with CoViD19 but were positive for the presence of viral RNA.
The WHO ( prop B. Gates – major funder ) redefined the term ‘pandemic’ so they could call whatever they had schemed a ‘pandemic’ to scare the world and trigger the planned lock-step global response – same with the re-definition of what constituted a ‘vaccine’ to allow them to include an experimental ‘Gene Therapy’ product as a ‘vaccine’, which it is not and never was.
Much planning went into this ‘event’.
All this easily verified from reputable documented sources..
Truth is it never started.. a scam of mega proportions
There you haver it!
(See ‘Pseudo pandemic’ By Iain Davis)
Like …er…..it never started?
This article displays straightforward common sense.
The government, however, will not in the near future do anything remotely similar to declaring the pandemic over.
To this
I would add
which of course it won’t, as well as the reminder that one of the restrictions is the isolation requirement currently imposed on “unvaccinated” people – including British citizens – who entering or re-enter Britain from abroad.
In short, give us all our freedom back – whether we are numbskull willing spikees or mRNA-aware – and do it now.
Err… the ‘fully vaccinated’ are also require to pre-purchase a PCR test from one of Javid’s mates, for returning to the UK, at a vastly inflated cost, and also quarantine for 2 days.
The ‘unvaxxed’ have to buy 2 PCR tests from ‘Government approved’ companies, and quarantine themselves for 10 days, with Serco spying on them.
Freedom is not going to be given back. It must be obvious to all by now that the only way to get it back is to take it for yourselves.
Or you could always sign another on-line petition…..
But we no longer have an ordinary “British” Government- this one works to a different agenda drawn up and directed elsewhere.
How much have they been paid? By whom?
There’s no chance of declaring this plandemic over anytime soon. They’re making far too much money from it and besides, they’re too drunk on the power!
They won’t declare it over, that would end the EUA for all the clotshots, with millions of us still unspoilt and acting as a control group they daren’t let the true cost of the shots and lockdowns be seen. As long as we remain in an ’emergency’ they can keep hiding the facts.
We are in dangerous times now, they know their grip is slipping and will throw everything at maintaining control.
It is down to each individual, Men go mad in crowds , while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one. We are past max lies, where each subsequent lie is too blatant to work, and we are now passing through, max stupidity where the only people too dumb to know it’s over are those who thought they were in charge.
The trouble is, men haven’t gone mad enough to take down these villains.
So happy I never took one of these poisons. So very happy.
The problem with winning like this is there will be zero accountability and no reason to think they won’t just spin up all the lies as often as they like from here on out.
People are so bored of it I expect the passes and annual mask theatre is here to stay.
Push as far as you can then pull back just a tiny bit, wait and push some more.
Woah there, we haven’t finished destroying the financial system yet. Can’t rush these things.
Continue watching tik tok nurses and pan clapping. Baa…
And… it’s full of fatties!
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/01/07/intensive-care-doctor-tells-sajid-javid-refusing-covid-vaccine/
Mr James told the PA news agency he did not believe Covid-19 was causing “very significant problems” for young people, adding that his patients in the ICU had been “extremely overweight” with multiple other co-morbidities.
Dr Steve James needs to be the next Health Secretary.
and/or coke fiends (hence ‘slebs affected)…
Maybe that’s the solution, instead of talking about banning the unjabbed from hospitals we should be banning fatties!
Yes… they are much easier to spot too!
(Of course some of the Fatties might be un-jabbed as well)
The DT mis-represented his views ‘….told Sajid Javid why he did not believe in the Vaccine.’ Not true – he might well approve of it for the vulnerable. In opposing the mandate, he described the low risk from disease of young people and the fact that he had acquired strong natural immunity through his work. He could have added ‘medical ethics’, the fundamental basis of modern medicine, or the fact that the therapies patently do not currently greatly hinder transmission or viral load.
AS USUAL, MY COMMENT WAS BLOCKED AT SOURCE BY THE TELEGRAPH/ AGENTS OF THE GOVERNMENT. I am rarely able to post a comment, despite being a subscriber. The Telegraph denies that I am suspended from commenting, when I enquire.So – at least I can post my comment here. Anyone else have this problem?
Yes..DT have suspended many a poster or use ‘shadow banning’ technique. Of course, they will deny any such practice, Gates’ funding guarantees it. You should stop subscribing there and pos t here or other forums, which are free. I unsubscribed last summer and occasionally ‘look in’ at various articles, noting other familiar names have gone.
No chance with the Porker and his Consort ensconced in Downing Street!
Don’t be daft, all those people in the nudge unit, SAGEand Independent SAGE have families to feed, and some of them have freshly minted knighthoods to maintain. They can get another year out if it at least, we’ve only had 4 variants so far.
If covid was as ‘bad’ as Omicron variant at the start of 2020 then we’d not have had much of a response at all, we wouldn’t have developed obsessive testing, and the general population probably wouldn’t have noticed the pandemic passing through.
It wouldn’t have made any difference if the “weak” Omicron had been the first variant as everything had been put in place to blow it out of all proportion to herald a new era of compliance.
It was all planned.
‘Covid’ never was ‘bad’. It’s all been an elaborate set-up right from the start. Yes, people would have done testing and taken vaccines – because they do as told by The Government and the people on the telly.
Is there an election this year? No? Then, don’t expect this to go away; too many of our leaders (snigger) are in big pharma’s pocket to let this little money-fall dry up.
Big pharma’s pocket? More like the WEF and it’s members pockets.
Breaking News! Live from Downing Street @ 19.45 pm. The Prime Minister has announced that the Covid-19 Pandemic that has caused the country so much pain is over, from 09.30 am tomorrow the government will be ending all the laws and restrictions that the UK has had over the last two years.
Cloud cuckoo land, Cloud6… or do you have a source?
Or do you have some sauce…?
You’ve got a sauce.. disbelieving one our own.. 😉
LOL!
I’ve just emailed Toby with the news.. he got back immediately, delighted, said the Daily Sceptic will be taken offline at 9.30am tomorrow as a mark of respect for the prime minister..
More lies – same source.
Mortality rate shows there’s never been a killer pandemic, just lockdown deaths and Midazolam murder.
I’ll believe there is a pandemic when I see the awful sight of bodies in the streets and nightingale hospitals actually being used.
I keep posting this, but of course you are absolutely correct on all points. There’s never been a pandemic.. the whole things been a fraud..
I’m certainly no mathematician. I did, however, at one time fancy becoming a Professor of Mathematics, but I was told: “No, you’ve got the wrong skin tone, mate, and you don’t act woke enough”. I tried tanning and laying of the sleeping pills but was still told no.
If I had been allowed become a professor, below is the graph that would probably result from my investigations into COVID-19, gene serums, natural immunity and undertakers.
Wake up, you slipped up there. You could have just identified yourself as a professor.
Given the above article, how on the hell os is it that the NHS is claiming to be a breaking point?!
It would be though, wouldn’t if, if you have half the workforce sitting at home ‘isolating’ on the basis of a dodgy corona test, even though they haven’t got even a sniffle.
If I were a patient in hospital I can’t imagine how delighted and safe I’d feel that there was no doctor or nuses within a 50-mile radius so as to keep me safe from corona. The fact that there wasn’t one around to treat acute appendicitis or a blood clot or what have you is totally secondary – must avoid a patient catching a corona cold at all costs.
I would have thought that was obvious.. all the dance instructors are self isolating..
Smoke, mirrors and actors? ( and skiving staff – on ‘Covid sickies’?).
“Cripes!” A blustered Johnson calls up some actors and camera teams with a few Ventilators and lots of Hammer Horror make-up and has them rushed into the nearest Hospital for a photo-up as he turns up in his Doctor-Dictator Outfit ‘fully-masked’ with syringe in hand ……. all too real i’m afraid.
MSM is trying to make fun of people wanting to protect themselves with cheap and proven drugs. Ivermectin has been FDA approved for human use since 1996. It also beats Pfizer’s new wonder drug hands down, and costs next to nothing. Ivermectin doesn’t make tons of money. So they know the Covid shot is on its final gasp, so they take it add something different to it, rebrand under another name and charge 20 times what they would for ivermectin. I cannot wrap my head around this nonsense. When I explain this to my relatives they label me as crazy and ask me if I know better than science. I don’t make up these information out of my ass. All this information is true and proven. For some people it is near impossible for them to wake up. They are comfortable in their clown world life.

” It is also confirmation that the pandemic is well and truly over “
Oh, c’mon : you can do better than that. There never was a true ‘pandemic’ – only a widespread moderate virus.
When a government is paid to do what they are doing, they will not stop.
“. . . it is time for the Government to acknowledge this fact, lift all restrictions, end all emergency powers, and bring the state of emergency to an end.”
If only. I’ve heard of wishful thinking Will – but, sadly, this aspiration really is in fantasy land! Nonetheless, nice thought.
It’s never over, because the demonic will at the heart of this is not going to mellow out, nor start using evidence in a way that doesn’t suit it.
Reason, logic, evidence – no impact. It’s just about evil and its arbitrary whims.
I hope it is over, and maybe it is, but remember Toby Young’s assessment last year:
https://www.businessinsider.com/toby-young-i-was-wrong-saying-covid-had-disappeared-2021-1?r=US&IR=T
The thing that concerns me is that cases are starting to rise in the vulnerable age groups.
Oh dear….”cases starting to rise in the vulnerable age groups “… but we know they aren’t “cases” unless you personally have been in on the diagnosis of such “cases”? Your concerns are faux concerns.
”Up to half….” What does that mean? Not a lot. And we surely know by now that no-one is being admitted to hospital BECAUSE of ‘it’ but only WITH ‘it’ – though it may exacerbate their comorbidities.
Yep: bring on the ObesityPassports – you know, the ones Andrew Neil obviously thinks are a great idea!
