Daily Cases Fall 40% as London Returns to Normal

by Toby Young
17 January 2022 6:14 PM

Britain’s daily Covid cases plunged for the 12th day in a row today as the Omicron wave continued to collapse and workers headed back to offices in their largest numbers since it took off. MailOnline has more.

Another 84,429 tests came back positive for the virus in the past 24 hours, according to Government dashboard data, down around 41% on last week. Daily cases have fallen week-on-week since January 6th.

There were also 85 coronavirus deaths registered today in a 10% rise compared to last Monday. Latest hospital data shows there were 2,357 admissions on January 11th, virtually unchanged in a week.

In a sign of public confidence in the promising stats, London’s roads were the busiest they have been during the morning rush-hour since the day Boris Johnson confirmed that England would enter Plan B restrictions.

Congestion data recorded by location services company TomTom found the level in the capital between 8am and 9am this morning was at 69% – the highest it has been for that time period in six weeks since December 8th.

The congestion level represents the extra travel time for drivers on average compared to baseline uncongested conditions – so a 69% level means a 30-minute trip will take 21 minutes more than with no traffic.

Today’s figure was also above the 2019 average of 63% and 2020 average of 49% for 8am on a Monday in London – showing there were more cars on the road in the capital today than before the pandemic. The figure last Monday was 61%, while it was just 2% on Monday, January 3rd but this was a bank holiday.

Worth reading in full.

This could be because there is no body or authority to regulate or insist on amateurs playing sport in a park not having Trans in the game. —-But I have said it before that the only way this will stop is if those participating refuse to participate, and this is not easy to organise. I appreciate women will have put a lot of time, effort and money into their sport but if they feel strongly that this nonsense should stop then they must organise, or they will not have a sport left to participate in.

Strikes me as a form of subterfuge and sadism. No real man or real woman would want to take part in a competition where they had obvious unfair inborn advantages. You wouldn’t be winning anything you would just be putting the worst part of yourself on display.

”Protected”? Ha! Look at this. All on the same day, so a good comparison. I’m pretty sure that British females will feel much more secure and protected knowing that only the ‘dangerous’ non-predatory woman got sent down while the three male perverts got off Scott free. They can be assured that the slap on the wrist is all the deterrent these pervs need to learn their lesson;

”On the same day Lucy Connolly was jailed for 31 months for a FB post: a policeman who sexually assaulted 2 women, a registered sex offender who asked children for naked pics online & a pervert voyeur who secretly filmed women on the toilet because he was “horny”, all walked free.”

This dangerous nonsense will only stop if ALL women and girls refuse to participate in organised sports, whether at professional or local level (including schools).
