We’ve been flagging up the number of ‘Covid’ patients admitted to a hospital for a different reason on this site for over a year, but even I was shocked by this analysis by MailOnline‘s Senior Health Reporter which found that 65% of new Covid patients were admitted to hospital for something other than Covid and only tested positive after they’d been admitted.
In the two weeks to December 21, hospitals in England recorded 563 new coronavirus inpatients – the majority of which are believed to be Omicron now that the variant is the country’s dominant stain.
But just 197 (35%) were being primarily treated for Covid, with the remaining 366 (65%) only testing positive after being admitted for something else.
Experts told MailOnline it was important to distinguish between admissions primarily for Covid so that rising numbers do not spook ministers into more social restrictions or scare the public from going to hospital.
England’s incidental hospital cases are being driven by London, which has become the U..K.’s Omicron hotspot and where admissions have been rising sharply.
Just over four in 10 new Omicron hospital patients in London were admitted for a different ailment, MailOnline’s analysis suggests.
There were 523 more ‘Covid admissions’ resulting in an overnight stay in the two weeks to December 21st, after Omicron became dominant in the capital earlier this month.
Admission rates for Covid in the capital are one factor ministers are keeping an eye on before potentially pulling the trigger on more curbs because London is considered to be a few weeks ahead of the rest of the country in its Omicron outbreak.
Officials are reported to be considering a national two-week ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown after Christmas if London’s daily admissions breach 400 this week — which would signal ‘unsustainable’ pressure on the NHS.
The latest data show this figure is currently just shy of this threshold, at 301 patients on Monday.
The rising number of so-called ‘incidental cases’ – people who are only diagnosed with the virus after going to the NHS for a different ailment – is in line with the picture in South Africa.
Studies in the epicentre Gauteng province have shown up to three-quarters of Omicron patients there were not admitted primarily for the virus.

No shit Sherlock
Don’t insult Sherlock, he’s more real than COVID-19.
This was old news in 2020. Aren’t we in 2021? Wait, it’s nearly 2022…
Shoot me dead.
Pfizer, Moderna or AZ?
No, no: NO JAB for you!
It just the same old scam repeated every year.
Ah yes: just love the golden oldies!
Constantly recycled by the BBC and all the MSM bought by Gates.
Dr. Sikhulile Moyo – the scientist in Botswana that discovered the extremely mild Omicron variant of COVID-19 – has told how his country, and all of Africa, was unfairly targeted by the international community after he revealed the variant.
His country was put on a red list, flights were cancelled and the importation of goods stopped. A lot of businesses lost millions. And their vaccine supplies were halted because of delays caused by being red-listed – it’s not just the COVID-19 vaccines, but also genuine pre-COVID vaccines and other medications that they have vital need for.
Compare this to the U.K. a few months ago when the so-called Delta variant was supposedly raging. The U.K. was not put on a red list.
Africa is flooded with hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin and other generic drugs which are used there to treat a variety of tropical diseases. These drugs have proved to be very efficient at treating all variants of COVID-19. This is why the rates of COVID-19 are so low in Africa.
See what’s going on here: The uptake of the COVID-19 mRNA gene therapies in Africa was very low, and this could not be tolerated by the Cabal . So, the Omicron variant was used as an excuse to punish Africa.
They’ll use Omicron to block imports into Africa, including medications. This will greatly increase the levels of sickness across the continent, and it will be claimed that this rise in illness is because of COVID-19.
With the Omicron variant, the Cabal got two birds with one stone. They also used it to increase the uptake of the mRNA gene therapies in the West.
This act the Cabal are at across the world is so childish and easily seen through, it’s amazing so many people are taken in by it. Have all them fu*kers that constantly feed in McDonalds lost all ability for any form of critical thought?
Maybe that’s it, perhaps the chemical laden crap they eat 24/7 in McDonalds has given them an unconscious hunger for the poisons in the mRNA gene therapies.
no need to be such a snob about it. plenty of my intellectual friends who wouldnt be seen dead in Mcdonalds have swallowed all this. Maybe fireweasel you are the problem
Suggesting to 24/7 fast food diners that this lifestyle may be unhealthy is not being snobbish.
If being snobbish were the case, then all doctors, dieticians and health fitness instructors in the UK are snobbish.
I find the same, and it’s so depressing because they’ve almost all had and recovered from covid, and absolutely didn’t need these shots. One of these friends wrote a tearful letter last week telling me of her paralysed arm and need for a walking stick, and pain in every joint in her body, a month after the shot. This is a woman who regularly went hiking and played table tennis.
Last night I spoke to my closest friend about my nephew, who became paralysed down one side after the booster and cannot speak properly now. She was shocked and saddened, but somehow didn’t relate any of this to herself, proclaiming she’d just had her booster because “I thought I might as well”.
It gets me when people say “Ive had my booster”, and ask “have you had your booster?” They’ve taken possession of it, like it already belongs to them. I reply that I don’t own one and they look at me strangely.
Neiher of these vaccine victims have been entered on the Yellow Card system. I sent the link for the form so she can fill it in herself.
Tell us something new. Been going on since the start of the hoax. Be admitted to hospital for late stage cancer. Swab and swab until they find a tiny fragment of dead RNA from a common cold infection ten years earlier. Run it through the PCR until its magnified a billion times and you can call it a ‘covid case’. Die of cancer. Register death as covid. Its why its called a plandemic.
Wouldn’t ‘Scamdemic’ be more accurate?
Yes, or “Pseudo Pandemic” ( excellent new book by this name!)
As Fauci openly said- they needed a ‘pandemic’ to push the vax into people’s arms!
Why would you need a national lockdown for cases that are only high in London? Not that I agree with any type of lockdown at all (and how I detest that term ‘circuit breaker’), but this is just typical of London centric government whose whole world only exists within the boundary of the M25.
Why? To impose the “Great Reset tyranny project of course …why else?
Why is it shocking that each and every official health statistic which can be gamed is being gamed? This has been plainly obvious even from the basic analysis of the data I can do at home (I’m a programmer but have no training in statistics ot anything related, hence, I wrote a bunch of fairly simple Perl scripts for that because I wanted to know what was/is going on here).
Gates bought World Health and the WHO …what more do we need to know?
This has been one of the main planks of the scam since the start. All the “covid” data – “cases”, “hospitalisations” and “deaths” – is irretrievably compromised. Almost as if the intention was to wildly exaggerate the danger. Why ever would our government want to do that?
To teach compliance and obedience via fear?
To flog drugs.
To get them into people’s arms… forever!
Find out how many, especially from the left, have shares in Big Pharma. SAGE have, I believe. Do you recall the days when ‘conflict of interest’ was a serious breaking of the rules?
I am not naive – I think – but I have been on the butt end of GMC/HCPC registered medics who lied for pecuniary gain, proved it to be so only for the GMC to close ranks. Don’t expect anyone to believe it in one sense – proof is a massive dossier, too personal and much too involved. I could write a book about it – which would also track the involvement of medics in shaping Government policy ( for THEIR own personal/commercial ends ) and the trail starts in the US before coming here. I can back up every word of this; its tentacles would shock some but I suspect not the majority of sceptical stoics here.
Even so, tI find he content of Dr K’s “Doctoring Data” is very much in tune with how Big Pharma are driving this; lies, distortions, inadequate testing, suppression of trial adverse data, massive engagement of very influential people/organisations – Fauci/Wellcome/Farrar/Gates/GAVI/WEF/WHO etc – payola on a brain busting level of medics over decades; “creating a demand for drugs” has to be the mantra of some completely unprincipled and truly evil people, imho, especially where the harm outweighs the potential benefit.
I do not believe in conspiracies, but I believe Dr David Martin is correct – the level of illegality surrounding SARS COV2/”vaccines” that is being ignored is mindblowing – but then again when you have people of the calibre of Whitty/Vallance/Harries/Johnson/SAGE/Hancock/Javed is it any wonder that “conflict of interest” is now a “badge of honour” for some of these “snouts of pigs in troughs” crooks?
It seems the all have! Millionaire Javid has Medical Company interests.
It seems you need a “conflict of interest” to be ‘useful’ in Government now!
We have know this. It has been true throughout the epidemic, but for Omicron it is especially noteworthy. It’s mild nature was picked up in part because of incidental Covid for people in hospital for other issues.
There needs to be a clear breakdown between Covid primary and Covid incidents so policy makers have an honest picture. But there seems to be some reason this data has been hidden. I wonder what that may be.
I also wonder, but whatever the exact reason is, it’s the work of the Devil.
Progress toward the ‘Great Reset’ is in play and accelerating. Our government and other western governments are just lackeys to the WEF. It’s never been just about a virus.
What fresh hell is this in my timeline?
‘Healthier Together’. Somehow doubt it if they’ve just been spiked for the third time!
caption for that:
the boosters work so well we’re still wearing masks like the 3 moronic cunts that we are.
That is seriously purile propoganda.
Nauseating.
This is almost worse . a new version of Jingle Bells urging people to get vccinated sung horribly by three Italian TV scientists si si si si si vax vacciniamoci! – Bing video
And the response from Undeground Zero risposta a “Si si si Vacciniamoci” – Tu scendi dalle scale – Bing video
Sick. The NHS is now an MDI – a “Mentally Deranged Institution”
“Grabajab.net.”
God.
The NHSS is now sick …who can heal it?
While the MSM condemns the use of ivermectin, the most populated state in India just declared they are officially COVID free after promoting widespread use of the safe, proven medicine. In addition to this, Ivermectin attaches to covid spikes and prevents them from binding to ACE2. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
The MSM are taking their orders from their paymaster Gates, the Vaccine King of the World!
Militarization of Health Care: Generals Take Control of Covid Task Forces Internationally
“Coincidently,” globalist billionaire Bill Gates previously called for the militarization of the health system in 2015.
On Friday, the Austrian government announced that Major General Rudolf Striedinger and Katharina Reich, Director General for Public Health, would lead a new office for the “nationwide Covid crisis coordination” (GECKO). The new GECKO task force is supposed to support the government in the fight against “Omikron.”
The General appeared dressed for battle in his military uniform. The new unit will advise and report to the government and coordinate the areas of vaccination, testing, and drug ordering. His appointment gave the armed forces a stronger role in the government’s Covid agenda.
Everything Is Going According To Bill Gates’ Plan

Are those numbers correct? In the last two weeks, a total of 197 people needed hospital treatment for Covid. That’s 14 people per day. That is what is threatening to overwhelm the 1,229 hospitals in England? That’s why we are being threatened with more lockdowns?
Ok, it appears it may be 197 admissions per day. I’m still not sure, but it hardly matters. That’s still only about one Covid admission per 6 hospitals. I bet ingrowing toenails are a bigger problem than Covid.
Ah!, now, this is where you suffer from faulty thinking.
You see, the current ‘thermostat’ of infections is in London, and London must be protected at all costs.
It won’t actually matter if, in the not too distant future, those 197 daily cases are confined to Manchester or York, London will be OK, therefore no lockdowns.
See, it’s easy when you know how.
The whole article is riddled with errors. HSA report 8,235 hospital admissions in the past 4 weeks. The sentiment may be OK but a 15 year-old must have written this.
Don’t believe the figures …simple.
Having been rigoursly analysed on this site by so many different minds both inside and outside the box, the only conclusionI I can reach is that this virus has been hocus-pocus from the start. I’m sure other agencies have seen opportunity and taken advantage of the vacuum created by this bullsup but that is only to be expected. It will be interesting to see how the government dig themselves out of this mess.
That’s been their quandary since not lifting the blockade 3 weeks into lockdown. And that’s if you dont belief the conspiracy theorists.
Think back to the man in china collapsing. The welding shut of apartment blocks. People Locked in the homes trying communicate with their children , who were standing at the far end of the garden , through a closed window.
The whole lot was total bullshit
Those of us who were awake from the start have told everyone this from the beginning!
As previously noted; admittance as an inpatient is dependent on taking both tests (see how far protesting ‘human rights’ gets you).
In-patients are then lateral flow tested every other day.
A junior Nurse who administers these LF tests remarked last week
“sometimes people come in clear after both tests and then later test positive. Everybody then has to run around at panic stations but, often as not, more tests find them negative after all. Makes you wonder about the tests . .”
I voiced my sympathy but left it at that, not wishing to encourage her career damaging rebellious attitude.
Given how dangerous to people’s health NHS hospitals apparently are, maybe we should move the entire NHS to an island of the coast and enact strict border controls so that it can be quarantined or lo ked down whenever necessary.
Then the rest of us can get on with our lives.
The South Africans tried to explain this to the rest of the world, but they found the rest of the world wasn’t listening. If this doesn’t prove it’s political theatre, I don’t know what will.
What a surprise. I guess in normal times they would just deal with the main problem, whatever one is in hosp for. No doubt the obsession with looking for one additional problem skews the results.
Now the papers are saying that the booster only lasts for 10 weeks, so a further one will be needed
How long before you need your next booster before you had your last one? Like some endless performance of Frere Jacques sung in endless rounds.
Not to worry …the end will come.
That means 5 a year, I wonder who would benefit from selling 5 boosters a year to governments? Kerfuckingching says big pharma.
Big Pharma are now nothing more than Mexican drug cartels, and Javid and Boris and their mates have got you hooked on their drugs, whether you like it or not.
and just as ruthless, with a body count of similar proportions no doubt.
Manufacturing drugs has long been a licence to print money.
When your immune system is destroyed by vaccines it is ‘deficient’ and cannot protect you from any illness…so you have ‘acquired’ an “immune deficiency” …this is called a “syndrome”- so, an Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome…or if you like, AIDS…for short.
Ring any bells?
My partner’s daughter’s husband said he’d be willing to take a ‘vaccination’ every day if only it would stop him from getting ‘Covid’. He’s 32 years old. These are the kind of morons that live amongst us.
I look at the NHS England data this morning (https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/12/Primary-Diagnosis-Supplement-20211223.xlsx etc.).
At 21 December:
i.e. 71%.
I cannot see where they got the data that, in the 2 weeks to December 21, 563 coronavirus inpatient admissions were recorded of which 197 were “for” covid and 366 “with” it.
Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks.
They just made the data up. When are you going to realise that?
You can’t go into a hospital to see for yourself… it’s all secret.
What amazes me is that the sub-editor, the editor, the other people that look at this stuff before it goes in the paper can allow this kind of rubbish to get through. None of it makes any sense, it’s a mess of contradictions & nonsense numbers.
Yes, don’t believe any ‘official’ Covid stats.
I can think of two things:
Firstly, the difference between “in” and “admitted to” hospital. Presumably. each admission stays a number of days so the total “in” hospital would be a multiple of the daily intake.
Secondly, around 2 in 3 patients in with covid were not admitted for it. They were admitted for other illnesses and caught covid in hospital.
I’m not saying the numbers are accurate, just feasible.
If you ever had a cold then you have the Caronavirus footprint in your DNA, and no matter how faint the trace or how many decades ago it was, if they ratchet up the reading cycles far enough, they will find a positive trace and be able to set off the alarm sirens and have you labelled as a danger to humanity.
Mustn’t it be wonderful for creepy little people, who never learned to dance or laugh at anything, to be able to tell ordinary people to do exactly as they say?
We know that. Remember – there are lies, damned lies and government and SAGE statistics
Just as there are liars, damned liars and the BBC plus Guardian. {It’s the way they tell ’em: ‘mostly peaceful’ BLM protests was the absolute classic!}
Did somebody mention SAGE?
This video should have a ” Dangerous Content” warning.
Afternoon all.
The Ethical Skeptic has published an analysis, fully referenced, showing the spread of disease, and a stunning revelation as to why the south east Asian area did not get the level of infection that the ROTW did. It’s a long read, but get yourself one of those christmas coffee’s, a comfy chair and read on. Unbelievable (but not to us here) how long SARs CoV2 has been around.
chinas-ccp-concealed-sars-cov-2-presence-in-china-as-far-back-as-march-2018
”Circuit breaker”, ”pulling the trigger”, etc.
Isn’t anyone else sickened by this patronising language?
Perhaps they should also tell us how many of these ”other ailments” were due to the quacksine.
All BS – along with every single comment by any Government or Health Service ‘expert’ or spokesperson.
The Drosten, computer modelled with Chineses stats, PCR tests, run at 40-45 cycles of amplification by the NHS are a total Fraud.
No PCR test can detect an infection with anything …how often does it have to be repeated?
“Officials are reported to be considering a national two-week ‘circuit breaker’ lockdown after Christmas if London’s daily admissions breach 400 this week”
Can someone explain to me how locking down Ashby De La Zouch will help London’s hospitals?
