I do no fear mongering, but I do do facts and it’s not over, although it is getting better.

Didnt mean you, media in general, bad news is good news.

Let’s wait for the good news then - right now we have “not quite as bad as it was, but not yet over”. I think they need a slightly catchier headline than that if it’s going on a front cover.

Are we at the point of 'end of the beginning, and beginning of the end'. As for the medics - well 'never have so many owed so much to so few.' Billy will come out with this when he addresses the nation on the wireless July 18 Freedom Day. VE day will be a bit later when the EU boys catch up on the jabbing. I blame their lack of an EU sheep flock - they have lost that jabbing skill set.

Apart from winter (Jan 21) spike, death rate is within normal range so there should be no headline!

For 2021? Where have you seen the data - I’ve not looked newer the 2020 final figures which were significantly worse (+12%, iirc) than the long term trend.
Are you answering this @essex man ?

There is NO such thing as long covid!
Just like there is NO such thing as long flu!
Yet i had a very severe bout of flu in 2000 to the point i could not even climb the stairs on my hands and knees for several days and could not climb into a tractor cab for over 2 weeks i was that bad, it took me 18 months to fully recover yet not once was it called long flu by my doctors!

There are now many illnesses that did not have a name untill there were studied in detail
pneumonia takes a long time to recover from over a year in some cases and knocks healthy people down
measels is a mild ilness in the fortunate but some cases lead to very serious complications and can kill you
long covid as a name was coined by the press as they need a name to differentiate it

Cases soaring in europe .
Balearics could go red tomorrow .
Greek PM knows why
"After a year and a half, no one can claim ignorance about the coronavirus anymore," Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in a televised address. "The country will not shut down again due to attitude adopted by certain people ... It's not Greece that's a danger, but unvaccinated Greeks."

Covid: Fully jabbed arrivals from France must still quarantine
A planned relaxation of England's rules from Monday will not apply due to cases of the Beta variant.
www.bbc.co.uk
And the Tory government wonders why folk are confused. Another small change to the rules if travelling from abroad. Billy is doing his best to make leaving the country awkward. And to pee off as many folk as he can. In fact he is doing a pretty good job of that.

We're getting there, you've got 35 million fully vacced.
France...
Situation on July 15, 2021, the latest official statistics available recorded at 14:00*
- Recorded new cases in France in previous 24 hours: 3,617
- New deaths: 16 (total number of deaths in France now 111,458)
- Rate of positive tests: 1,4%
- Number of people having received at least one Covid-19 vaccine dose: 36,415,465 (+173,187 in last 24h) (latest update on 14/07/2021)**
- Number of people fully vaccinated (with one, two or three doses): 28,687,069 (+184,337 in last 24h) (latest update on 14/07/2021)**
The rate of positive tests is the number of positive tests divided by the total number of tests over the past seven days.
Data provided immediately after weekends and bank holidays is lower than average. This is due to the testing facilities mainly being closed during these times

Perfect.
Would hope you are right but have noticed that while case numbers are falling as they have before in the summer unfortunately the critically ill patient numbers are rising steadily, not sure case numbers truly reflect what's really happening.

The worry will be what happens come Sept Oct when people get indoors and winter approaches.
That's not to say I am worried about catching covid
Only if it interferes with my hip replacement, because if you have been to hospital appointments and seen the restriction on full services and the amount going into the vax campaign, wonderful that it is but it does not take long to shut these things down again!
But that's being selfish on my part.
Hobbling for the last 2 yrs ain't fun though and milking most days too

Rising much more slowly than in other peaks though.hopefully give it a week and numbers in hospital will begin to fall as well.

I believe according to one scientist in the US 98% of their hospital cases are of those who haven't had the vaccine admittedly he was an astrophysicist and not a biologist or a biochemist
