I don't get it either - today's cases total is as bad as the worst day of the "second wave", 10th November - 27,417 - and in a couple of weeks time it's the end of lockdown .....

12 people a day are still dying from the virus, 200 a day are being hospitalised and, while 23,270 people have formally logged "long Covid" with their GP, the recent React study estimated about 2,000,000 people may have had long-lasting symptoms after Covid.

And HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS!

How jabs have tamed the third wave: Just one in 100 NHS beds now taken up by Covid patients in England compared to one in six at start of second surge in December
EXCLUSIVE: Fourteen times fewer beds are being taken up by Covid patients than in the middle of December
Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty told a cabinet briefing that the NHS can cope with hospitalisations now
The cautious expert said delaying Freedom Day any further than July 19 would result in a worse winter wave
Well there you go misery guts.

Quoted by that nice Christopher Whitty....

......................

So if all the beds are not been taken by covid patients, why are a lot of hospitals choc o block with patients? In the summer as well?

Barnsley hospital has actually closed due to the overwhelming influx of patients, several other Yorkshire hospitals are also reporting record numbers of patients, unprecedented at this time of year, and the Yorkshire air ambulance is stretched to the maximum....
Even down London way...My nextdoor neighbour took ill while visiting her sister in London yesterday and was taken to hospital, she was kept on a trolley in the corridor for over ten hours because there were no beds available...

The excuse given on the BBC news was because due to lockdown more people were doing DIY jobs at home and injuring themselves....How come the same thing didn't happen last year when the country was shut down proper and there were a lot more people at home?

Maybe because of all those who had their treatment cancelled at the height of the pandemic.

A lot of operations and treatment of patients had to be cancelled to cope with the Covid patients, Bob.
Thanks to the folk having vaccinations to help control Covid, they are now able to catch up on some of the cancelled ops and treatments.

Re: Coronavirus: Third wave will 'wash up on our shores', warns Johnson

But why would they have needed the Yorkshire Air Ambulance to deliver them for routine surgery? And why is it A&E that is collapsing under the weight? If they are routine procedures somebody has screwed up by filling all the hospital beds throughout England, what if there are emergencies like my neighbour? Something not right here..... What aren't they telling us?

Football in pubs link to Tamworth Covid outibreak

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...shire-57678761

Football fans out watching Euro 2020 games are being linked to a town's rapid rise in Covid-19 infections.

A sports bar in Tamworth has been asked to close after several cases amongst visitors and the council said most testing positive were aged 18-34.

Cases started to rise after the England versus Scotland match on 18 June.

Tamworth recorded the biggest increase in cases of any English local authority area between the week to 19 June and the week to 26 June.

Numbers testing positive increased five-fold, from 54 the previous week to 293. It recorded its highest number of cases on 28 June, when 93 were identified.

The area now has the 11th-highest infection rate in the country, with a rate of 382 cases per 100,000 people.

Dr Richard Harling, director for Health and Care at Staffordshire County Council, said: "The outbreak in Tamworth is mainly among the 18-34 age group, who are likely to go out and drink especially when there is an England game on. With the majority of cases being the Delta Variant, having lots of people mixing would give a good opportunity for the virus to spread."

So young folk have tested positive, chances are they didn't have a vaccine, but have any been hospitalised Omah? If the answer is no, why don't we allow them to build natural immunity? It will last far longer, be more efficient with other variants than the immunity from the vaccines, won't need topping up every few months and it's natural....
