Daily Covid Cases Fall 45% Week-on-Week
Daily Covid cases fell by nearly 45% in a week today in the biggest drop since Omicron took off — and an expert claimed the U.K. would be the first country in the northern hemisphere to tame the pandemic. MailOnline has more.
There were 120,821 new positive tests logged across the country over the past 24 hours, according to Government dashboard data, down from the pandemic high of 218,000 last Tuesday. It marks the sixth day in a row infections have fallen week-on-week and strongly suggests the fourth wave is subsiding in little over a month.
There is now growing optimism the U.K.’s outbreak will follow a similar trajectory to South Africa’s, where the virus has almost completely fizzled out after becoming the Omicron epicentre in November. …
There are growing calls for No 10 to learn to live with Covid rather than focus on halting the spread of the virus now there is such a big disconnect between infections and deaths. Final restrictions could start to be lifted this month, it was claimed today.
The promising statistics came as Professor David Heymann, an epidemiologist from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), suggested the U.K. was on the brink of beating the pandemic.
He told an online briefing: “In general, now, the countries we know best in the northern hemisphere have varying stages of the pandemic. And probably, in the U.K., it’s the closest to any country of being out of the pandemic if it isn’t already out of the pandemic and having the disease as endemic as the other four coronaviruses.”

This whole scarefest could have been tamed in March 2020 with the stroke of a pen.
Angus, you sound intelligent. Could explain to this silly old fart, the difference between a ‘case’ and a ‘test’
Thank you
The Wellcome Trust has now suggested treating covid in the same we do the common cold. I smell a rat (and perhaps abandonment of ship) here and note a rapid reversal of position (increasingly common in the medical scientific community). Jeremy Farrar (Director of Wellcome and formerly on SAGE until he resigned) has been influencing, if not the architect, of UK Govt lockdowns and restrictions throughout much of the last two years, even on 21st Dec (though not then on SAGE) advocating that “draconian” measures to combat omicron might be necessary. Jonathan Sumption makes the point that despotism is the opposite of liberalism in his review of Farrar’s book, Spike. I wonder why?
Suspicious isn’t it? I think their little experiment has gone rather awry. I suspect that big pharma were desperate to get mRNA into a position where they can modify it with new sequences for any and every disease, bypassing all expensive and time-consuming testing (because everyone’s tried mRNA already so it must be safe). Instead it seems that they have created the mother of all original antigenic sin, and now they are shitting the bed.
From what I can see, Farrar, Gates, Blair, Schwab and Fauci are the Embodiment of Evil.
There … I’ve named five of them. Enough to share a large cell.
The full roles of Vallance, van Tam and Whitty remain to be disclosed.
Or a small cell…
Made of Perspex and on public display so we can remind ourselves what evil looks like.
Like that illusionist hung up in London a few years back. Except they’d have to stick it…
Any room for my Grupen Her Furer Sturgeon?
After all we imprison male sex offenders in womens prisons up here, if they pretend to be girls.
Nicola Sturgeon would enjoy herself too much in a women’s prison.
Jeremy Farrar has obviously got his head screwed on right financially. Lots of photos of him looking tanned with a couple of his shirt buttons undone, and then he lands a book contract for a ghostwritten book that was marketed onto the Sunday Times’s bestseller list. He must have trousered a big fat advance for allowing his name to be used.
I read enough propaganda from Wellcome on the news pages already.
Sunday Times muppets.
And yet Tony Blair is still there insulting the unvaccinated and his evil shitty Foundation is advocating vaxxing 5-11 year olds. It’s all extremely odd. There are major legal challenges in motion but I’m reluctant to put it down to that. It’s left me asking, and not for the first time, wtaf is going on?! Omicron has somehow backfired? They had all the ‘case’ numbers they needed to ratchet up the terror but instead backed away. I wish I was the kind of person who didn’t need to get to the bottom of this!
We didn’t beat it, we got out of its way the most. Sadly bozo will claim victory and the whole sorry mess will lay in wait for the next time our ‘world beating’ disasters need pulling out.
The most alarming thing about this entire pantomime was learning just how gullible, dense and nasty the vast majority of our population is.
Well said & i’d add, just how illiberal liberals are.
Just so…and the very reason our opponents have succeeded.
It has been like that for many years with their gullibility for the “catastrophic climate change” mantra perpetrated by the same Global Elite.

Or look at all the fuckwits who carry “smartphones” with them all the time, and who look totally blank when you tell them Facebook and Google are advertising companies, or that an “app” is a program that makes your microwave tracker function as a terminal.
The grooming of mindlessness has at least a 100 year history. See this fascinating 4-part documentary series by Adam Curtis. It explains how Bernays, Freud’s nephew, used Freud’s theories about fear and anxiety to turbo-charge the nascent PR industry into the sale-and-marketing-fuelled consumer madness that we have all witnessed.

You know, I have always thought that there was something essentially different about the character make-up – the psyche of the Brits in general that would ensure that of all country’s Britain would never fall under the spell of the kind of heavy-handed authoritarianism one would have only ever have heard about being imposed on the continent but would never take root in Britain – this country has its faults – its far from perfect I know, but I have always thought when the chips were down and while the rest of Europe lost their heads and lurched towards totalitarianism as it often does in times of crisis, that the people of this country and its elected government would renounce that precarious path and keep a calm head while everyone else was losing theirs – in fact at the time when Italy and Spain etc were announcing CCP style lockdowns I was quite proud that around mid-February Johnson and Whitty had actually been on TV ruling out lockdowns and restrictions etc and were trying to calm the public and for a while there it looked as though we were following the same route as the canny Swedes – basically keeping… Read more »
Quite simply we have no sense of identity and patriotism any more. It has been partly diluted by the influx of minorities and partly eradicated by self-shaming among the woke classes….driven of course by media as they are.
There are very few good honest, straight white Brits around willing to take a stand.
Do they still count a case as an infection? In other words the virus without the disease
That’s one propaganda victory the enemy has had that has been very widespread: confusing a virus with an illness. Practically all medics, “experts”, scribblers, and politicians further that particular lie.
It’s no better than thinking that falling off your bike is the same as bashing your head in, or that having to steer your car to one side or the other is the same as having a car crash.
Now we are in a position where an intelligent and highly relevant question such as “How many cases of Covid have been caused by omicron?” sounds ridiculous to most people.
If someone’s got a blue line in the “wrong” place and they haven’t got double pneumonia, then they haven’t got “Covid”, and they’re such a lazy c*** they haven’t even bothered, after two years, to find out what “Covid” means.
I don’t like it when people convince themselves they’ve got very serious illnesses when they’ve actually got either a minor cold or nothing at all. That used to be considered shitty and ultra-spoilt brat behaviour. Now it’s the norm.
“COVID cases” are not medically diagnosed cases, they are positive test results, which, in the absence of symptoms unique to so-called Covid, are meaningless.
The number of ‘cases’ per 100,000 population is meaningless if the number of tests per 100,000 population changes during the same period, which it always does when the government decides to release another fear storm to get more people to fall for the experimental gene therapy.
What we need to see is how the number of positive cases per 100,000 tests changes over time. Even this is subject to fraudulent manipulation with the PCR test where they can dial up or down the number of positive results by changing the number of replication cycles. Even Tony Fraudci has admitted this.
Do you remember when everyone was saying they’ve never found a cure/vaccine for the common cold. So they’ll never make a working covid vaccine!
WHO experts criticize ‘repeated booster’ strategy
Still looking, meanwhile nature will sort it out, long before they’ve actually developed a working vaccine.
Gotta wonder what the leading powers’ biowar laboratories have been doing with SARS research for the past 20 years…but that info is not public…
The patents certainly are, see Dr David Martin (If you haven’t already!)
I recommend everyone to read Real Anthony Fauci by Bobby Kennedy Jr. On chapther 3 he explains how Ivermectin could have saved 80 percent of deaths Worldwide. This book have opened my eyes. I now know that, 90% of all medicine is not for anything else than profit for them. Low profit and effective medicines are bashed and marketed as ineffective because they go against their narrative and profit plans. One of them is wonder drug Ivermectin. I see that everyday people search for it but can’t find a place to obtain. You can get yours by visiting https://ivmpharmacy.com
When you read in Kennedy’s book about how PCR was also misused by Fauci and co re HIV and AIDs, its an eye opener just how corrupt Big Pharma has become
Big Pharma – in the form of Rockefeller interests after the division of Standard Oil – CREATED the modern “health” system, based on hospitals, drugs, and an entirely bought-and-paid-for “profession” of charlatans who allow the sheeple to think they’ve got doctoral qualifications when they haven’t. It’s never NOT been “corrupt”.
The book has opened my eyes to a world full of truly evil scum. The HIV chapters in particular are just shocking. There is and never was any proof that the lowly HIV retrovirus alone causes AIDS. As soon as they found victims with a positive antibody test (which normally indicates beating a virus – but they flipped the meaning around for HIV without explanation), they issue chemotherapy drugs that do nothing except produce symptoms that are clinically indistinguishable from AIDS. Then the symptomless HIV positive victim dies of the drugs within a few months.
They reused all of their dirty tricks from the HIV/AIDS scam for coronabollocks but instead of just targeting orphanages or the poor populations of Africa and Asia, they targeted us all. Read the book, it’s £3 if you have a kindle, or find the PDF online.
Story I heard is that AIDS was a bit of a myth, and that chemotherapy is toxic muck. I’ve no reason to believe these companies are any different now.
Of course it’s about profit, that’s why these types smear harmless apricot kernels/laetrile
FFS. A winter virus starting off in March 2020 so you would guess by end of May 2020 it would be all over bar the shouting and even is it’s not we’re into the summer so it should spread itself out harmlessly. Like every other virus in history.
Maybe we could test the theory if we are not locked down through the summer for a third year running.
Am I wrong, or did I vaguely spot that ‘digital IDs’ and ‘how to live with COVID’ are being launched by the govt on the same day in April?
FFS, digital IDs are *not* living with COVID. Living with COVID just needs a simple announcement, as follows …
‘From now on we shall treat COVID in exactly the same way as we have treated colds and the flu for the past 100 years’.
Horrifyingly, yes.
German police use Covid-tracking data to hunt down witnesses to man’s death by tracking restaurant customers’ movements through vaccine passports
Didn’t take long.
Exactly why they want the vaccine passport in use here. And then of course it grows arms and legs and controls your travel, mileage, meat and alcohol consumption etc etc etc
If we don’t get it thrown out this month, all freedom has gone for ever.
A typical modern car generates 20 or more gigabytes of data per hour – not merely theoretically but in practice, actually stored on digital drives.
Had a passenger weighing 53 kilograms who sat on your middle back seat for 47 minutes before shifting to sit behind the driver for 37 minutes, and who then got out at Maidenhead railway station? All recorded.
I suspect that CCP type tyranny is one of those things like 1984 – supposed to be a warning but taken by these people as a manual.
I agree but the momentum has been lost. Introducing tyranny using lies and deception is a risky business. They have to continue to pretend that this is a public health emergency and this really limits them. I can’t see how they could engineer the appearance of need to expand their use beyond the current very limited settings domestically. However, international travel has been well and truly captured, and that could last for years.
I couldn’t have seen them getting so much mileage out of a Winter bug a couple of years back.
Say, will they really make masks permanent on aeroplanes? Looks like I’ll never get to use the new passport at this rate.
You and me both. Grounded. I won’t even take a PCR test, value my own dignity too much.
The metastatic growth of the state and the people parasiting (for a time until the host dies) are the real emergency.
How predictable!
Thanks for this.
This is reminiscent of the Jamie Bulger murder case which is when the extent of shopping mall CCTV surveillance became known to most people, and also there was a case in Switzerland around 1999 which caused it to become common knowledge that mobile phones were tracked. (The devices had been used for a few years without that knowledge – which nowadays is obvious to the entire world – becoming widespread.) Today of course some things move faster. Which isn’t to say that much tracking technology doesn’t remain secret.
The pandemic will end when the financial system collapses.
Within a few months then?
It must be due any time now.
Yes I agree. But I think the plandemic has failed to deliver the tightly controlled, terrified digital slave population they hoped it would. They’re still going for it in mainland Europe, US, Canada and Aus/NZ but the UK leadership seems to have lost their stomach for it. Maybe they believe they can weather the coming storm?
Boris Johnson’s departure from Number 10 seems imminent. The Tory party can’t afford to let its support plummet among the 60+. Many in that age group weren’t allowed to be at the bedside of dying parents, spouses, and siblings, supposedly “because of Covid”. Some were humiliatingly kept physically apart from family members at funerals, “because of Covid”. The prime minister? He stood in front of a lectern in Downing Street, looking solemn and spouting the message that we all have to make sacrifices in these hard times, as if it were wartime. Then he’d saunter out the back and have a piss-up in the garden with dozens of his mates. That’s what they call “bad optics”. In 1979, prime minister James Callaghan famously held an excruciatingly embarrassing press conference at Heathrow, which the Sun newspaper the next day referenced with the words “Crisis? What Crisis?” (That was a line from the 1973 film “The Day of the Jackal”.) Take a look at Callaghan’s effort and tell me Johnson isn’t in an even weaker position. Johnson can’t do apologies. I recall him once managing an “I’m terribly sorry” to John Bercow, after he called Emily Thornberry “Lady Nugee”. That level of… Read more »
Not a mention in the MSM. Anybody else notice that.
No, daily false positive LFT or PCR tests fell 45%
But lest we forget : “cases” means absolutely sweet f.a.!Remind all of the gullible around us that these manipulative b*stards keep misdirecting us deliberately.
