Covid Easing?

[eve1974]

Today’s reports suggest covid hospitalisations are slowing (albeit very slightly). Does this mean that the lockdown is beginning to take effect?

[Sqad]

Yes.....it is........but that is all one can say at the moment.
Question is....Will the reduction continue.
Time will tell.

The rate of increase might be slowing slightly but hospital admissions are still rising.

However the number of new cases reported each day is now falling, suggesting that the lockdown is starting take effect.

Some say the constant rummaging through the numbers is pointless, achieving nothing unless you need a headline for your newspaper/bulletin.

canary why do you live here if you hate us so much? On vaccinations we are doing better than most and better than all the countries of the EUSSR put together but you never major on that do you?

[10ClarionSt]

I sometimes think people don't like to see the facts. TTT talks about the EUSSR but doesn't like the truth when it's blindingly obvious. What do you want TTT? Pravda style facts? What's wrong with the graph that Canary posted?

[royfromaus]

7 day average...Lies, damned lies, and statistics

[joeski53]

All TTT is doing is post the good as well as the bad, show both sides whats up with that, part of the problem here is we dont do whats advised, warnings then parties then fines by the thousands, surely you cant believe thats actuially helped the cause can you?

[10ClarionSt]

Joe, that's a load of cobblers. Don't believe everything you see on tinternet. It's only a tiny, tiny minority. The vast majority of people are following the rules.

And wearing clean masks?

[douglas9401]

Looks like doghouse again for our hero.

Evening Bob! :o)

I would suggest that some people are not as up to the mark as they should be about wearing masks. I know, I know. You'll include me in that, but how many people do you see in the shops wearing just a visor type mask? Plenty, right? Well, on it's own, a visor is illegal and should only be worn to supplement a face mask. Tis true. Look here.

Clarion, if your parliamentarians are doing it( and thats well documented) as well as film/tv stars again (well documented) you can bet your life the public will be doing it, ive seen pictures of parties and people reveling for the past 2/3 lockdowns, it certainly is not tosh as you put it!!! The fines are mounting every day it certainly isnt tosh read the facts/reports and view the footage.

[10ClarionSt]

I would Joe but the whole thing is just a bore. Hey ho!

[joeski53]

Clarion, your point about visors is good, why then i this not being enforced?

Nice graphics( not graph) of ... quote "7 day average of new daily coronavirus deaths per million." Haha. pick a week(the worst is best) then get someone with an agenda to give it a title . Do not include old deaths or it is meaningless if you need to catch the hand wringers. This disaster was a massive 16.55 people per million( the other .45 were run over). Worrying really though. If deaths have to be defined as "new" in some "studies", does it mean that they count the old ones differently, or even twice in some statz istics? Don't swallow the stuff off the bottom of the bird cage.

[joeski53]

Clarion my mate its a bore for us all, but what the heck we are in it now lol!!!!!!!

To answer the question posed by our op. Yes Eve it looks like it is easing a little. It had to, after the draconian measure that we have all(nearly all that is) had to endure, or we really were in the watsit. That would have no doubt pleased some of our less charitable contributors and their handlers/controllers, as we can see by the clumsy grasping of any tenuous snippet to warp into a denigration of Britain. We will get there despite them, but unfortunately the gainsayers will also likely benefit from our efforts, despite making no positive contribution to the cause whatsoever.
