    No, but how much of that is flu cases, naturally high at this time of the year, possibly being lumped in along with them?

    Either accidentally, due to the potential for error of PCR tests accurately differentiating between both, and therefore generating false positives? Or... The government falsely inflating the figures for reasons previously discussed?

    The move to lateral flow now instead will possibly improve the efficacy of testing for Covid, so maybe then we'll get more accurate (possibly lower) figures recorded for new cases? Consider that.

    What's interesting is the currently high level of new infections reported, yet comparatively few hospitalisations... That suggests that either the vaccines and new ways of treating Covid patients in hospitals is very effective, or that there exists lots of false positives artificially inflating the figures for new infections - or possibly both! We don't know.

    In any case (no pun intended), as I said, *it's the flu season*, so even if those 45,000 are genuine Covid cases, how long before they're superceded by cases of flu? Do we now impose restrictions or lockdowns because of flu...?

    We're heading into the winter, folks, and viruses abound, so traditionally this is a time when people become ill from all sorts of things, not just Covid. Therefore, if you've been double-jabbed, flu jabbed and boosted up to yer bollox, then all you can do is suck it up and get on with it, and don't buy into the media-created hysteria!

    Where are the statistics to back up the statement “doesn’t stop transmission, but reduces it greatly” ?

    Indeed, and how many deaths are there every year from pneumonia? Not great, is it?

    We need to put things into perspective and stop obsessing now over Covid.

    Before this pandemic, how much did we focus on or take notice of stats for the number of people infected by flu, or any other disease or virus, and how busy or otherwise hospitals were? Speaking for myself, and I'm sure most others, it never entered my head!

    Now the authorities and media have conditioned us to 'fret over' something that, at this stage, we simply have to manage as best we can and learn to live with. The best thing right now, for the sake of our mental health and well-being, is to forget all about Covid, and if you're fully vax'd and boosted, just get on with your life.

    The only reason I post the daily stats is to keep a historical record of them, for future reference, and so that I'm aware of what's happening on a daily basis and therefore what action to expect next from our authorities!

    I would quite agree whit you I had both jabs and I would have done much to jump in front of the que to get them early I also take a shit load of vitamins and such so I am not that scare about it

    But this is not the flue or cancer.

    If this thing escaped a lab we need to find out how and to punish the ones responsible and that it does no happens again
    It has also put in evidence how badly we are ruled and how easy it is to limit our liberty how corrupt is the media and how all that mater is only the balance sheet for the investors.

    What action would you expect by this, or any government, but spin and lies and promoting self interest?
    Have you noticed where Kiss Boy the Fucking Useless one is ended up?

    No definition of confirmed cases, other than laboratory tests, the WHO requires medical confirmation.

    It was published by NHE and all the data supplied by NHE, this alone would be cause for concern over accuracy.

    No peer review that I can find.

    It’s written in such a way to cause confusion as to its “real” findings.

    The statistics indicate a 1 in 2 chances of getting cancer, where’s the panic to stop this rather than treat it?

    What,
    just in the UK?

    Many many different forms of cancer,
    So not an apples to apples comparison?

    Both numbers are devastating obviously.

    Cancer is not contagious
    My own choice to smoke or not and to wear PPE properly, employer duty to inform and enforce media cover ups not as we have seen whit the Fauci virus
    Government stopping cig manufacturers from selling poison or making them addictive is another bad joke
