There's a bikers event here in Southend. I didn't know that. No wonder it's so busy.

They will probably blame Boris now and Starmer will be calling for him to resign

Boris doesn't need to be blamed for other people's mistakes.....he's made plenty of his own that call his position into question

For briefly forgetting to wear a mask in a shop? I'd have been arrested 4 times over the last 2 years if it was enforced that strictly. A few weeks back I casually sauntered into the local Co op, got my stuff, paid, left and got half way home before realising I didn't even have a mask with me.

Hmm. I had hoped the numbers earlier this week were just Easter catch-up but the steady increase to over 600 is... notable. Everyone seems to have written Covid off as "basically over" but my belief is wavering.

It is easter catch up, they reckon it's still down at 200 a day.

If you add up the full week's numbers it doesn't really average out to that, but we'll see as we go into next week.

we could well have a new more lethal variant and we would know nothing about it

In my opinion, it's more likely that the newer variants simply aren't actually as "mild" for everyone as has been touted, and vaccine immunity is starting to wane.

the numbers should start to drop with the warmer weather, so that will be a key indicator

[Cherie]

The increase is numbers could also be due to how transmissable this variant is, so more people are dying with it rather than from it?
350 on vents across the UK out of 3,000 hospitals is not cause for concern I would have thought?

My 85 year old aunt has been called for her 4th booster so the continued vaccination of over 70s is still rolling out

Maybe but we're quite a long way into these more transmissible variants now so you'd expect those numbers to have gone up before now, unless something has changed in the last month or so. Ventilator/ICU numbers look fine but ... not to be too grim ... that only really means that a lot of the people dying have not been put on ventilator (which generally would mean it's elderly people who can often be too frail to ventilate).

TS
Doing OK.

[MTVN]

They still do the random test sampling through the ONS which gives a pretty accurate picture across the country, much more so than the daily updates. That's showing that infections did peak a while ago and hospitalisations have been decreasing for a couple of weeks now as well. The daily dashboard deaths are not a particularly true figure this week either
