Covid-19 case rates fall to lowest levels in seven months

Covid infections have dropped below 100 cases per 100,000 people in every local area of the UK for the first time in seven months, new data shows. Two areas, the Orkney Islands and Western Isles, have no recorded cases while Rother in East Sussex and North Devon have a rate of just 1.
The highest is 98.8 cases per 100,000 in Mansfield – but the overall picture shows how the UK has pressed down its second wave after months of lockdown and the vaccine rollout.
The last time cases were this low in every local area was in the week up to September 1.
By January 10, just five of 380 local authority areas had their case rates below 100, with some seeing cases soar to 1,000 per 100,000 people.
The figures, for the seven days to April 10, have been compiled by the PA news agency from health agency data.
They precede the latest relaxation of restrictions in England, which saw outdoor hospitality, gyms and non-essential retail return.
The impact vaccinations have had on stopping Covid spreading continues to be assessed, with scientists expecting them to reduce transmission to a degree.
Research from the Government-commissioned React study in England, run by Imperial College London, suggested vaccines had begun “breaking the link” between infections, hospitalisations and deaths.
But Boris Johnson has credited restrictions as the main reason cases have fallen so far.
“Of course the vaccination programme has helped, but the bulk of the work in reducing the disease has been done by the lockdown,” he said.
PA analysis also shows 17% of local areas now have below 10 cases per 100,000 people, including 2.8 in Derbyshire Dales, 2.6 in the Scottish Borders and 1.1 in Monmouthshire.
Government data shows more than 4.3 million cases have been recorded since the pandemic’s start, while 150,000 people have died with Covid-19 mentioned on the death certificate.
More than 32 million people have been given their first dose of a Covid vaccine while 8 million have been given their second dose.

Vaccine has nothing to do with it as the NHS states in the vaccine guide “ there is no cure for covid” but unfortunately this kind of news pushes the narrative that vaccines work- dangerous times .

PSI is not pushing any narrative, merely reporting what has been said.

Look a little harder and you will see who is behind all of it. The same group behind all the other problems. The same group coordinating all the countries and had them all order their fake PCR tests back in 2018.

Fake virus, fake test and fake numbers. Naturally as the Zionists roll out the injections in which the manufactures admit prevent no infection or transmission (how could they since there is no sample of a pathogen) they will report less covid numbers. They may even lower the cycles on the fake test.
The plan is to condition the goyim to always be apprehensive about the fake virus with the new “strains” always imminent and look for constant government guidance like good sheep.

There are hundreds of videos in which people in positions of power, presidents, bankers, CEOs, are seen praising zionism (for example, simply look up Biden zionist) or kissing the wall. Much of congress has dual citizenship.
Further, simply look up who comprises the Council on Foreign Relations, Davos, World Economic Forum, Bilderberg, Tavistock, Trilateral Commission, Royal Institute…
These people have names (although they often change them to avoid the obvious jewry) such as Rosenthal, Schurr, Schumer, Greenspan, Yellen, Greenblatt, Rockefeller (originality Roggenfelder), Sharon, Disraeli, Roosevelt (originality Rosenvelt), Lehmann, Morgan, Loeb, Goldman, Sachs, Rothschild (originality Bauer), Warburg, Weinberg, Goldstein, Epstein…
I could go on and on. But so could you with just a cursory exploration. So clearly you’re either woefully profane, or perhaps a simple Hasbara troll. Either way, consider your statement to be addressed.

Greetings Heritic Jones:
Most people cannot see the forest for the trees. They cannot see that this long planned fake virus, fake test and fake numbers is just part of the Zionist plan to condition the livestock to be obedient sheep and to forfeit their natural rights out of the fear of a transparently ridiculous non existent virus. Most people have not considered that all of the countries that ordinarily cannot agree on hardly any subject were all primed and ready to rollout the fake virus like clockwork. They all had their fake PCR tests ordered way back in 2018.
This Zionist syndicate has controlled the executive in this country since the puppet actor Wilson in 1913. Trump’s top donors from the beginning were all Zionist Jews as was his Sec. of Commerce and former managing director of Rothschild Inc. Wilbur Ross who bailed the idiot Trump out of his personal debt of 1.2 billion. The senile self proclaimed Zionist Biden has worked for the Zionist syndicate for over 40 years while he and his family have enjoyed their sin for a season as all other Zionist politicians who sell out.
It makes no difference wether our shabbas goy politician are a fake Rep. or a fake Dem. liberal or conservative just so long as they support the aIPAC- ADL agenda of more socialist Zionist programs, bailouts for Black Rock and Goldman Sachs buddies on Wall St. by their banking cartel and total support for Yinnon plan of Greater Israel, no matter how much blood and treasure is sacrificed.
Some of the barnyard animals will finally see the truth when the herd is driven into the bankers U.N. Sustainable Development Initiative Agenda 2030. Just as Samual Adams tried to warn the colonists that the British would not change we are warning people today of a much more sinister and determined adversary. The shackles of the NWO can still be thrown off but it will soon be a much more arduous task when we are living the reality of the Zionists long planned technocratic Neo-feudal tyranny of permanent austerity and deprivation.

If infection rates didn’t go down, people wouldn’t take the vaccine.
