Covid is in retreat: cases down in EVERY region of UK
Coronavirus cases are down in every region of England and fewer people over the age of 80 are catching the virus than ever, official data revealed today — as the UK’s daily Covid deaths and infections remained flat.
Public Health England’s weekly Covid report found just 6.3 per 100,000 people in the most vulnerable age group caught the disease in the week ending April 25, the lowest since surveillance data began last June. The infection rate among over-80s peaked at 623 in mid-January.
For over-60s, the rate was 9.1, down from 9.9 the week before and a high of 454 at the peak of the second wave. Both lockdown restrictions and vaccines — which were given to the elderly first — have helped turn the tide on the crisis.
Every English region also saw falls in cases in the past week — despite millions more tests being deployed — with the lowest rates recorded in the South West (14.2), South East (17.2) and the East of England (20.5).
Meanwhile, the Department of Health’s daily update revealed there were 2,445 cases in the past 24 hours and 22 deaths, with infections down 10 per cent from a week ago and deaths up slightly on the 18 last Thursday.
Latest figures show another 462,000 second and 134,000 first vaccine doses were dished out on Tuesday. It means more than 34million Britons have had at least one dose and 14m have been fully vaccinated.
Experts said the UK was moving out of the Covid pandemic and into a situation that was much more manageable after separate figures showed the number of people falling ill across Britain is also at a record low.
But despite a plethora of evidence showing the virus is firmly in retreat, England faces at least seven more weeks of restrictions. June 21 has been earmarked as the earliest possible date that most curbs can be lifted.
The country’s largest symptom tracking study estimated just 757 people are getting sick with Covid every day in England. Across the whole of the UK, it is believed to be 1,046. Infections have never been lower, even compared to last summer when lockdown rules had been lifted and the virus was in retreat, according to the study which launched in May last year.
Professor Tim Spector, the King’s College London epidemiologist who runs the study, praised the ‘consistent low levels‘ of Covid and said: ‘It’s a great position to be in.‘ He claimed the findings ‘signal that we’re moving from a Covid pandemic to Covid becoming endemic in the UK‘.
Professor Karol Sikora, a medical expert at the University of Buckingham, told MailOnline the pandemic would be declared over now if the Government hadn’t been ‘frightened by messages from the Government‘.
Meanwhile, Test and Trace figures show infections fell by nine per cent in the week up to April 21, despite 600,000 more swabs being carried out. Out of 5.1million tests, just 16,776 were positive — the lowest weekly total since last September.
The positive data add to the continuing huge success of the vaccine rollout, which scientists have found is cutting transmission of the virus and keeping people out of hospital. Almost 70 per cent of England has Covid antibodies, separate figures revealed yesterday.
According to the King’s study, the current risk of getting infected with Covid in Britain is one in 45,000 — and just one in 100,000 in vaccinated people.
It came as Matt Hancock received his first coronavirus jab this morning after the vaccine programme opened to people aged 42 this week. The 42-year-old Health Secretary was given the jab by England’s deputy chief medical officer Professor Jonathan Van-Tam at the Science Museum in London.
Despite yet more promising signs in official Covid data, No10 is still not giving way on its roadmap, saying it was still not a case for opening up the country sooner than planned.
But vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi said England was on track for a ‘further’ reopening of the economy on May 17 — when pubs and restaurants will reopen for indoor service and foreign travel resumes.
Earlier this week another minister suggested that restrictions on funerals could ease as part of a greater unlocking in the next stage of the roadmap. Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey said stringent funeral rules were under ‘careful consideration’. At the moment a maximum of 30 mourners can attend and they have to socially distance.
Mr Zahawi also insisted the country was on track to come out of lockdown as planned on June 21, when all legal limits on social contacts are set to be abolished. But critics say life will not fully return to normal because masks, mass testing and Covid passports will likely play a key role in daily life.

Life will not be worth living if masks become a feature of our lives. This will be mass control of our behaviour for no valid reason, except we will be living in tyranny.

Guess what? It’s summer. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is anything about human intervention. This all would have happened even if we had done nothing…

The long planned fake virus is like the Club of Rome’s “climate change” (formerly global warming) are fear campaigns of manufactured invisible emergencies by the Zionist elite for the purpose of inducing the goyim to give up their liberties out of ignorance and fear. What can be said of a herd of livestock that are no more than docile barn yard animals to be managed on the global Zionist plantation? It is no wonder that the U.N. bankers have prepared a place for them all. It is called The Sustainable Development Initiative Agenda 2030-21. There is a precursor system in place now in China called the Total surveillance total control system, euphemistically referred to the social credit score.

I wonder if Mr. Hancock will have the same results as the health minister of India?

Greetings Herb:
No doubt if someone already has an inflammatory condition as the dumbass in India did, they will be more susceptible to further oxidation and intrusions from the injected blood poison. Hancock may be a true believer, a Zionist operative such as Boris Johnson and Fauchi (and almost all other political operatives) and it may be that he did not really take the injection. They have the fake injections now for the press coverage.
The fake PCR test can can be cycled however the medical lab shills are instructed by the Zionist health agencies to get the ore determined ratio of “infections” required at the moment. As more cucks get the injections then obviously the cycles will need to be lowered even though the test is totally meaningless. When the stresses of colder weather return along with the advent of more sheep with the “vaccine” damaged immune systems there will be “new strains” that bring the numbers back up. The Zionists know that the herd has to be moved slowly into the agenda 2030-21 corral. If you try to drive the cattle too fast they will often turn and scatter. You have to stop now and then and let them just stand there awhile before moving on. Thats What the elite will do with the human barnyard animals.
