U.K. Records Just Seven Covid Deaths – Down 75% in a Week

by Toby Young
1 May 2021 5:56 PM

Coronavirus deaths in the U.K. have fallen by three-quarters after just seven deaths were revealed today. MailOnline has more.

While last Saturday 15 people in the UK died of coronavirus, today the Government announced seven deaths, demonstrating a steady decline in fatalities.

It comes after Office for National Statistics data suggested the total number of infections is lower than at any point since early September and infections have been falling constantly for five weeks.

Experts said the data “should be celebrated” and were the first proof that, despite the reopening of outdoor hospitality and allowing the rule of six earlier this month, there was still “no evidence of an increased transmission risk”.

Worth reading in full.

With and within 28 days I expect, they’ll be giving you a shot if you go into A&E with a broken leg soon, they can’t even spread it in a grubby hospital anymore. Amazingly Bozo said the vaccine wasn’t the reason, we know it’s gone away naturally, lower cycles etc. I wonder what he game is? He can’t claim victory after that comment and there’s no fear to be had anywhere… Maybe they are preparing the next triple mutant batch for Autumn.

Yes, almost certainly something rather nasty will be brewed up for the autumn. And I would guess that Boris was probably only inadvertently right about the “vaccines” while rather more true to form he was hopelessly wrong about the lockdowns.

Of course, they really intend lockdowns to be a permanent feature of the future or what’s left of it, so there will be the usual barrage of propaganda concerning regular booster shots aimed at those stupid enough to risk the terminator “vaccines”.

”Wrong”? ”Right”? Do you think he actually knows the difference? Or cares?

I think there is a good chance that the “vaccine” is likely to be the cause of what is coming next. Either through ADE or through the leaky “vaccine” helping the virus to become more virulent. Of course they will never own up to that, so it helps to force 100% “vaccination” to avoid comparison to a control group (us).

With increased stress, forced isolation of the healthy into Summer and all the rest of it, it’s perfectly possible that there will be more deaths in winter. I suppose they’re still pretending vitamin D doesn’t protect against viruses? Disgrace.

A couple of this crotchety old bugger’s queries :

“Experts said”

‘Who?’ and Who says they’re ‘experts’?

then –

What is the point of comparing a single day’s nebulous figures with another day – even if it works in the sceptics’ favour? This sort of meaningless bit of data can just as easily work in the opposite direction. It’s trends and overviews that count.

Don’t play the game.

P.S. That bar chart makes the 2020 peak less than that of January 2021. That’s simply inaccurate.

lol – yes I agree it does at times get very tiresome – I feel like we keep going around in circles here – I’ve looked at so many graphs over the past year that they are beginning to look alike to me and they don’t seem to be making a blind bit of difference no matter how compelling they are – so now that I think we have more than proved that this is a corrupt government that is up to no good what we now need are some high profile arrests and Nuremburg-style trials.

The seven are “reported” deaths – they may not have occurred yesterday and other deaths won’t have been reported yet.

The 75% fall in number twixt yesterday and the Saturday therefore is unlikely to be the case

Last January if you focused on “reported” deaths you could have got figures that exaggerated the increase in mortalities. Now that deaths are declining a comparison such as been made here almost certainly exaggerates the decline.

The fear mongers have played fast and loose with with figures, their example should not be followed.
