UK coronavirus daily cases pass 50,000 for first time since January
July 17, 2021

Britain has recorded more than 50,000 new daily coronavirus cases, the highest number since mid-January, according to official data released Friday.

The country reported another 51,870 coronavirus cases in the latest 24-hour period, bringing the total number of coronavirus cases in the country to 5,332,371, official figures showed.

The country also recorded another 49 coronavirus-related deaths. The total number of coronavirus-related deaths in Britain now stands at 128,642. These figures only include the deaths of people who died within 28 days of their first positive test.
The British government has confirmed that most COVID-19 restrictions in England will end on Monday as part of the final step or Step Four of England's roadmap out of the lockdown. But scientists have warned that lifting all restrictions at this stage could increase likelihood of dangerous variants.

England's coronavirus reproduction number, also known as the R number, stood between 1.2 and 1.4, meaning, on average, every 10 people infected will infect between 12 and 14 other people, according to the latest estimate by the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), a British government advisory body.

Meanwhile, the growth rate range of coronavirus is 4 percent to 7 percent, which means that the number of new infections is growing by between 4 percent and 7 percent every day.

As for vaccination, Imperial College London and Ipsos MORI have published their latest antibody surveillance report, which showed that almost 100 percent of people tested positive for antibodies 14 days after their second dose of the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccine.

Over 207,337 participants tested themselves at home using a finger prick test between May 12 and 25, tracking COVID-19 antibodies across England following either natural infection or vaccination.

Following one dose of either vaccine, the proportion of people testing positive for antibodies peaked at four to five weeks after first dose and then started to decline before rising substantially in those who had a second dose, according to the report.

The findings emphasize the need for everyone to get both doses of the vaccine to receive the best chance of protection against this disease as restrictions are lifted, the report also said.

"Results of this very large study show the substantial impact of the vaccination program on antibody positivity in adults.
However, coverage of vaccines is uneven with people in some groups and areas less likely to have been vaccinated.," said Helen Ward, Professor of Public Health at Imperial College London.

"It is concerning that people on low incomes, in deprived areas, some minority ethnic groups and in some public facing occupations such as hospitality, may remain relatively unprotected from future spread. We need to continue and intensify efforts to reach these groups with vaccination, and to ensure other protective measures are in place," said Professor Ward.
To bring life back to normal, countries such as Britain, China, Russia, the United States as well as the European Union have been racing against time to roll out coronavirus vaccines.

UK Covid cases surge by 51,870 in highest total since January - up 45% on last week
The figures come just days before England comes out of lockdown, with the majority of legal limits on distancing removed

16:09, 16 JUL 2021

Covid cases in Britain have surged by 51,870 - a rise of 45 per cent from a week ago.

Official data shows that 49 deaths were also recorded in the last 24 hours.

The figures come just days before England unlocks its society, with the majority of legal limits on distancing removed.

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are following different timetables.

A total of 48,553 infections were recorded on Thursday, across all the nations - the highest rise in six months.

But, announcing the move to the House of Commons, health secretary Sajid Javid said: "If not now, when?"

Chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty has struck a more cautious tone in contrast - and warned another lockdown could happen.

Speaking at a British Science Museum event, Professor Whitty underlined that epidemics are "either doubling or they're halving", adding: "And currently this epidemic is doubling. It's doubling in cases.

"It is also doubling in people going to hospital, and it's doubling in deaths."

He said that the doubling time for hospital cases was "around three weeks" and while the number of hospitalisations was "mercifully much lower", it was "not trivial".

He said: "We've still got over 2000 people in hospital, and that number is increasing.

"If we double from 2000 to 4000, from 4000 to 8000, to 8000 and so on, it doesn't take many doubling times till you're into very very large numbers indeed."

Professor Whitty added that medics could soon be faced with "scary numbers again", adding: "I don't think we should underestimate the fact that we could get into trouble again, surprisingly fast."

He added that more people could be fighting the disease in hospital "in five, six, seven, eight weeks' time", and went on: "They could actually be really quite serious... at that point if it looks as if things are not topping out, we do have to look again and see where we think things are going."

And Dame Sarah Gilbert, one of the scientists behind the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab, has warned life will not be able to return to normal until the world is vaccinated against Covid-19.

The professor of vaccinology at the University of Oxford's Jenner Institute, said that variants of the virus will continue to be a threat until more jabs are made and distributed to populations around the globe.

She said that although the vaccines available are effective against variants which are in circulation currently, there could be a "much worse situation" if rates of Covid-19 remain high in parts of the world.

She told the Full Disclosure podcast with LBC's James O'Brien: "I hope that we are now going to reach the position where it is recognised that vaccines are needed for everybody.

"They are needed in this country and they are needed for the whole world as well, and actually vaccinating the whole world is the best way to protect us.

"Because if we don't, then there will be new variants arising, and we will never get back to normality if we can't get everybody vaccinated."

Dame Sarah, who co-created the jab which has gone into the arms of tens of millions of people, stressed the importance of more vaccines being produced and distributed around the globe.

She added: "Because if we don't, the virus is going to continue to circulate and to mutate, and we won't be able to travel, and we may reach a point where the vaccines that are in use now are much less effective."

Having 45-50k cases a day and only 45-50 dead a day- In Britain a bit over 53% are fully vaccinated.

At the same time in Russia they have 25k cases and around 800 dead- that's with 14% of people being fully vaccinated.

You know in Australia especially Victoria we are back in Lockdown again for the fifth fcking time.

I will never forgive China for this.

I was looking foward to celebrating Bayram with my family and it got taken away again for the second time.

Our politicians are all clueless, hypocritical and incompetent idiots who only use the lockdown as an on and off switch while buggling the whole vaccine program.

But this virus should be blamed on China. They should own up to it.

First Australians cases were imported from US, this new variant came from India.

 

[kumata]

First Australians cases were imported from US, this new variant came from India.

But it all originated from Wuhan institute of virology & I am sure you know that Wuhan is in china. From there it spread across world via CCP volunteers who went asking for hugs in Italy and erstwhile in the name of racism.

Rest, all variants are just evolution of original wuhan aka chinese virus.

How do you explain that covid samples were found in sewer in Spain 10 months before Wuhan outbreak?

That proves nothing. Seems like only Chinese knew that Spain had Covid 10 months before everybody else.

It was reported by Spain, if you don't know it only shows how biased your media is, why it proves nothing?

Well, mind putting some reports here too. Unlike china, we don;t have a great firewall so media is as free as it;s anywhere in world except for china.

Or is it that some random news portal on CCP payroll published it beforehand and stayed hibernated so that bogey can be bought when needed. Apparently, Chinese were planning this for some time.

Coronavirus traces found in March 2019 sewage sample in Spain
Nathan Allen, Inti Landauro
JUNE 27, 2020 / 1:22 AM / A DAY AGO

MADRID (Reuters) - Spanish virologists have found traces of the novel coronavirus in a sample of Barcelona waste water collected in March 2019, nine months before the COVID-19 disease was identified in China, the University of Barcelona said on Friday.

The discovery of virus genome presence so early in Spain, if confirmed, would imply the disease may have appeared much earlier than the scientific community thought.

The University of Barcelona team, who had been testing waste water since mid-April this year to identify potential new outbreaks, decided to also run tests on older samples.

They first found the virus was present in Barcelona on Jan. 15, 2020, 41 days before the first case was officially reported there.

Then they ran tests on samples taken between January 2018 and December 2019 and found the presence of the virus genome in one of them, collected on March 12, 2019.

“The levels of SARS-CoV-2 were low but were positive,” research leader Albert Bosch was quoted as saying by the university.


The research has been submitted for a peer review.

Dr Joan Ramon Villalbi of the Spanish Society for Public Health and Sanitary Administration told Reuters it was still early to draw definitive conclusions.

“When it’s just one result, you always want more data, more studies, more samples to confirm it and rule out a laboratory error or a methodological problem,” he said.

There was the potential for a false positive due to the virus’ similarities with other respiratory infections.

“But it’s definitely interesting, it’s suggestive,” Villalbi said.

Bosch, who is president of the Spanish Society of Virologists, said that an early detection even in January could have improved the response to the pandemic. Instead, patients were probably misdiagnosed with common flu, contributing to community transmission before measures were taken.


Prof. Gertjan Medema of the KWR Water Research Institute in the Netherlands, whose team began using a coronavirus test on waste water in February, suggested the Barcelona group needs to repeat the tests to confirm it is really the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Spain has recorded more than 28,000 confirmed deaths and nearly 250,000 cases of the virus so far.

Well CCP pays well i Know

Is not it strange that article was written in June 2020 claiming virus found in 2019 in sewage. who knows !!!!!!!!!

Anyways , it could be a result of sample contamination as well & doesn't prove anything. Even if we agree for a second that it was there all along, it was the conversion of virus to bio weapon and deliberate / chance transmission to humans in WUHAN which resulted in whole pandemic. how i wish, china have better eating habits.

Fact check: Researchers found coronavirus in March 2019 wastewater; more study needed

Yes, it's true a Spanish research group says it has found coronavirus in wastewater samples predating the pandemic, however more studies are needed.

Or the virus had been around the world for quite sometime and China was the first country which identified the virus due to her nationwide comprehensive and advanced contagious disease monitoring system.

U gave me good laugh. Let me correct your statement.

the virus had been around the world for quite sometime

There is no evidence to this. The quoted article clearly says that sample could be contaminated. Subsequent testing did not showed any virus in future samples & except that sample, It vanished in thin air...

You still have not replied that why article was published in June 2020 for some thing which happened a year back.

and China was the first country which identified the virus due to her nationwide comprehensive and advanced contagious disease monitoring system.

Wuhan institute of virology was the Lab & china , the country which was doing research on various Bat viruses to make them more potent & which can be used as bio weapon on the world. There are multiple article to this effect with complete evidence including statements from Chinese scientists who fled to US fearing for their life.

So it was not "contagious disease monitoring system" but their inability to control it which led to this worldwide pandemic. despite knowing everything, they keep sending people from Wuhan to whole world to spread it with many Hugging sessions in ITALY and Europe by infected Chinese people.

In reallity she was VIRUS CARRIER spreading CCP virus.

Below shud be ur statement

Or the virus had been developed and spread via wuhan institure of virology and It;s infamous wet markets. CCP allowed air travel around the world for quite sometime to ensure it spreads to all corners of the world.

Covid samples also found in US, Italy and Brazil long before Wuhan outbreak, they were all contaminated?

 

[kumata]

You are good in Propaganda dude. All CCP bots are good at propaganda. Does't matter Where they were found ( your claims are laughable for sure) . What matters is pandemic started after lab leak from Wuhan .. thanks partly to Wuhan institure of virology & your went markets selling live animal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kumata]

Starting to show your true colours CCP bot .

Feeling is always mutual CCP payroll Bot. Only a CCP bot will say that i am a liar after reading my statements,

World Knows that CCP have unleashed this Bio weapon on world to fast track that world no 1 dream of eleven.
