As I keep saying...these figures are meaningless.

Who cares about how many people have tested positive for covid.
The only statistic that matters is the number of deaths, which is currently 58 a day


and dropping........look at the statistics for 'Weekly deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate by date registered'

Talk about trying to scare up a storm....

Former U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb called for “urgent research” into a mutation of the delta variant -- known as delta plus -- following a surge in Covid-19 cases in the U.K.

“We need urgent research to figure out if this delta plus is more transmissible, has partial immune evasion,” Gottlieb said in a tweet.

“There’s no clear indication that it’s considerably more transmissible, but we should work to more quickly characterize these and other new variants. We have the tools.”

Never understood why, 2 years down the road, Sunday statistics are still not up to date ??

IN addition, why oh why do they continue to bleat on about the numbers of positive cases !
Who cares !!!
It is only deaths related to covid that has any consequence.

Daily deaths with covid 19 on the death certificate currently 58 and reducing.

Scientists have urged the UK government to impose fresh coronavirus restrictions in England over winter, as high hospital admission and fatality rates outstrip the rest of western Europe.

The UK’s weekly death rate stands at 12 per million, three times the level of other major European nations, while hospitalisations have risen to eight Covid-related admissions a week per 100,000 people, six times the rate on the continent

Oil price not helping

[bountyhunter] 18/10/2021 11:17

The death rate is down to 57 because it's a Sunday update although clearly the vaccine is having a very beneficial affect considering the infections rate.

[investtofly] 17/10/2021 23:10

But how many cases of FLU are in those figures?

[reviewwworld] 17/10/2021 17:57

It's a really good covid update. Death rate remains incredibly low despite higher cases, confirms vaccine efficacy and why any notion that restrictions are returning must be quashed. Travel stocks still trading at significant discount based on risk of return to lockdown but the more data that comes out the more I'm convinced we are approaching the moment the sector is going to properly surge higher

UK records highest jump in Covid cases since mid-July
UK records 45,140 Covid cases

The UK recorded 45,140 new positive Covid cases on Sunday, the highest jump in new cases since mid-July.

This takes the total cases for the last seven days to 300,081 – up 15.1% on the previous week.

A further 57 people died within 28 days of a positive test, taking the figure for the last seven days to 852 deaths – up 8.5% on the previous week.

Hospital admissions: 915
First vaccine doses: 23,706
Second vaccine doses: 32,983
This is the fifth consecutive day new cases have clocked in above 40,000. New reported cases fell slightly in early last month but have grown steadily since mid-September.

Errrrrmmm..why would a big sell off be coming, when the US has just opened up and BA has a big market in the US ?

[glavey] 16/10/2021 02:22

Given the dilution and the debt isn't this getting a bit too frothy again.

[tomtum1] 16/10/2021 00:36

Dave cases rising hence why some travel fell. I agree. Big sell off coming.
