Our latest Covid wave may have peaked – and at a far lower point than expected

Figures suggest end of the third wave may be on the horizon, with virus infections largely falling since July 15

Just last weekend, Prof Neil Ferguson told the BBC it was "almost inevitable" that Britain would soon see 100,000 Covid cases per day and possibly even 200,000 daily infections.

For months now, modellers have been warning of a devastating summer spike that could exceed the highs of previous waves. Sajid Javid, the Health Secretary, asked the country to brace for six-figure daily infection numbers.

Yet there are early signs that Britain has already peaked – and has done so at a far lower point than anyone expected. On July 15, the country recorded 60,676 cases, and infections have been largely falling ever since.

Although daily case numbers can be erratic, the seven-day rolling average is telling the same story.

The slowdown began on July 19, when there was just a 1.7 per cent increase compared to 5.5 per cent the day before. The increase was smaller again the following day, at just 0.5 per cent, before falling by 2.6 per cent on July 22.

Official paper of independent sage.

You've got a real bee in your bonnet about SAGE, haven't you? This group is made up of a combination of some of the finest scientific minds in the UK, most of whom probably don't give a shit about politics, and you think they're some sort of doom mongers whose motivation is to exert control. Fact is that they've predicted the pattern of this pandemic fairly accurately so far, and far better than some of the Charlatons - e.g. Karol Sikora - who will tell you the news you want to hear as opposed to the uncomfortable truth that SAGE have had to deliver.

Independent.

Nice rant though.

It's not a rant, mate. I'm just pointing out that you dislike them because they sometimes tell you what you don't want to hear.

Wrong thread for this…….

Sorry

I saw the tag and didn’t see the thread title

My bad

Two different groups.

I see what you mean. SAGE and Independent SAGE aren't the same body. Still a bunch of highly-credible scientific minds without vested interest though.

Apologies all. I sometimes forget that this is the can't-handle-the-reality thread.

Day 8 after testing positive and I've just had a sausage sandwich and tasted it.

This isn't just GOOD news it's FANTASTIC news

It's a shame that this has to be reposted so regularly but there is very clear guidance as to the purpose of the thread in post #1. There is a MASSIVE thread for everything else in the sub-forum. And it's been separated not for any other reason than the pandemic has genuinely affected the mental health of millions. This way you get to choose what you read, what you contribute to and what you share. Many on here inhabit both.

So, let's be clear. The next person who makes a provocative statement on here will get a ban, not just from the thread but a few days off NSC.
