BREAKING: Another 1,243 people die with Covid as UK cases start to slow

Another 1,243 people have died with coronavirus in the UK, in one of the highest death tolls reported since the pandemic began.

Cases in the country dropped slightly to 45,533 cases in the latest 24 hour period – but experts will still be concerned that the daily figure remains so high. The grim figures mean the UK has now officially recorded 83,203 fatalities within 28 days of a positive test and 3,164,051 confirmed infections since the pandemic began.

There had been a decline in deaths over the weekend, as is often the case due to a lag in reporting, but the death toll has been averaging close to a 1,000 a day in the seven-day rolling average. Monday and Sunday saw a daily toll of less than 600, but before that there had been four straight days of more than 1,000 reported deaths.

Patients were aged between 24 and 101. All except 41, aged between 46 and 97, had known underlying health conditions.Cases are dropping slightly but still remain high In Northern Ireland, a further 22 deaths with coronavirus have been reported, bringing the region’s toll to 1,498.

Bullsh*t boots on the ground tell a different story(friends are Dr's, family members are nurses) people are dying, hospital's registering all death as C-19, more money for them, so crawl out of the governments ass, and tell the truth. The public deserves it.

Remove the technological infrastructure that's been installed and we will have no cases at all
