Falling COVID case rates could be due to children and young people no longer being tested at school, as opposed to an easing of the pandemic

The ONS estimate is built on random testing of the population, as opposed to the government's reliance on people who are taking tests proactively - including those worried they are infected, children, and people who require a negative test for travel or work.- a rise of more than 14% on the previous week.

State schools in England and Wales broke up around 22 July, while independent schools finished a week or two earlier.For the seven days from 29 May, the start of half-term, an average of 673,229 tests were carried out per day. "This will certainly make modelling the infection into the winter and the flu season virtually impossible, with any accuracy."

This is proper proper weird now. Like, to the point where it’s just blatant clickbait to artificially inflate engagement. That’s really sad, isn’t it. Truly, terrifyingly, bad.

Crikey, has it taken people this long to work that out?

N.S.S 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

My god you can't say anything positive can you, and continue your biased, poor reporting.

Pathetic 'journalism'.

Any excuse to keep this going hey sky

Sky journalism at it’s best, less tests less positives 🙄 do they not realise that’s what other countries have been doing to get their numbers down? Just look at Germany & France very low testing now.

You only just realised this ? I’ve been saying it since they broke up for the holidays . I’m at home with covid and also have leukaemia. Freedom day for me was a potential death sentence ! It’s no picnic .

Gosh. Endless doom and fear mongering. This News service is making it up as they go along.

Aww is someone upset cases are going down? 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

Sky : “Ignorant masses , please remain terrified for the time being, thank you. Message ends.”

No sh+t Sherlock ....

No shit sherlock

CDC says the more vaccinated the more infections likely to be the vaccinated.. the vaccine is pushing the infections.. so if the vulnerable are still vulnerable because the vaccine doesn’t work as well on them.. and there is alit of people vaccinated in the Uk!!!

givepeoplespace Desperate aren't you? Or it could be that cases are just falling.

In other news; Bears shit in the woods. Can I get £144 a year from everyone who reads this?

Gee, d'you think?

Fear porn from a ScumMedia ... you really should be embraced to publish this bullshit

This theory has already been disproved. Stop the relentless cycle of fear.

When o when are the MSM going to stop following like zombies the agenda ? Everyday , day after day they post who is ill who has died and who is responsible ( unjabs like me ) . Did there used to be a daily count of 'flu , diabetes , etc ? No ! Stealth

Oh shuuuutt upp.
