Imperial College London research suggests rates may have risen over the first 10 days of the third lockdown.

Levels of coronavirus in the community may have risen over the first 10 days of the third lockdown, a representative sample of people in England suggests.

The Imperial College London researchers say there "was no strong evidence" of these high infection levels decreasing.in the number of lab-confirmed cases reported daily by the government. They admit there is some uncertainty in their data amid a "fast-changing situation" but conclude health services will remain under extreme pressure.

But director of the Imperial College London programme Prof Paul Elliott said the third lockdown was not having the same impact as the first, in April.

That’s probably because Early Years settings are still open to all...as well as a mile long list of apparent ‘key workers’...

If we are in lockdown how comes so many infections. We are not in lockdown only some industries and the children what is not fair ! It will be never ending for some and some confine to live there life’s as normal !

Let’s lockdown forever and kill everyone. Stay at home and die. Then there will be no more infections...

Does someone in your organisation read the feedback to your reporting?

Stop playing along, stop blaming each other and stop shaming. It's nobodies fault but the Government and they know it.

Time to block this bullsh*t establishment 🙀

You sure? Really really sure ?

Maybe it’s because of the fraudulent testing:

That 'report' has been trashed, they stopped gathering data during the peak, all other indicators are down. It's time you lot did some investigative journalism and exposed how poor some of their work is. Here's a significant story for you to not report on.

BBC “news” the figures used by this study are already out of date. Incidence rate has been falling for a week and yesterday saw the first drop in the rate of hospital admissions. Please stop scaremongering

So lockdowns don't work then?!

How can we trust any information on the Pandemic when there are constant changes that question the validity of previous key information. Not to mention its just more bad news killing that small grain of earlier optimism. Get it right the fist time. Report facts.

Seems pretty simple really , lots of people infected 3 weeks ago , so we then have a lockdown, those people infected are then in houses with others who they infect hence the rate doesn’t decline till those infected households have caught covid. Then we see a fall

So are lockdowns really working then?

IF THIS IS TRUE WE MUST KEEP THE BORDER INTO/OUT OF SCOTLAND CLOSED

A cousin with terminal cancer was admitted to hospital this month and caught Covid in the hospital before she died. Her death will appear as a Covid death. Just an example of how fake the Covid death figures are.

So we were lied to yesterday?

We are all wearing masks, self isolating, the pubs are closed, travel is banned, shops are closed, schools are closed, universities are closed and yet the numbers are rising so what the hell is going on! Something isn’t right here!!

What about the Zoe app?

Over party soon fans bk home games April full july and virus zoe app is accurate lockdown is pushing it down imperial aint accurate and last ever lockdown is flattening and r is low

Yes there is plenty evidence

Follow the scientific evidence: Lockdowns are ineffectual and hideously expensive so stop doing them

Le bolloux... or is it La bolloux? Here's the truth ⬇️⬇️

So let's end bloody lockdown now and get back to normal. 🤷

People must still be gathering in private homes... how can yiu actually catch it if you play the rules.... At least when public in door places where open people kept distance and played the game!

Data from Zoe app timspector may disagree with above and also the daily charts are going down. So who is right ? Who can the public trust ? Why is manipulated data presented to government to help them justify further restrictions ?

So those masks are working then? Perhaps they are making it worse?

Lockdown not working then? Or just winter?

Testing is down and more people are dying all due to a fake lockdown. This lockdown isn't strict enough and there's too many industries open putting more strain on NHS and schools, the only industries closed are anything that involves having fun. Lockdown properly to reduce this

WTF BBC? Tweet - 'No evidence virus levels decreasing.' Page links to title: Cases might have gone UP in January. Second paragraph says researches think that's BS. Then show a graph of the numbers going DOWN! Are you guys being deliberately shit at your job?

“No Evidence virus decreasing” screams alarmist BBC headline. Yet there’s plenty of evidence...

'MAY'.....quite an important word in that sentence!

Y not report this

'Ministers say the Imperial College London report does not yet reflect the impact of the national lockdown in England. '

This is a hugely misleading headline. The report states the Imperial College data does not yet reflect the new lockdown. DefundTheBBC

No reduction in virus levels, but Zoe app shows 40% drop in symptomatic cases. Does this suggest more non symptomatic cases?

Can't believe the BBC is the only news outlet that missed the scoop of 23 elderly patients dieing shortly after taking the Pfizer vaccine in Norway. Here's me thinking the msm are not interested in controlling the nations thoughts 🤷🏾‍♂️

The headline of this article is NOT representative of its content yet again...whilst this on its face looks troubling this requires far more balance and investigation - after almost a year I should no longer be surprised 🙄

Yawn. Time to let those scared of their own shadow stay locked away, forever if they so wish and have the means to do so, for everyone else, it's time to get back to living.

Thats ok. Our kids will suffer for ever and financially most of us are screwed but keep having lockdowns that dont work. I have sympathy with people who go to work still as they know that rishi is waiting to turn the knife. People are thinking about after this

Well they won't because first lockdown only essential workers were at work now the whole country is at work apart from shops gyms pubs etc

Everyone wears masks, social distances. It’s all bullshit

I hope crimbo was worth it......Easter is coming up, shall we give finishing everyone else of a go🤔

This is BS, the ZOE Covid study APP also shows a steady DECREASE, they are losing their grip, this ‘news’ is purely designed to try and frighten people to staying in isolation.

ChinaLiedMillionsDied

But but that fake news Zoe app is trying to convince everyone it’s well on the way down

Smokescreen bollocks from rotten ol auntie beeb

What lockdown , people cramming to garden centers to meet there friends

And vaccine needs updating. Does that mean 3.4 million need to start again?

Tories are not serious to enforce the rules even after 100 thousand deaths. England is needed enforcement officers everywhere to deal with the stubborn people.

UK need stricter lockdown, it is not enough.

Not surprised given the roads seem as busy as pre lock down in my area. On the other hand this current crappy weather is keeping people from traveling to the coast so that might help.

What lockdown? First lockdown the streets were empty. This lockdown it's like any other day. People and cars everywhere.

Waiting on the new survival rate since last one was around 99%..

Scaremongering again ffs.

thank you for your never ending supply of pessimistic incomplete news. I really do not know, what would I do without you...

Worth following. Does Imperial have the best record though? If accurate, assume it's a mixture of one of the worst periods for respiratory illness anyway (yes, manmade measures only do so much) & in some specific cases, people consolidating the virus in households after lockdown.

Virus levels would rise wouldn’t they for first 10 days of any lockdown as that is the length of incubation period...many people would have gone into lockdown asymptomatic at the very start of their infection, developed it and passed it on to others in the household.

Well I for one need to pay my mortgage so we need to get back to work

There is no evidence of a lockdown either. There is no evidence of intelligent life in parliament. There will be evidence that less people died than yesterday one day. More covid infections than 5 years ago. Not sure the statement means a lot TBH.

Thought all the people getting the vax would help

But none of us have left our homes. Seems lockdowns aren’t working.

which would have been within the 14 days incubation from the Xmas Day crew ... so quite expected and NOW its going down so shusshh

We need to step up our response to this ongoing crisis, with thousands dead, hospitals overstretched businesses devastated and families in poverty this is a national embarrassment for the Gov't and our elected officials... We need a leader who can step up - or step down COVID19

No evidence a virus exists. 1. Virus never isolated. 2. PCR not designed to test for infectious disease. 3. PCR running at 45 cycles! 4. Asymptomatic transmission is a myth. 5. 900 Deaths per 100,000, in 2020, 0.899% of population. Ranks 35th highest rate of the last 50 years.

I'll take only indian Vaccine that is safest, cheapest vaccine and seems to be effective on all types of Covid virus according to current researches.

'Facebook mobility data' 🤨

'No evidence', other than consistently falling number of cases being reported over the past 10 days or so

I think there is plenty of contrary evidence to this!

You better get those PCRTests back out then!!

Masks are causing the problem, have you watched ppl touching them reusing the whole day? No wonder they are infecting themselves. Masks are a petri dish and a false sence of security

Biden does miracles

Might be an idea to read the report. The sample dates were at start of December (as cases were starting to rise) and start of January - cases are up between those two dates. It doesn’t say anything about mid-December and now and notes they may have missed the December peak.

There is if you turn off your TV's.

sunnydaze2504 Positive test are down over the last few days. Is that not evidence?

thanks for this news

God help our bless UK 🙏♑️✝️

So the lockdown and masks working well then

Now now , Children, Stop Arguing !!!

Can't think why, Merry Christmas by the way.

200 left-wing protesters are on the streets in Portland right now, with anti-Biden and anti-police messages. 'We are ungovernable,' one sign says.
