I don't think they can. The temporary provision covered by the covonavirus act 2020 expired on 25th March 2022. Any legislation brought in would have to go through a full act of parliament procedure. At least in England

I completely forgot to look back at this data when it became available, and as much as I suspected, Daily deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate by date of death 7 day average on the 21st April was 148.4. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths

It sounded like it: Instead he celebrated at home "dancing around the living room with a beer".

Surprised this bit of news hadn't made on to here yet? Covid mask rules relaxed for EU air travel Face masks will no longer have to be worn on flights and in airports in EU countries from next Monday, according to new official guidance. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-61413015

Like I said, would like to compare to ONS data when it catches up. That has only just got to the end of March. Now if you do not mind, I would like to enjoy the rest of my time in Portugal. :p

It will be interesting to compare it to the ONS data when it catches up to see how many died with covid mentioned on their death certificate.

Obviously didn't read the full report. :rolleyes: "However, scientists stress there is now substantial immunity in the human population against both variants and there is no reason to think this will pose a danger to vaccines." & "And Dr Van Kerkhove added in the places where "Deltacron" has...

Yeah! I got the wrong end of the stick from something I saw on a clip from BBC News on Twitter but then couldn't find it again where they mentioned the 70%, but upon finding this tweet from John Roberts, the line is closer to a 40% divergence on current numbers (although this could still change...

Latest ONS statistics on death (usually delayed by up to three weeks max) are showing that up to as many as 40% have tested positive in the last 28 days but the certificate does not mention Covid as an underlying cause, and this gap is getting wider. These figures used to tie in fairly...

Things are looking good thanks to vaccines and omicron now. The way I look at it, the virus would need three key elements of change/mutation for it to be a worry, and as with the triangle of fire, removing one of those elements would see any mutation not get the upper hand on us. 1st key...

I would class myself as obese at the minute (luckily don't have diabetes though), yet (apart from drinking at most 2-3 cans of beer per night, and maybe one-two take-aways per month) have a healthy varied diet cooking the majority of my meals from scratch. My issue is exercise, or rather very...

The data is only released quarterly by the ONS but up until the end of December 2021, with Delta (slowly being pushed out at the end by omicron) it was Diabetes. These are the top ten conditions...

That's actually pretty close to how it is with Covid-19. You are at your most infectious in the period immediately leading up to being symptomatic, and then starts to decrease. It's now widely believed in the scientific community that by the time an infected person was requiring hospital care...

From a dementia care home perspective, the one my other half works in had one of the staff she works with, fairly closely, test positive last week. Only one resident has since tested positive and no more of the staff have despite testing daily since, and the resident has been fine regarding...

This old chestnut again? :rolleyes: While the average age is 17 years younger than the UK, you have to remember that any demographic advantage the population might have in terms of battling Covid is outweighed by poor health. The fact is that South Africa has got a much more susceptible...

The key metric to take into account at the moment will be the Daily deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate by date of death. The unfortunate thing is that is always about 3-4 weeks behind. The last time this figure was even above 200 as 6th March 2021

The UK has seen 17,371 deaths from where there are no other underlying causes involved (to the end of September 2021). https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/deathsfromcovid19withnootherunderlyingcauses?s That mean the remaining 146,512 deaths during...

You obviously completely ignored my post yesterday explaining the increase in covid admissions. So just for you, here it is again: It's not a worry if they are incidental cases where they don't need any treatment whatsoever for Covid.

Are large numbers of them getting severely ill? Are they being admitted to Hospital? Are they requiring oxygen or worse ventilation? Are they dying? Stopping infection would have been a massive bonus from the vaccine, but they are doing their primary job. Stopping large numbers of the above.

Around 80% of English hospital admissions with coronavirus are admitted for other reasons. This is not the same disease we were seeing a year ago. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/12/28/covid-hospital-data-should-treated-caution-many-patients-admitted/ Treat data with caution, say experts...
