Back to football today. Let’s pack a million people inside tightly-occupied stadiums with little breathing space.

When the national debt was about 150 billion pounds, not 2.4 trillion pounds (an increase no less than 16 times in just over 32 years)

Yesterday’s disclosed figures only run until the 24^th of July (except for England), so let’s compare analogous periods (July 1-24) in 2020, 2021, and 2020. Hospitalisation means that something went very wrong. It also compensates for the artefact of “under-testing” — a growing problem as people don’t report infections and mostly keep that to themselves, unless or until they come to the hospital.

We’re fast approaching one millions hospitalisations, having already surpassed 200,000 deaths.

The main difference is, the government became indifferent and the weekly mortality reports have not been issued in nearly a month.

To put things in perspective, on 11-07-2022 no less than 2,005 people were admitted to hospital with COVID-19, compared to 3,008 in the whole of July 2020.

Infection is not without long-term harm.

In the news (NIH):

Small NIH study reveals how immune response triggered by COVID-19 may damage the brain

A study from the National Institutes of Health describes the immune response triggered by COVID-19 infection that damages the brain’s blood vessels and may lead to short- and long-term neurological symptoms. In a study published in Brain, researchers from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) examined brain changes in nine people who died suddenly after contracting the virus.

There is nothing “normal” about this…

As per the figures released an hour ago (the data is only released once a week now):

That’s daily. About 50,000 more deaths this past year. Here’s weekly (now over 200,000 in total, for the first time):

Compare to 2021:
