It’s Already December and the British Government Has Decided to Barely Test People for COVID-19

Dec 8 2022 COVID-19

Is the ‘end’ of COVID-19 a political decision, coordinated partly from above by defunding and neglect?

“People tested positive in England,” according to this evening’s numbers (released minutes ago), are numbered at 23,216 for the past week.

Does anyone seriously think so few contracted COVID-19? No. Many of us still know people who not only get infected but also reinfected.

Looking at the lab-based COVID-19 tests conducted (England), here is the number of tests per day:

07-12-2022 7,646

Notice how it has fallen to like a quarter what it was just months month ago.

Compare to the first week of December 2021:

07-12-2021 553,722
06-12-2021 486,459
05-12-2021 476,058
04-12-2021 503,124
03-12-2021 585,529
02-12-2021 555,481
01-12-2021 556,367

And the first week of December 2022:

07-12-2020 188,281
06-12-2020 209,309
05-12-2020 265,016
04-12-2020 278,014
03-12-2020 288,355
02-12-2020 262,352
01-12-2020 244,789

Lies, damn lies, and statistics. COVID-19 hasn’t gone away in any meaningful way. We just stopped testing and there’s no prospect of eradication anymore. Excess deaths across England remain very high.

Other testing methods are also down considerably.
