I welcome any information given that we now have to search for it instead of the government informing us regularly. Anyone would think that they want us to think covid has gone away hmm

Now now, please read what I said...

At time of writing the last seven days had had 700 deaths. I commented that this number would probably grow. And it has. However the 700 was in counterpoint to the 2,300 that the OP had mentioned.

Nobody's in denial.

4 of the days previous to the last 7 days had zero deaths reported because it was a holiday weekend. So the 2,300 includes late reporting of deaths which happened over that weekend.

Actual number of deaths in the last week by date of death instead of date of reporting: about 700. That number will probably rise.

Which week only had 700 deaths?

However you look at it (and, yes, there is a slight lag between deaths and reporting), there have been over 2000 deaths from Covid over the last 7 days, which doesn't include deaths after 28 days.

We are still being careful, wearing masks in the shops and limiting social contacts.

We have just had our second booster jabs which should give us more protection but nothing is gauranteed so I think that old folk like us still need to be careful to avoid infection.

We've got desensitized to news of deaths now.
It was so shocking in the beginning, but now it's everyday stuff.

Patients admitted to hospital with Covid down 14.1% from same website.

Just that really.
