Nearly two hundred and seventy thousand symptomatic cases recorded in a single day in Britain.

The ZOE Covid app is showing extraordinary infection figures for the UK. March 2022 is seeing the highest ever peak for Covid cases in Britain.

268,704 people reported themselves as being infected with Covid-19 to ZOE on the 16th March 2022.

The predicted number of ongoing Covid cases was 2,807,072 on the 16th March, higher than February’s peak of 2.68 million predicted cases, and higher even than December’s mega-wave of 2.75 million (predicted cases are higher than daily cases, as Covid-19 can take several days or weeks to run its course).

 

 

The UK official figures for weekly cases and hospitalizations are also showing an increasing trend:

 

but the lack of Covid testing in the UK now makes the official figures dangerously unreliable.

 

As you can see from the first image above, the UK is now seeing a major wave of Covid EVERY MONTH, and the waves are starting from a much higher baseline compared to the previous Delta waves of 2021.

The UK population now faces a future of an almost endless cycle of reinfections, steadily grinding away at the immune system of even the fittest members of society.

Unfortunately, following the much lauded Freedom Day less than one month ago, the management of Covid-19 in Britain has gone from risible to virtually non-existent.

The UK government may think it’s finished with Covid, but the virus certainly isn’t finished with the UK.
