As the Prime Minister warned that we are not in the end of the woods, the official data showed today that the number of covid deaths has returned to March’s levels in England and Wales. 

The virus was responsible for 995 deaths in two countries over the week ending November 5, according to Office for National Statistics. This represents the most deaths since March 12, 2021, when 1,501 people died.  

The number of deaths from the virus has been increasing over the last four weeks after the back-to school wave. However, they remain much lower than in previous peak periods due to the success of vaccines.

For example, the last time Britain was recording 40,000 daily infections was December 2020, and there were more than 500 daily deaths compared to around 150 now.

Boris Johnson, who has so far refused to succumb to pressure to go to Plan B. However, No10 believes that the booster rollout will prevent the NHS from falling prey to “unsustainable” pressure this winter. The NHS won’t need to be vaccinated or have to wear masks.

Yesterday’s PM acknowledged that there was no Christmas lockdown, and made an urgent plea to Britons to obtain their vaccines.

Today’s speech by Johnson to his Cabinet reiterated the loose threat that Johnson had made about the need for tougher winter action. 

Some 995 deaths registered across the two countries in the week ending November 5 were put down to the virus, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). This is the highest number since the week to March 12 (1,501) during the 2021 national lockdown

According to the Office for National Statistics, 995 people died in both countries during the week ended November 5. This was the highest number since the Week to March 12 (1,501) during the 2021 national lockdown. This number is higher than the 1,501 deaths recorded during the national lockdown of 2021, which occurred in the week ending March 12.

Boris Johnson claims he cannot rule out an Xmas lockdown

Boris Johnson, who admitted to last night that there was no Christmas lockdown in place, made an urgent plea to Britons for booster jabs. The UK’s Covid cases continued rising.

The PM — who appeared to be suffering from a cold — warned ‘storm clouds’ of infection were gathering over Europe and forcing nations back into restrictions, which highlighted how the UK ‘cannot afford to be complacent’. 

He said people should get a booster if they want to ‘avoid restrictions on daily lives’, adding that it would be an ‘utter tragedy’ if double-vaccinated people died from Covid because they didn’t get one. 

Johnson said that some people could need proof of booster vaccinations to be considered fully vaccinated in the future. This would cause chaos and disruption for Britons traveling plans. 

Britain was hit with another 39.705 daily coronavirus cases, almost a quarter of the previous Monday’s total. However, deaths and hospitalizations fell each week.

The PM — who appeared to be suffering from a cold when he addressed the nation in a Downing Street press conference yesterday — warned the crisis in Europe highlighted how the UK ‘cannot afford to be complacent’. 

He said people should get a booster if they want to ‘avoid restrictions on daily lives’, adding that it would be an ‘utter tragedy’ if double-vaccinated people died from Covid because they didn’t get one.

Britain was hit with another 39.705 daily coronavirus cases, almost a quarter of the previous Monday’s total. However, deaths and hospitalizations fell each week.

Today, 47 Covid victims were registered, which is down 18% from last week. The latest hospital data also shows that there were 976 admissions in November 9, a drop of 7.5%.

At a Downing Street press conference the PM warned that older people will receive a booster jab, and those in their 40s will have to be vaccinated. 

The PM was asked whether a lockdown might be needed if the number of cases continues to increase. He replied, “clearly, we cannot rule out” but insisted He did not see any data that indicated we should go.

The comments came after Austria announced a draconian new lockdown on the unvaccinated, after a dramatic increase in infections, and the Netherlands imposed a curfew on pubs and restaurants to deal with rising cases. 

The outbreaks in France, Germany and Italy are also on the rise. At the first Covid briefing for the month, the PM was joined by Patrick Vallance and Chris Whitty, his chief scientists.  

The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation approved booster vaccines for an additional 8 million Britons aged 40 and older. The Joint Committee on Immunisation and Vaccination approved the booster vaccines to be available for anyone who wished. Twelve m total top-up doses were already administered. 

The UK Health Security Agency published data today showing that those who receive a third dose of vaccine are 80 percent less likely to develop symptomatic Covid. 

While it has been difficult to quantify the effects on death and hospitalisations in this study, officials stated that they expect protection to be even higher.
