Watch Professor Tim Spector of Zoe's latest briefing about the prevalence of Covid-19, the symptoms and what to do to avoid spreading it. Clearly, the government wants the public to think that it's all over, but that is anything but the case.

  • Covid cases in the UK have reached record heights and there are more than 350,000 new cases every day.
  • Among under 18s, one in ten has Covid!
  • Several variants are circulating concurrently, consequently if you've had Covid recently you can still get reinfected by another variant.
  • If you have symptoms of a cold, it is twice as likely that you have Covid than that you have a cold.
  • Commonest symptoms are: sore throat, headache, blocked nose, cough, runny nose.
  • If you have cold symptoms, you should keep away from other people, even if you've tested negative.
  • Wear an FFP2 mask on public transport or in crowded places, the worst places being airports.

“It does look as if the successive waves are getting closer together,” Prof Peter Openshaw, an immunologist at Imperial College London, said. “They are actually becoming more frequent, with one piling in on top of the other.”


A Guardian article looking at the current state of Covid in the UK:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/17/unexpected-changing-waves-covid-seasonal

"Rate of replacement of new variants has accelerated"

"infections of BA.4/BA.5 variants could occur as early as 28 days after recovery from a previous Covid-19 infection."

20 per cent of pupils off school, 8 per cent of teachers off

Ambulance services "on the point of collapse"

And yet the government says nothing and the general population understandably concludes that there's nothing to worry about, when there clearly is...

The irony is that it wouldn’t take that much to reduce transmission and to keep it at lower levels between waves. And there are ways we could be doing this that are not hugely disruptive to people’s lives. [/quote

The Independent has also published an article warning about Covid complacency:
