Total Number of Covid Deaths in English Hospitals Falls to One
Mon 10:34 am +01:00, 13 Jul 2020By / 13 July 2020
Carl Heneghan, the Professor of Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford, tweeted that there were no Covid deaths reported in hospitals in England on July 10th, but perhaps the data source he was checking hadn’t been updated because the NHS England statistics site is now showing six. But for July 11th, the total was just one. Won’t be long now before we do have a day on which no Covid deaths occur in England’s hospitals. I predict it will happen some time in the next seven days.
Round-Up
And on to the round-up of all the stories I’ve noticed, or which have been been brought to my attention, in the last 24 hours:
- ‘Man plans to sue NHS after cancer surgery delayed due to coronavirus‘ – Article in the Observer about a former senior NHS official who is suing the NHS after his prostate cancer treatment was postponed and he had to have a biopsy and a prostatectomy done privately

- ‘BYE STREET: 250,000 High Street jobs could be axed as more Brits shop online during coronavirus crisis‘ – The Sun reports that pre-pandemic online sales accounted for 30 per cent of non-food sales, but that is likely to rise to 40 per cent, which means hundreds of thousands of job losses
- ‘Scientists from the Wuhan virus lab have “defected” to the West, reveals senior Trump ally Steve Bannon – as FBI gathers evidence that coronavirus pandemic was caused by an accidental leak‘ – Huge if true
And Finally…
My sources in Downing Street tell me the red crayon belongs to Boris, the green one to Dominic Cummings and the blue one to Matt Hancock.
