Potential Coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms reported through NHS Pathways and 111 online (England)
If the pandemic didn't end in summer 2020, where is all the symptomatic COVID?
One of those things that puzzled me over a year ago and still does today is why more isn’t made of the syndromic surveillance systems we have in England1.
We’ve got systems for demand and attendance for:
Remote health advice;
GP in hours;
GP out of hours;
Emergency department; and
Ambulance.
In addition, we also have the special “Potential Coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms reported through NHS Pathways and 111 online”2 system.
You might actually think it deserves special attention because it is a measure of symptomatic disease rather than the somewhat less reliable test only.
Potential COVID-19 symptoms reported by members of the public to NHS Pathways through NHS 111 or 999 and 111 online, and is not based on the outcomes of tests for coronavirus.
But of course, that is soooo pre-2020!
I can’t help but wonder why it never got referred to by the thoroughly qualified erstwhile Minister for Health or the current one and never once got an appearance as “next slide, please” on the Twitty and Challenged comedy half-hour.
Perhaps because it shows that after May 2020, symptomatic COVID was rather lacking in epidemic quality?

Totally correct; NHS Covid Pathway and RCGP Surveillance data paint a completely different picture to that presented by the government.
It is interesting that the US has now ceased using PCR tests because they are unreliable and generate large numbers of false positives; the UK is determined to keep them front and centre for exactly the same reasons. For over 12 months, the government's entire narrative has been based upon fake cases generated by knowingly misused tests - a deliberately false narrative not supported by other data.
The government, aided by the media, has basically created a smokescreen using manipulated, falsified data (with new "variants" whistled up to create the scare factor).
This planning actually started early in 2021 as it was becoming evident that the impact of the vaccines was catastrophic (e.g. the 70% surge in weekly care home deaths in January alone following their targeting in December). Of course, the biodistribution studies would also been known about at that time, as would more complete trial data. That would have set alarm bells ringing in government.
Cover was needed particularly for any unseasonal increase in cases and deaths caused by ongoing vaccine roll outs - oh, look what happened after June, when the highly seasonal respiratory virus should have been close to dormant (which was the case according to NHS Pathway data, etc).
Just imagine, without the government falsifications and a compliant media, CV-19 could well have gone the same way as SARS. Instead, we are somehow stuck in this virtual world sustained by lies.
Wow! Numbers dropped off sharply. No wonder they stepped up testing numbers, which I've read is terrible strategy and discounted pre-'20
