In the accounts presented by the regional secretary for Health and Civil Protection, which should be included in last month’s Epidemiological Surveillance Bulletin, which has not yet been made public, Madeira went from 14,730 new cases of covid-19 in June to 4,940 new infections identified in July, translating into a reduction of almost 67%. The decline in positivity in the asymptomatic network also contributed to these numbers, which dropped from 6.16 to 5.15.
The number of deaths also dropped, from 55 deaths associated with Covid-19 in June, to 35 deaths last month.
The average number of patients hospitalized in services dedicated to this disease also decreased from 81 to 51.
Covid: continued improvement in July
Pedro Ramos notes, therefore, that although last month there were many activities, concerts and gatherings, “the month of July continues to be a month of improvement compared to the previous month in the epidemiological surveillance of covid-19 and that gives us some security for the coming months and essentially for this August holiday month”.

Before any panic merchants kick off please note that tge article specifically says – “deaths associated with the infection ”
Associated with the infection not necessarily FROM the virus.
Deaths can be associated with more than one condition, meaning that more than one condition contributed to their death. It doesn’t mean to say that any one condition caused the death, but it also doesn’t mean that any one thing was not instrumental in their death. It may be that one condition was the final straw that hastened the death and that without it, the person could have gone on living!

A shame the remaining 59% were not vaccinated. If so the mortality figure would be much lower.
The one subject where Steve can legitimately bring up his rant about Covid Vaccines and what happens. No Steve, perhaps he’s taken Maurice’s advice and “buggered off to face Book.”
🤞fingers crossed
George, have you noticed both you and I got lots of thumbs down 😂😂 they can’t all be from Steve. Just think, all those people whose noses we got up but didn’t comment 🤣🤣
I’ve just discovered that, whereas if you tried to “click” a thumbs up or down more than once, it wouldn’t work. Now it does, so you can just keep on clicking and put in as many thumbs up or down as you like!
Clearly mischief is afoot, demonstrated clearly by the fact that opposing views all have significant numbers of thumbs down!
Bob, don’t take it personally, I gave your second comment a thumbs up and it went from one to three. I gave your first comment the same and it went from one to two. Giving a thumbs up to Carolines, mansplaining comment and she went from one to three. Statistics, eh.
Do you understand the definition of mansplaining?
A comment by a woman, explaining how a system has changed, to someone who may not be aware, as, indeed, she wasn’t until very recently, does not fit the definition!
Lighten up Caroline, it was supposed to be tongue in cheek and if anything a comment on men.
You little PUSSY George Nabbs 🤣😂🤣😂
Steve, after 57 years of marriage one learns when to disappear into the background.
