  2. Not surprised at all I’m visiting my mother in Madeira and must of the tourists and some locals not using the masks at all and not respecting any rules and social distance . But I’ m and my family are fowling the rules independent what people think .

  3. It would be interesting to know what age groups they are and whether they were vaccinated. My guess is that they were mosty under 30 and unvaccinated.

  5. The key stats now are not infections but hospital admissions. Given that the virus will be around for the foreseeable future it’s all about living with it and mitigating the propensity of the virus to cause serious illness. As we all know, the serious consequences of this virus are not limited to its direct effects. Balancing the economic consequences which tip into long term physical and mental health issues with management of Covid through the ongoing vaccination programme will be critical. I think the Madeiran authorities are doing a pretty good job.

    2. Yes, absolutely correct.

      If testing wasn’t used as an indication of “cases”, but the number of hospitalised with serious symptoms was used, there would be NO pandemic anywhere.

      Unfortunately it’s endemic, and it will be the reason some people die , the same as flu, every year.

      Zero covid is an impossible dream, letsvthe world go back to normal now

    3. I couldn’t have put it better myself. Living in fear is not the way I want to live my life.
      I was heading for our Post Office yesterday with mask under my chin ready to pull it up before entering. As I approached a lady fully masked flattened here self up against a building and muttered something as I past her at least 2 meters away. Each to their own I suppose..

  6. Nice to hear that still small voice of calm. Why don’t we wait for the weekly analysis then. look at the 7day average.

  7. Older double jabbed can not only test positive, they can die. An acquaintance of mine in England died 2 weeks ago aged 64, double jabbed, caught Covid 19.
    The long term effects on physical and mental health of Long Covid are enormous and they are with us now.
    Isabel is right. If only people would wear masks and socially distance, as they are supposed to do, the transmission rate would be cut down significantly.

  8. Whilst everyone should be socially responsible in their actions, the positive cases here in Madeira are moving down the age scales in line with the timings when those groups had their vaccinations. The positive news for us is both the high numbers of completed vaccinations in the higher age groups and also for those in the younger categories who are getting their first jabs. Don’t be that surprised in October when the third jab begins to roll out.

  9. I think the statement NO pandemic anywhere is utterly false. This is the kind of comment that would be taken down on other sites.
    Ex Président Trump also believed that if there would be no testing there would be no pandemic. Here we are with more than 10 million dead in the world in little over a year. What did they all die from? The flu???.
    How many millions suffer from post Covid?? How suffer lifetime disability from post flu???

    1. WHO reports 4.35 million deaths from Covid over 18 months, not 10 million in the last year. If you are going to continue to post apocalyptic sensationalist nonsense Richard at least get the stats right.

  10. Isreal covid news.
    The information I read from Israel who leads the way on vaccinated people says that they are now seeing a serious increase in cases.
    They are now vaccinating over 50s with a booster because of the serious consequences they foresee.
    So what hope have we in Madeira when the majority of tourists just don’t bother with masks along with a small % of portugese.
    The masks main use is to prevent the spread to others, so those who don’t comply with the legislation, are selfish people, I’m alright jack.

    1. I think we are just all going to die of Covid in Madeira. If Covid does not kill us, the barking dogs will. Either way, there is no hope. We are doomed! Doomed I tell you!

    2. If masks are so effective, why have so many countries stopped the enforced wearing of them? We have to live with the virus and not try to defeat it. It will always be around. Masks in most situations are pointless. Are you a member of the mask police Dave?

  11. MADEIRA REGISTERS 45 NEW CASES OF INFECTION AND 14 RECOVERED

    MADEIRA HAS NOT REGISTERED SO MANY CASES IN ONE DAY SINCE MARCH 17

    Two different headlines for the same story. The first headlines attracts no comments, the latter, 16 to date. The power of the media.

  12. Ye Gods what a cheerful bunch of bast*rds! ? The way some of you are going on you would think there were bodies building up in the streets as people drop dead like flies!

    Get real people. The situation is NOT as bad as it was at times last year. As long as people get their jabs they should be ok. And as for booster jabs, it is starting to look like those of us who had two doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine 12 weeks apart may not need a booster for THREE years due to the high T-cell counts we have developed.

  13. Maurice, Wake up, it’s still alive and kicking, think before you go spurting out.
    Others are struggling to contain this virus, we all need to be sensible, not flippant and
    We need to watch listen and learn from others who are more advanced than Madeira or UK.

    1. Dave, more advanced than the UK? Who? USA? Australia? France? Face it, most countries are well behind the UK thanks to the NHS and the way it organised both testing and vaccinations.

      Tough titty if you cannot accept what I said ⬆️⬆️

    2. More advanced in what Dave? What a negative person you are. Go back to hiding behind your sofa before the virus gets you.

  14. KWR,
    Such childish communication from you. I won’t reply to someone with child like intelligence.
    Maurice, Israel is who I quoted and the UK NHS did extremely well in spite of Borris not listening to the experts and other leaders with advanced covid experience. And yes I do believe in masks to restrict the spread.
    Those of you who can’t say anything in a constructive manner don’t bother, this blog is going downhill with these kind of manners.
    It seems there is a small group who can’t accept others opinions.
    If the cap fits wear it.
    Getting tired of talking to those who now it all.
    Don’t expect my opinion on this or other topics if people can’t have respect.

    1. You insult my intelligence but expect me to take your views seriously. There’s nothing wrong with the blog. Just people like you who can’t accept another’s point of view and then go all huffy and start throwing insults. Grow up.

  15. … Dave you and others are Way off the mark yet Again, Seriously and Weirdly Seeking you’re own Strange Nightmares to come true ,, Airing on Panic rather than common sense ,, Why ALWAYS the accusations and worry over people not wearing masks (which I agree with, many don’t wear masks) but what problem is it causing ?? (apart from Disobedience) Where is the significant rise in numbers due to it WHERE ? WHERE ?? ,, the Answer is NOWHERE it simply has No Effect …

  16. I have said it before and will say it again — wearing masks outside in fresh air is a total waste of time!!! Inside where the air is more confined and where consequently, virus droplets CAN build up, wearing of masks is worthwhile. So on buses, in taxis, in shops eta wearing mask should be mandatory at least until early 2022.
