This weeks Portuguese Covid-19 virus ‘update’ has come in with the lowest number of new infections registered in the last six weeks.
With focus nationally on the enormous promise of 22 million doses of vaccine on their way to Portugal starting from January, health authority ‘news’ is heartening.
New infections came in over the last 24-hours at just 2, 401 – while the number of recoveries in the same period was an impressive 7,935.
The marked difference has meant that the number of active infections in Portugal has at last dropped well below the 80,000 mark – where it has been hovering for weeks – to 75, 008.
Hospital beds taken up by Covid patients are also down by 67, while there are marginally less in ICUs (521).
This latter point cannot be too much cause for ‘joy’ as it may have been prompted by death.
The last 24-hour period has registered 72 Covid deaths, the majority of them (43) in the north.
Deaths in the central region were next highest (13), followed by Lisbon/ Vale do Tejo (11). Alentejo (3) and Algarve (2).
But the overwhelming ‘message’ today as €3 billion in European aid arrives to help businesses hold onto their workforces is that the situation across a country that is totally ‘confined’ to its home boroughs until early tomorrow morning – and will go back into strict borough confinement on Friday night for another four days – is that ‘something must be working’. Numbers are looking suddenly much better.

It is indeed good news that Portugal's figures are apparently decreasing. But I don't think this success can be attributed to masks or other measures, as they have been around for some time now, certainly more than the 7 day incubation period of the so-called virus. More likely one of the following:
1) A statistical blip
2) Fewer people being tested therefore fewer false positives.
3) Increased immunity in the community, i.e. more and more of those who are going to get it have had it by now.
If it is No. 3 (which for everyone's sake I hope it is) then there is no need for a vaccine as our immune systems have collectively done what they've effectively been training to do for thousands of years.
Of course, but for the first time I laughed at something he actually meant as a joke against me, rather than at the nonsense he quotes seriously.
Norman foul, abusive language and personal insults have no place on this forum.
Still no clearer on whether Mr Schwab is a communist liberal or a fascist.
And I can't tell if David believes the virus exists and is harmless or if it's non-existent. It seems to change depending on what day it is.
And people are still dying of it. Still, as the article points out, there is some improvement in Portugal. Masks and other measures seem to have done quite a bit to bring the numbers lower. Bring on the vaccine...
Covid Vaccines will sterilise woman!
And men. The uk Pfizer vaccine is not fully tested, not fit for anything, and probably will kill you, certainly it’s going to sterilise women and men! It even states this in the Pfizer public release paper they put out.
Its a disgrace! Pregnant women, be warned!
A number of people have already died, as guniea pigs,
(been covered up)
There’s NO pandemic, it’s a globalist communist takeover.
There’s no need for any vaccine, it’s a vaccine that carry’s DNA ALTERING nano synthetic biotech,
The WEF, UN, EU, WHO, And the medical chiefs in all countrys are complicit in this horrendous crime, using a fake pandemic, employing a medical Tyranny to dismantle and take down the western economy and industry, enslave everyone inside a totalitarian globalist controlled new world order!
Watch listen and learn!

This virus you mention has yet to be proved to exist, never mind shown to cause any illness. As for the 'vulnerable' peope, they have been first under the bus under lockdowns.
An external peer review report (revealing 10 major scientific flaws) has been has been submitted to the Eurosurveillance Editorial Board on Nov. 27 by an international consortium of scientists in life science. It includes a retraction request letter https://cormandrostenreview.com/report/?fbclid=IwAR3kIqMehUVtlVphwXJ1VnIHpDV5cfIwPWZJGZ1DT02t-dVFnKdyqSzlgRI
Besides all of this, we are never given the number of tests carried out on a daily basis. Given the measurements re. total of cases per municipality, the number of tests should be the same amount every single day and proportional to the amount of people per municipality.
This is the reason children are low risk and older people or people with health issues are high risk.
Furthermore, this is what makes a good country Great, they look after their most vulnerable people, because these people have contributed to the society we live in today.
"RT-PCR detects presence of viral genetic material in a sample but is not able to
distinguish whether infectious virus is present. The quantity of intact virus in upper
respiratory swabs will be affected by factors that are endogenous and exogenous to
laboratory methods."
If you still think these numbers of infected people have any meaning, then you need a vaccine for gullibility not Covid.
