Concerns raised over Government's winter COVID Plan B

Health Secretary, Sajid Javid has made clear that the Government's Plan B for dealing with COVID would be triggered by excessive pressure on the NHS.

But with Government scientific advisers suggesting that the hospitalisation rate could reach between two and seven thousand per day next month, there are concerns within the health service that any ramping up of restrictions would come too late to make any difference.

Its not good for people's mental health to think about life negatively. This winter is going to be amazing IMO.

The usual “NHS being overstretched” and overwhelmed. Change the record. Look at newspaper headlines for the past decade and they all say the same thing

I live in a very rural close community, many of the people around me are elderly, not one of them got COVID worse than a seasonal flu, defiantly not hospitalisation worthy. They all had the experimental jab now 2 of them have serious brain and skin issues, just a coincidence I suppose :(
