Boris Johnson: Too soon to ease COVID-19 lockdown as were at 'maximum risk' stage

Prime Minister Boris Johnson returns to work after three weeks off fighting coronavirus.

Addressing the nation back at No 10 where he said the UK was 'beginning to turn the tide on coronavirus' but warned Brits against "lockdown impatience" as the country is at the stage of "maximum risk".

In a rallying cry from outside No.10, the PM warned the nation he would "refuse" to risk a second wave of cases by lifting restrictions too soon, as he came back to work for the first time since his own battle with the virus.

It's interesting how major news outlets with professional writers manage to consistently make blatant grammatical errors in the titles of their videos.

Boris has got some serious lockdown hair.

Strange to think that in a few years, kids will be learning about this in school. It’s one thing to hear about it, but living through it is way different.

[HavokYT]

With the amount of tiktoks im seeing from NHS its definitely clear they're not overwhelmed

[portcullis]

"We are" or "we're", not "were"! Now, write it out 50 times for homework!

[dubsydubs]

It's we're not were, you'd think a national newspaper could spell as words are the only thing they do.

[Orcaben]

Right okay, just cut his speech off right when it was getting important. Brilliant.

[TrueGaming.]

Met Boris at a charity do once, he was surprisingly down to earth and very funny.

[hannayearsago]

Whoever wrote the title probably got a U in GCSE English 😔

[alibthree]

"Not seeing friends, not seeing loved ones"... you know except the neighbours who have been holding parties and BBQs because they think the rules don't apply to everyone.

[owny]

It can't be that bad with them letting in 15000 migrants a day.

[doveronefoxtrot]

You need to start offering folk some positive news bojo, or your faith will be lost, and lockdown will soon start meaning nothing. Already it's plain to see on the roads that it is falling apart. The respect for police has already been lost, and this is starting to stir up a powder keg.

[Kkkxo]

I love how they say social distancing but there will be about 10 15 camera men there stood together filming 😤🤔

[gd]

You mean “as we’re at”. Notice the apostrophe. Grammar please.

[lostinpa-dadenduro]

If you wrestle a mugger in the UK you will be charged with assault and the mugger given victim compensation.

[peadarcorcoran]

Boris is right it's to early to lift the lockdown

[haytch]

Where have all the other diseases gone ?

[gyford]

Yes it is time Sir it’s time for us to get this country running a new direction of less lies ! And to put the power back to the people and to show/tell the citizens/sovereigns this will never happen again !

[asimghaffar]

He's gonna have to ease up on the lock down soon though... Eventually most, if not all, people will break the lock down rules anyway because they're sick of it!

[glennbranagan]

Many people would look at our apparent success, said Boris Johnson. Number of UK – Coronavirus to be a least 43, 500. I death toll heading to be the second worst in the World. That’s not a success it’s a national tragedy
