⚠️WARNING VIRAL SURGE IN THE UK ⚠️☣
Covid infection levels in England have risen by 17% on last week, with around 1 in 91 people in England now infected with Covid as of 13 October. The risk of meeting an infected person in your everyday life remains Very High.

Seriously where are the government advisors Sir Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance?. We need a press conference right now.

I am absolutely fuming. 944 new deaths that occurred within 60 days of a coronavirus test is quite a data dump, hidden in the sub pages of the government covid dashboard.
This government must go.

So Matt Hancock just admitted case rises started in kids of school age and then spread to other age groups. However they sat by and did nothing about schools. Let's not EVER forget that!.

Well it's either going to be lockdown in a few days or NHS collapse.

The new variants of the BA strains of Omicron are causing a problem here in the UK. I've been following the data and we should be worried and taking care out there with masks etc.
What I've seen from other countries it doesn't look good.
Cases are rising here. Wear a mask.

A child was reported dead today. 135 total deaths in the UK.
Yet all we will hear about is how cases are falling.
What a country.

I still get dirty looks for wearing a decent mask in my local shop.
I don't get it, I could be saving someone's nan from dying by not getting infected and spreading it.
What is wrong with people here?.

The virus is now affecting children with no underlying health conditions, the NHS is overwhelmed, the government has gone against the world health organisation.
Schools must close now.
Please stay at home. This is no joke now.

The government really must act now.
We have a week or so at the most before the English NHS is at collapse point with no available beds. I am deadly serious.
51

547
So to summarise the situation as professionally as I can without getting angry.
1. Unknown spread of new Omicron 2 variant due to no PCR.
2. Uncontrolled spread in the population.
3. Uncontrolled spread in schools.
4. No testing for travellers.
Its not looking good.
28
206

Surely with this new variant probably already in the UK it would be prudent to reintroduce masks in shops and on public transport immediately until more is known.

I would seriously consider wearing an ffp3 mask or half face respirator in shops etc right now in the UK. We are on the cusp of winter and the next few weeks will be dangerous out there. My daughter was infected last week and feels like crp. Be careful friends.
Shop not drop!.

Why is the UK spread of covid every time almost deliberate?. What's the bigger picture?.

Watching the press conference in Ukraine today with Johnson it appears he is making many promises of helping them rebuild their country etc etc..
Does Zelenskyy realise that the UK is in a recession and why haven't the government helped rebuild Afghanistan or Iraq?

I apologise in advance here for the strong tone .
The Government must go. We cannot accept what will happen. We will see cases rise and families split up by death and tragedy again following the 8th March.
Hurting kids is not acceptable and frankly the government is liable.

Sadly my friends son has died age 34 following a covid infection.
He went down quickly and on new years eve life support was turned off due to organ failure.
Please don't reply as this is just an update, thanks I am trying to get my head around it.

Whitty saying kids are safe from covid, they don't get serious problems. Parents of 59 kids admitted to hospital over the weekend would disagree.

Has anyone seen the chief medical officer
@CMO_England
?. We have the NHS pretty much on it's knees, running out of beds and yet another covid wave here in the UK.

So the media are reporting the R rate has dropped. Be cautious with this as it's based on new cases data which as we know currently isn't correct.

What must the poor families think of the government's new 28 day hide the deaths scheme. Oh sorry but unfortunately they died after a month of a positive test for covid so they won't be counted even though they battled the virus for so long before dying Sick frankly.

Deaths are low due to the weekend, cases are lower due to a backlog of LFT data being removed from stats, and also lack of available tests.
Don't be fooled it isn't going away, it's just the system is collapsing due to so many being infected. Sorry.

Teachers need to strike on the 8th March. The government have gone against their scientific advisory group SAGE, and Sub group SPI-m to open schools.
If Teachers care about their pupils and families as well as their own wellbeing there is no other way now!!.

Our critical infrastructure is starting to buckle.
NHS at breaking point, Police off sick. Postal delays due to staff shortages. Food missing in supermarkets, Doctors being redeployed to ICU work. Care homes again in trouble.
Government must act now. Disasters emergency plan.

Update: Johnson has overruled his advisors.
The Prime Minister is not expected to announce further restrictions to control the Omicron variant in England after being briefed on the impact Christmas had on Covid infections and hospital pressures.

I have nothing further to add. If the government choose to go against Sage and Nervtag and continue to open schools, then the only option is for people to take the law into their own hands for the safety of their families.

Well we are fucked. Sorry to be blunt. People crammed on tube trains, beaches, shops, parks, might as well just open all up and watch them die

Not the best timing to justify removing covid safeguards in the UK.
Could you publish the scientific data on this matter. Thanks

Today's UK stats for Thursday, very bad again.
New cases at a massive 107,364, not including reinfected people.
New deaths at sadly 330, only including those who died within 28 days of a coronavirus test.
Hospitalisations high at 1,905 on 16/1.
20
133
208
Looks like the South African variant is spreading nicely with many parts effected including Essex.
Essentially we are repeating last year.
This is the worst time to open ANY schools as it will assist in the new variants both spreading and mutating further.
15
93
215
NHS on its knees, new Brazil strain and others, no quarantine at airports, schools 50% full without masks in classrooms, most retail open, nurseries open, train stations packed, crazy protests going on, care homes asked to take untested people from hospitals to keep stats down.
13
136
204
My government source has messaged.
Cases are going up badly. This will be apparent at some point next week.
Also looking at deaths over the weekend it's safe to assume the Tuesday figure will be around 300+.
Just wanted to warn you to be prepared.
23
115
209
Just one comment from us on the press conference. Again no mention of the 40% of community infections coming from schools. Nothing about shielding. Nothing about masks in workplaces. This is hopeless in our opinion.
13
91
200
Can I just remind everyone that the death numbers we are seeing now are from when the daily infections were at around 10-15k per day. We now have getting on for 50 thousand daily cases. You do the maths, it isn't going to be pretty in a months time as it is without freedom day.

Why wasn't Jeremy Hunt given the Health minister role.
He actually seems to care (to a degree).
Why javid?, was it his banking job with JP Morgan and links with American private healthcare providers that got him the job?

Sadly it has been left to let rip in schools, colleges and today 770 reported infected in Northumbria university!.

It's nice to bury ones head in the sand and pretend it's all over. However I trust the Zoe app data more than I trust the government data.
300+ deaths today that occurred within 60 days of a coronavirus test says to me that the government new cases data is very much out.
15
87
194
Sorry I won't be very talkative today as I am really upset about the deaths and the government removing safety measures which will make it worse in a week or so.

So the government are now sending back into schools any kids without a laptop. You couldn't make this negligence up!.

So 200+ people dead in two days and a child dead too.
That's a plane crash. If if was it would be a national tragedy. However nobody seems interested in these avoidable covid deaths.

Today's UK stats for Tuesday, horrendous frankly.

⚠️⚠️ WARNING! Seriously the infected are in every town. Now is the time to wear your masks and eye protection. we are at the most contagious time. Forget what anyone thinks you look like. This is important. Do not go to a shop without one on.

the last 7 days have seen over 70 thousand new cases and just shy of 3 thousand deaths. However according to williamson schools are safe to go back with no masks in primary schools.
This goes against the government's Scientific advisory team SAGE as well as the sub comitee SPI-M
9
99
163
Enough is enough!. We knew without mandatory masks in school's the virus would transmit. Many schools are closed as pupils get infected along with staff. These are our children and families. How much more will we put up with?. This government is incompetent and dangerous.
12
65
154
They don't have enough data on the potential spread of the new variants. Please somebody stop them opening schools for now.
As an ex military bio weapons specialist I am extremely concerned the risks outweigh the benefits. This is SARS not flu..

67
165
Love to know how the hell
@GavinWilliamson
can sleep at night with all those kids sick in hospitals and dead due to him removing masks in schools just as the Delta variant entered the UK.
They knew it affected younger people, they had the data and still did it. It's criminal.
6
69
159
So an update and I must express how concerned I am.
Total death figure over 400, including two children.
PCR testing suspended as of today according to NHS site data.
Cases not including reinfected people and now reduced testing.
How can we live with this?.
15
77
166
Right I am going to be harsh here and I make no appologies.
The current government strategy will lead to many more cases and deaths.
It's inexcusable treating sars2 like flu and letting it rip.
We have kids infected on mass and some dying daily, elderly not protected.
6
65
164
Right I am seriously calling for schools to shut tomorrow. There is a 14 day incubation period for covid. Just 12 days left until families get together for Christmas day. Unions, councils etc, do the right thing and close schools right now!.

Is it just me or have the

Please start wearing masks out and about if you don't already.
The situation is probably worse now than in the last wave. 1 in 13 have it (BBC news).
12
77
160
My honest advice to stay safe:
1: Please avoid children where possible in shops etc, many will have got covid via schools.
2: Use an FFP3 mask or respirator when shopping.
3: Absolutely never vote for the
@Conservatives
again.
Thanks and stay safe!.

New deaths 96 that occurred within 28 days of a coronavirus test and in hospitals only RIP poor souls.

As an ex military bio weapons specialist I could cry right now.
There is no mitigation for primary school kids. It's like sending them into the gas chambers. This government is both callous and heartless. No regard for kids that will get sick or parents. It's SARS FFS!.
13

154
Please if you don't have to take the kids etc with you to the supermarket then don't. Limit the risk and chances of one of you getting infected. If one does you all will!.

⚠️ Covid19 is an airborne virus with a particle size of 0.1/3 micron Small enough to be vapourised or carried on a sneeze for 8 metres You need only one of these tiny particles to enter your nose or eyes to contract the virus. Keep away from each other or use a mask.

Mass educational transmission.
What a mess

146
It's not rocket science is it. We have a highly more transmissible virus, more cases than ever before, NHS on the limit.
Now is not the time to open schools. I suggest all parents and teachers just refuse. What can they do if nobody turns up. I mean seriously do it. Stay home

I am so upset. I am going to be honest.
It isn't just adults dying now it's children too in significant numbers. It's not right, the government should do more to slow the transmission of coronavirus and protect people, especially kids. Sorry.
