"Science must guide Covid course to protect NHS from 'collapse' - health boss
As we've reported, the cabinet is meeting at the moment.
While we're waiting to hear what the outcome of that is, here are some comments from health bosses who have been warning of the mounting pressure on the NHS.
Patricia Marquis, England director at the Royal College of Nursing, calls on ministers to listen to "whatever the scientific advisers are saying" about the pattern of Omicron's spread and "the effect that it's having on people, their health and the health services" to ease off the pressure on the NHS.
The science needs to guide what comes next to protect the health service from what could be a "real collapse", she tells the BBC.
Meanwhile Chris Hopson, chief executive of NHS Providers, which represents hospital trusts, says pressure on London trusts, including hospitals, community mental health and ambulance trusts, has been "mounting rapidly" in the past week.
"The number of hospitalised Covid patients or patients who tested positive for Covid has gone up by 30% in a week, at a time when nationally it's only gone up by 4%," he tells Times Radio."
Anybody would think certain posters are only cherry pi King what they want to read despite criticising others and claiming that's what they do.
It's like criticism of lockdown or social distancing saying only "X" died
Or criticism of vaccines and vaccination programs or vaccine passports and saying either only "X" died etc. Or "X" vaccinated people are still passing it on when when vaccinated.
Imagine how bad it would have been if we hadn't locked down or had vaccines etc.
