Grim projections put UK returning to lockdown next month
Experts from SAGE, the independent health advisory group to Whitehall, have now suggested a u-turn could take place in mid-August if hospital cases continue to rise.
Nearly 2000 daily hospitalisations & 200 daily deaths projected
The advice, according to Wiltshire Times on July 21, 2021, comes as latest data from July 14, 2021, showed there were 745 new patients admitted a day, with 4,500 people going into hospital in the last seven days.
It said SAGE scientists have pleaded with ministers to take onboard the increasing cases and take action to avoid the NHS becoming overwhelmed again by late August.
“Current projections show the UK could be experiencing between 1,000 and 2,000 daily hospitalisations and 100-200 deaths a day could happen by the end of August, unless Borin Johnson takes action to reimpose restriction measures.
Calls for face masks to be reintroduced
“SAGE suggests reintroducing face masks and work from home in mid-August, to limit the spread of the virus before the peak is reached,” the Wiltshire Times reported.
United Kingdom (UK) Prime Minister Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson aka ‘Boris’ has warned Brits that using their common sense is critical in ensuring the country can resume normality, as he stressed in his latest media briefings that the pandemic is “far from over.”
As he appeared via Zoom from isolation at Chequers, he refused to rule out reapplying measures if a third wave looms, adding he is "humble in the face of nature".
Vaccinate!
From July 19, 2021, National Health Service (NHS) workers also do not need to self-isolate if ‘pinged’ by track and trace, as the NHS attempts to stay afloat while coping with the inevitable rise in cases which is expected as socialising and events take place unrestricted.
Dr Yvonne Doyle, Medical Director at Public Health England, said "We can all reduce the risk by getting both doses of the vaccine, testing ourselves twice a week at home and spending more time outside or in well-ventilated rooms. Let’s all remain vigilant.”

You chose the right name for your content. I know you are one of the Pro vaxxers but comprehension is essential. The article did not speak about infection numbers as that can be easily reduced by reduction in testing. It spoke about hospitalizations which is spiking upwards. Add to that 40% are double vaccinated if we are to believe the scientific adviser who misspoke when he said 60%. 40% is still a startlingly high percentage and they expect that number to rise:
The real test for this is another month from Freedom day then we will know the real picture.
if only they didn’t drop the ball allowing the virus to walk right in via the vaccinated through no respect to the incubation period.Pressured and advised by external non VI agencies.
Lesson is if your doing right keep doing it don’t study who has more status or who is pushing vaccine freedoms, when your numbers speak for themself at 1 death for over a year.
Multiply 2,000 by the 1,600 cases here last week and you get 3.2 MILLION.
Truly the results are much worse here!!!!
The real test of their vaccine the sole solution will come in the Autumn and Winter as the cold season means the virus can survive longer and add to that it is yet unknown how long the immunity will last from these vaccines.
stop trying to distract.
