Coronavirus: Boris Johnson warns NHS in danger of being overwhelmed – BBC News

Published

on



The UK’s Prime Minister has warned the National Health Service (NHS) will be overwhelmed unless the British people act together to slow the spread of coronavirus. Boris Johnson described the rising number of cases as “very stark and they are accelerating”. He added that the UK was two or three weeks behind Italy, which is registering thousands of deaths from the disease. The NHS has struck a deal with hospitals across England to utilise nearly their entire hospital capacity to help in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

Today the government asked shoppers in the UK to “be responsible” and think of others such as NHS workers, after panic-buying amid the coronavirus outbreak. Environment Secretary George Eustice said there was more than enough food to go around – but the challenge for shops was keeping shelves stocked.

Presented by Kate Silverton, with reporting from Dominic Hughes, Nick Eardley, and Katy Austin.

    The Coronavirus will likely kill the Conservative party. The whole government looks utterly inept, and they will be blamed when loved ones die.

    This number of beds is not enough!
    If 3-4 % of the ill population is in need of ICU bed this number is absolutely INADEQUATE to meet the need arising!

    Hey if we really want to show the brave NHS staff how TRULY grateful we are for them DIRECTLY putting their lives on the line for the nation, how about we take a tiny portion of the business bailout money and give all NHS staff free fuel, zero congestion charge, free parking, free food, a 1k bonus, no taxes for the next 12 months and a guaranteed 50% pay rise if not double. Does that show a lot more appreciation than hand clapping??? So many nurses I know are struggling single mothers. Maybe direct benefits would be better? Oh and how about guaranteeing that their pensions will be protected from the vultures???

    Oh, now he realises. If he knew we were following Italy so closely (and it was obvious) why the hell didn't he act so much earlier? Every action seems to have been forced on this libertarian incompetent. I for one will never forgive this man for his pathetic inaction.

    I will never want to be cared for by any doctor or nurse who has a big beard like the guy at 0:57, particularly not during any surgery, procedure or even a flu season.  I don't want anyone to have a chance to breathe off one the facial hairs onto me when I'm sick.  I had never seen any healthcare worker wear beards in Hong Kong.

    What a crock! The testing for the "virus" is faulty and so results are skewed by a helluva lot. It's a fake pandemic, being used against us, to bring us down financially and bring us further under government control.

    Govt is good in ripping NHS from salary but service as expected poor. No preventive action, no emergency capacity, stocks. OMG. Pension age is 65 hence no need to pay them. 19% tax for corporates. Not complaining low tax to corporates but why ripping common man.

  39. @marinadubois7347

    January 12, 2024 at 3:35 pm

    Wake up Boris! First idea “herd immunity “ which is let’s get everyone sick while protecting the vulnerable. Little problem there..it’s not just the elderly and those with co-morbidity that get seriously ill or die. Look to Italy where a doctor reported removing ventilation from a 65 year old patient to use it for a 45 year old patient. South Korea did an outstanding job handling their outbreak ! We all need to isolate as much as possible to give the medical systems the time to find therapeutics and to produce needed supplies.

  40. @CS-rk6fu

    January 12, 2024 at 3:35 pm

    Last thing we need is scare mongering but it go's on.

  41. @marinadubois7347

    January 12, 2024 at 3:35 pm

    Send all the sick to designated hospitals, close the schools, limit all nonessential travel, stop social gatherings and increase testing to manage new outbreaks. Use drive in testing to protect the patient and the person testing. Track positive patients contacts through their phone. Follow South Korea’s example as much as possible. The UK has banded together before under enormous perilous circumstances and performed miracles. Great Leadership and public cooperation won the day. Friend from USA.

Americans will head to the polls in 17 days to decide how the rest of Donald Trump’s presidency will play out.

Thousands of races are taking place across the US, at different levels of government, on 3 November. But the main event for voters will be electing members of the House of Representatives and the Senate, the two chambers that make up Congress. Both of them are currently controlled by the Republicans, the president’s party.

The success or failure of Trump’s final two years in office could rest on the outcome.

The BBC examines the key battleground states and what the Republicans and Democrats are doing to win these crucial midterms.

Houthi attack on Saudi Arabia: What it means for the US | BBC News

Published

on



Is Washington leaving Saudi Arabia to fend for itself?

Last week, Houthi rebels launched a series of missile strikes on Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital. Surveillance footage showed a fireball erupting as airport passengers ran for cover. At least fourteen people have been killed and hundreds were injured.

The attack is the latest escalation in a decade-long war between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in neighbouring Yemen. The Saudis have long relied on financial, military and intelligence support from the United States, particularly in their fight against the Houthis. But Washington so far has shown little appetite for direct involvement in the fighting.

So why is the United States holding back? And what does that mean for the people caught in the middle?

The BBC’s chief international investigations correspondent, Nawal Al-Maghafi, recently reported from inside Yemen and joins The Global Story’s Asma Khalid to discuss why this conflict is escalating and what might happen next.
