We haven’t yet reached lockdown’s “terminus date“, but Government officials are already signalling that restrictions could be reintroduced in weeks if the Covid situation becomes “unacceptable”.
Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty said on Thursday that a “scary” growth in hospitalisations could leave the NHS “in trouble again surprisingly fast“, meaning that in “five, six, seven eight weeks’ time”, the Prime Minister may need to “look again” at reintroducing restrictions.
A Government minister has this morning echoed Whitty’s warning, telling Sky News that: “Of course, if we get into a situation where it’s unacceptable and we do need to put back further restrictions, then that, of course, is something the Government will look at.” The MailOnline has more.
Solicitor General Lucy Frazer suggested it was the right time to open up because of the vaccination drive – which has reached 90% of Britons.
But with cases continuing to soar, hospital admissions tracking above some of SAGE’s worst-case projections, and deaths having hit a four-month high, she warned that Number 10 may be left with no choice but to consider reimposing tough restrictions. …
England’s Chief Medical Officer last night cautioned the U.K. could still “get into trouble again surprisingly fast” and hospitals may face “scary numbers” within a matter of weeks.
Making it clear the country was not on an irreversible path to freedom despite Number 10 pushing ahead with step four of the ‘roadmap’ to normality on Monday, Professor Chris Whitty said: “We are not by any means out of the woods yet.” …
The Prime Minister [has] sounded a cautious note… and called on people not to “go wild” and immediately rush to take advantage of the final easing – which includes lifting work-at-home orders and reopening nightclubs. …
Saying restrictions should be eased on July 19th, Ms Frazer told Sky News: “I think the Health Secretary has been very clear, as has the Prime Minister, that we will see infections rise. …
“It is really important that we get the balance right between ensuring that we keep this virus under control and we take the necessary clinical measures to do that, but that we also recognise that there are consequences of not opening up and not allowing people to go about their daily lives.”

So vaccines a complete waste of time then! Simply reinforces my decision not to take it.
The recent batch of Covid Vax “adverts”, that are quite obviously featuring paid actors, and are loosely disguised as intelligent reporting, should be called out by LDS. This is all part of the Behavioural Science’s remit to prep the population. Utterly criminal in anyone’s estimation I would suggest.
A “case” is not necessarily someone who is actually ill & everyone needs reminding of this. The insane ramping up of testing is the root cause of this phenomenon. Additionally the “shortages” of drives/workers can likely be put down to the overzealous Track & Trace pinging people & then perfectly healthy workers are sent home. Utter madness.

This is also a vital interview to listen to, McCullough demolishes the scientific justification for vaccine passports.
“Hospital admissions tracking above SAGE worst case scenario” Is that right? Are they?
No they make it all up. They are now lying egregiously
This has been promoted a couple of times on this platform that I’m aware of. If you haven’t seen it you really really must watch Dr David Martin interview by Dr Reiner Fuellmich. Its an absolute must watch and share as far and wide as possible. I can’t stress just how important this interview is. I have already shown it to a couple of full blown Bovid’s with brains, it fully converted one for sure, still awaiting to hear from the other. You’ll never see it out there via MSM though it is utterly compelling and exposes the scam pretty much irrefutably. Even a full blown Lock-down jib-jab zealot would struggle to disprove or disregard a single element of this exposé.

Try and get people to take the time. Most won’t sadly.
IanC, I am with you. This is either the best con I have ever seen, better than Derren Brown, or the THE smoking gun; I cannot believe that the references he cites are other than the golden bullet because they are so easily checked, i.e they exist; It is not the same as “evidence’ which is really “opinion” and there easily disputed or should I say “fact-checked” – these documents are publicly available and the content of the Patents is indisputable. I watched it all and you don’t get a seriously bright Lawyer like Fuellmich reacting when he suddenly realises the importance of Dr Martin’s dossier. It now sits next to The Hutton Report and others in a USB drive. For me it proves that the US has colluded with the CCP – because they/their military run this lab – and are equally culpable; when you add this to The Fauci emails dissected by Del Bigtree and his colleagues, it falls into place for me, and is very frightening.
Can you help? Like me, my wife is a sceptic but believes the response to the virus is down to incompetence and unlike me, not something sinister. Can anyone explain what the plausible end game is, to help her see it’s so much more than incompetence and that I’m not a conspiracy theorist!? Thank you.
Please see my recent post which I placed before seeing yours. Might help.
Many thanks Ian
Is it now the time to question the need for Public Health Departments because clearly Whitty seems incapable of understanding basic Heath needs. He has caused severe and perhaps irreparable damage to the educational,social and health of our children and now appears to countenance experimenting with their immature immune systems with vaccination.
When facts don’t fit they are ignored. Japan mask wearing nation has massive surge in infection – but masks are not accepted as being an important factor.
U.K. gets surge and Whitty Boris and his boffins- sorry Buffoons/- demand mask wearing because lack of masks is a fundamental factor.
This collection of mediocre individuals have been given powers to incarcerate individuals who have more experience and specific knowledge base that they have: hence why they shut down debate apart from this site,TalkRADIO,GB news and Alison Pearson et al.
YES We do need another lockdown but it is of Public Health. Boris,SAGE.
With 25% NHS off work and over 10 million patients waiting for treatment you can understand why hospitals are at breaking point. You can tell from the rhetoric last year that they had no intention of releasing us from the hell they’ve created. Things will only get worse from now on as they find every excuse to lockdown again. SAGE must be sacked along with Boris Johnson.
Sacked? Thrown in jail, all assets given to a fund for those who have been damaged by all this, locked down on a regular (and random) basis, forced to watch videos of all their lies and contradictions – and of vaccine casualties – and brought out for a day in the stocks once a week. Oh, and forced to wear a mask at all times. Short of hanging, I know, but they need to see the damage they’ve caused and never be allowed to forget it.
“Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty said on Thursday that a “scary” growth in hospitalisations could leave the NHS “in trouble again surprisingly fast“,
Thus proving that the NHS isn’t fit for purpose.
Clap them? In Jail, maybe.
I assume by then vaccine programme ‘having reached 90% ‘ they mean that 90% have been offered. There’s no way 90% have been vaccinated. However, I do believe that there is a sizeable majority who have taken up this ´miracle vaccine’ that was the way out of all if this. And that is where I have a big problem. Why on earth can’t people stop and ask why, if this programme, has been so successful, they are threatening to lock us down again before we’ve even fully unlocked. I don’t like to be rude about people (and I am no genius) but are they really so stupid that they can be taken in by this?
We have the same old, same old, about the NHS being overrun. I watched (a very, very rare event) a programme on BBC about the history of the NHS on the TV. Apparently the NHS has been at risk of being overrun since it’s conception yet they are still using the same old excuse.
I am close to giving up!
Never give in.
What is the point of this yoyoing in and out of lockdowns? If “cases” and deaths are going to rise with every unlocking there is no way out of this cycle of doom. Unlock and be done!
LIARS LIARS pants on 🔥 when they said Vaccines would end all this! Restrictions are permanent and life as we knew it before COVID is officially DEAD!
Of course whitty knows countries with the highest Vaccinations have the highest number of Cases. Read Joel Smalley’s letter to his MP on Twitter. It says it all. A grave concern.
Please may you add a link to this – I am a lifelong, past present and future, non Twatter oik
Nothing makes sense. 90% of Brits jabbed????? Cases soaring????
When will folk start asking some very basic questions.
For a start I do not believe 90% of the UK is jabbed. If they were there wouldn’t be the constant project fear to get jabbed.
Cases usually mean hospitalisation but the hospitals are empty and the Nightingales are no longer in existence.
I thought GBNews was going to be the force for truth and debate but the ‘conspiracy theorists’ have yet again been proven correct and GBNews is no more than a rebranding of the BBC. It is time many more journalists and MPs start calling out this terrible communist takeover of our country. If they don’t they will be part of the final cull when they have done their dirty work.
How many Conservative MPs have resigned the Whip over this tyranny? 0
How many Conservative Peers have done the same, and they don’t lose a seat at an election in consequence? 0.
The entire political class is on board with the takeover of the State.
Agreed, GB News is mostly underwhelming, Alistair Stewart, Neil Oliver and Andrew Neil among the honourable exceptions – have not yet seen Drs Lawrie, Yeadon, Kendrick and others given airtime.
Anybody still believes this is a mistake or incompetence needs to watch this:

Very well worth watching
If there is a “scary growth in hospitalisation” it is being driven by the vaccines.
But 76 days without a death in one NHS trust. That’s gotta be a scary number for lunatic eugenicists like Johnson.
Why should I have to walk around in a permanent state of fury? I used to be an easy-going person but am now by default livid. All the time. I see people wearing masks, committing no greater crime than being a bit dim, and I imagine the joy of throttling them. I imagine the pleasure of fire-bombing Chris Whitty’s house; the relief of hearing that a helicopter full of Sage members has crashed in the North Sea with no survivors; that a new, ultra-infective, 100% fatal variant has turned up which affects only policemen, BBC staff and all politicians other than Steve Baker and his mates. I don’t want to think these things, honestly I don’t. I’m a grown-up; I have serious responsibilities – for vulnerable people! I feel genuinely desperate.
I know how you feel.
Notwithstanding Boris’s bullshit about the removal of restrictions being irreversible, they are preparing us for the reimposition of restrictions before they have even been lifted.
You really couldn’t make it up!
For anyone who has not read it yet this is the leak from this April, showing that things are running to the globalists plan.
Whitehall leak April 2021
“A Whitehall source directly linked to the Covid Response has said that the UK Government has already structured a detailed plan designed to neutralise each stage of the Lockdown easing, including the compliance of Media outlets, to help with spreading the fear message.
The Whitehall source has said that he has been “increasingly concerned” with how the Government are behaving, and that their “relationship with the truth” is now not even on nodding terms.
The latest plan will involve a series of crisis around drug supply, mutant strains, and third waves, specifically choreographed to condition the public for further lockdowns and vaccine passports.
The plan that is designed to take us to September the 27th 2021, is to be released in stages over the summer months, and according to the Whitehall source, “is already well underway”.
On March 8th the first milestone of the Roadmap was implimented, with schoolchildren finally returning to class.
The following day, Chris Whitty gave a pre-written speech to the Commons, that said schools reopening would cause another… Read more »
This is medical tyranny.
What happened to the vaccines? Doesn’t seem like they are preventing anything.
They are preventing money being spent on actual healthcare of actually sick people
That picture of Lucy Frazer, says it all (looks) mad as a hatter…
I’ve said it all along the lunatics are running the asylum.
And about as old as st Greta fuck off and die bitch
As mentioned in earlier LS reports, can we please have the figure for admissions minus discharges?
There is a daily hospital occupancy figure for England on the government web site, however you have to select the England tab to see it.
Currently 3370.
Edit: It was 3600 yesterday so discharges exceeded admissions today.
Irreversible. Resignation better be ready if it isn’t, Boris.
It’ll be the fault of some new variant or other, which wasn’t predicted and therefore isn’t his fault…
They aren’t good at hiding their scam, announcing the next step before any results are seen from the last one looks very dodgy.
they are so eager.
Here’s my idea of ‘freedom’: 1) making a short bus journey without having to wearing a mask, 2) doing my shopping without having to wear a mask, 3) visiting a supermarket cafe without being asked my name and telephone number, 4) going into a pub, walk to the bar, and buy a drink. If that is Boris Johnson’s idea of ‘going wild,’ I’m very sorry. I’ve been vaccinated twice, and had a flu jab last year. I don’t harbour any weird theories about Bill Gates and the Bilderbergers. All I want is to be left alone & get on with my life. I promise not to ‘go wild’ in the next year or so.
Why do you think it would be ‘weird’ to have theories about Gates and the Bilderberg meetings? There’s no shame in pointing out a conspiracy when it’s happening right before our very eyes. They’re laughing at us.
Being ‘vaccinated’ twice was never going to guarantee you anything, but it did put your health at serious risk of harm. I hope you can see now that playing by their rules will not bring back freedom.
‘I hope you can see now that playing by their rules will not bring back freedom.‘
The only way to win their game is not to play it.
Well, you may be able to do some of those things in some places. Speaking personally, visiting London is out because of muzzles on TFL, ice skating is out because all the rinks are carrying on with restrictions, ditto the hairdressers, ditto supermarkets, ditto international travel. Perhaps some local restaurants will ditch the nonsense. Other than that, not much will change for me.
As for Bill Gates, I don’t harbour theories about him personally, though I believe him to be a Bad Actor in this caper, but what isn’t a theory is that globally, governments, assisted by Big Tech, Big Pharma and the media, have grabbed enormous amounts of extra power over us by brainwashing us with lies, and they are not going to let go.
Just say you’re exempt – I have been going about my business in London undisturbed so far. Can’t say this will be the same when vaxports come in but I will try and kick up a fuss if not.
I do that when I have to, but TBH I don’t much want to be anywhere surrounded by the muzzled having to justify myself if necessary.
Quite. It’s just utterly dispiriting. I used to like travelling around on the trains, but for the past year have mostly only done so for work as it’s a thoroughly unpleasant atmosphere. Not keen on shopping anyway apart from books, but now actively avoid all shops as much as possible, and spend as litle time in them as possible. Not been in a pub or cafe since all this shitshow started.
I don’t wear a muzzle, I think gates is 666 fuck off Pig dictator.
