Health Secretary Attempts to Outline What Could Trigger ‘Plan B’ This Winter

2 min read

Just as plans for vaccine passports at ‘large venues’ left us wondering where exactly the measures would be enforced, we have been left in the dark about what will push the Government to enact ‘Plan B’ (including mask mandates and vaccine passes) or ‘Plan C’ (another full lockdown) this winter. Health Secretary Sajid Javid attempted to clarify the issue this morning but was coy about the specifics. Sky News has the story.

The Health Secretary has said A&E pressures and increasing Covid hospital admissions could trigger the Government’s Plan B for the winter – as experts warned hospital admissions could reach 7,000 a day.

Sajid Javid added that a new variant of concern would not necessarily be a trigger as he refused to rule out a lockdown.

Plan B, which includes mandatory face masks, a work from home order and vaccine passports, was revealed by the Government on Tuesday as part of the autumn and winter plan for dealing with the Covid pandemic.

The Health Secretary told Sky News: “What happens in the NHS is going to be hugely important to me, to the whole country, making sure that we don’t get to a position again where the NHS becomes unsustainable.

“I think we’re going to have to look at a number of measures, so of course that would be the level of hospitalisation, it will be the pressures on A&E, the pressures on the workforce, so we’d have to take all of these together.”

However, he refused to put a number on how many cases or admissions would trigger plan B.

Worth reading in full.

A friend who works in the judicial system already told us. The number is 200 deaths a day and we are all back in lockdown.

The shortest distance between A and B is a straight line, so at least that would be difficult for Boris

SAGE make Boris panic, and we get masks first, then covid passports, and finally lockdowns. Enjoy Easter!

The NHS is going to collapse anyway, under the weight of its own institutional bureaucracy and incompetence, covid or no covid…. this messaging is just to soften us up for the inevitable, and shows that the govt have no plan to resolve the problems with the NHS that have built up over the last 73 years ….

He even said staffing problems in the nhs will also play apart, well if the nhs staff are so hard to come by then why threaten them with the sack if they don’t want a jab? How many have quit the nhs over this bullshit? Thousands have already quit care homes.

Vaxx passports in full swing here in Germany. Today the law makers in Berlin discovered to their shock that they have thus “accidentally” excluded all kids below 12 years old from entering any of the “participating” restaurants.

Plan C it is then.

There are lots of people on this site who keep asking where can they find information about vaxxport self-certification etc etc.. My site has all this information.

There are others.. naming no names.. who seem to spend their whole time dismissing others’ efforts to fight this. I have personally financed and spent (lots of) time setting up and realising this new website.

It’s simply a HUB with access to many sites in one place to save having to search endlessly around an already compromised web. Luckily, no one is in charge of my salary, my opinions or my life. I am my own person. This is the hill I die on.

STOP JABBING CHILDREN!

I am now ready to go fully live including FREE subscriptions and information (make up your own minds).… if you think you know better then flock off and troll someone else. You have choices to make. Time is of the essence. If I sound angry.. it’s because I am.

Here’s a thought. Plan B will be triggered when we go from October to November; and plan C when November becomes December. And then the people of Britain will finally waken up. Sorry, that last sentence was completely made up and has no basis in reality.

That’s been my position for 30+ years, apart from the pandemic of course but there’s always been something to get the hand wringers running around screaming. Eggs? Beef? Asbestos? Aids? Lead in petrol? New Ice Age? Not forgetting of course global warming or whatever they’re calling it at this moment.

The reason why he can’t put a numer on that is because the expretzels haven’t stopped demanding that mask mandates, social distancing, generally browbeating the hospitality industry etc must immediately be reintroduced to avert a certain future disaster ever since they failed to stop them being abolished in July.

Before they were abolished, they literally claimed this would create the conditions for a global disaster because of careless Britain. Then, they predicted 100,000 – 200,000 case per day, supposed to happen in the first weeks of August unless …, then came the “schools reopened COVID tsunami”, meanwhile, it’s “7000 hospitalizations per day inevitable unless …” and should the government stick to its guns until 2050, they’ll probably still be demanding mask mandates now lest the world goes under in a fortnight.

Ideally, these people would be removed from all public offices and prosecuted. But we’re not there yet.

It’s hard to tell whose hand is up whose arse, but SAGE et all are employed by the govt and can be sacked if the govt decide they don’t like the messages being sent out. I think we have to assume SAGE are kept around because the govt find them useful.

Prosecuted for what? I don’t think that even utter wrongness or delusion is actually against any law. Keep it real.

The thing is – nobody has to listen to the SAGE types as the epidemiological gospel. But this government wilfully chooses to do so, and The SAGE types happily feed them what they want.

But it’s clear who is the prime mover.

If ‘Plan B’ is contingent on a scenario where the NHS is overwhelmed, it is a safe bet that we will be fully signed up to Klaus & Bill’s digital ‘papers please’ global totalitarianism by Christmas.

Their plan B is of course actually plan A.

They know that introducing the boosters and vaccines for 12-15 will result in a new wave of cases and illnesses and death – they have seen it already in Israel.

This will give them justification for more lockdowns, more control, push again for vax passports, and press on with the next stage of their plan.

“You can just self-certify…”

So, the whole thing is again revealed as a monumental sham. ‘Self certifying’ yourself exempt from an apocalyptic plague certificate is a logical non starter. It’s equivalent to ‘self certifying’ yourself exempt from the mandatory security-theater-screening at the airport. Total nonsense.

Yep, same with the face covering nonsense. If it worked and was really necessary to prevent infection does anyone seriously think the rules would be so loose? Any old bit of cloth, borrow ’em or lend ’em, toss ’em in the bin or just on the road- must be worn while ordering food but not required while you sit and eat said food a few feet away- it all works people!

Ah yes:

… as experts warned hospital admissions could reach 7,000 a day.

And if they don’t? Then no harm done, eh? Just a little scare mongering and panic stirring. All in a days’ work.
