Original title: The UK’s new crown pneumonia cases continue to surge
On the 22nd, the United Kingdom reported 49,298 new confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the past 24 hours. For the tenth consecutive day, more than 40,000 new cases were confirmed, and the total number of confirmed cases reached 8,689949.
The number of new coronary pneumonia cases in the United Kingdom has surged and the epidemic situation has continued to deteriorate. The British health community has been screaming that there is “overwhelming evidence” that the British government should adopt more stringent epidemic prevention measures. The British Government’s Emergency Scientific Advisory Group on the 22nd also called for an “immediately” tightening of epidemic prevention policies in response to the current epidemic situation. However, British Prime Minister Johnson explicitly rejected this day.
Reporter: Mr. Prime Minister, will there be any anti-epidemic measures such as complete lockdown, stay-at-home orders, and store closures this winter?
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson: We will definitely not implement these measures now.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics of the United Kingdom, the current infection rate of new coronary pneumonia in the United Kingdom has reached a new high since January this year. The Secretary of Health Javid of the United Kingdom previously predicted that according to the current infection trend, the number of new confirmed cases in a single day in the UK this winter may be as high as 10 Million cases.
Professionals in the British medical and health industry have appealed that the British government should immediately switch to plan B of the “Responding to the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic: Autumn and Winter Plan” after the number of new confirmed cases in a single day exceeds 40,000 for the eighth consecutive day, which means that the epidemic is serious. The “backup plan” for deterioration includes: mandatory wearing of masks in some places, suggesting that people work from home, and some large-scale event places may require people to produce vaccination certificates.
Many British people also said that the government should implement stricter epidemic prevention measures.
Citizen Melissa Ross: I think there should be more stringent measures, and they should be enforced.
Citizen Pete Dreywell: I think the government did not take the epidemic seriously. They did not learn from the previous waves of the epidemic. At that time, the measures were taken too late and caused unnecessary deaths. The British National Health System reminds the government.A new wave of epidemic is coming
The government needs to intervene and introduce more stringent measures, but the government has ignored these suggestions.
The United Kingdom is one of the most severely affected countries. The UK’s first outbreak investigation report published by the House of Commons on the 12th of this month pointed out that the UK failed to take more measures to prevent the spread of the new crown virus early in the pandemic. This is one of the UK’s most serious public health failures.
