'Sadly it is beginning to look like we are moving into a period of exponential growth in the UK epidemic, and if so we can expect further increases over coming weeks,' Professor Paul Hunter, an outbreak response expert at the University of East Anglia.A sharp increase in the number of coronavirus cases in the UK has prompted concern that Boris Johnson's government is losing its grip on the pandemic., up more than 1,000 from Saturday and the highest level since late May.

Matt Hancock, the health secretary, insisted on LBC Radio on Monday that cases in the UK were not out of control, and said that most of the new cases being recorded among people aged between 17 and 21 who are from "affluent areas," although he conceded that the new figures were "concerning" because "nobody wants a second wave."

Right, but cases aren't the only important metric. Deaths and hospitalisations are more important and they aren't going up at all. So, is this just fear mongering?

BREAKING: The UK never had control of the virus. No one has.

everyone is going to end up catching it- the safety measures were NEVER meant to eliminate the virus only lessen the curve so hospitals could keep up- these leaders trying to take advantage of it- idiots leading idiots trying to pretend not to be idiots

Like Trump, BorisJohnson set the wrong tone for COVID19 and now the country and its people will pay a price. Tragic.

Too focused on Africa😂

Do not take any RNA altering bioengineered vaccine to ostensibly help with a bioengineered virus.
