tonight at 10pm... a new record number of covid cases in the uk — almost 90,000 in the past 24 hours. long queues forjabs — nearly three quarters of a million people had their boosters yesterday, another record. we are not closing things down. we are not asking people to cancel things. what we are saying is that people will understandably not want to catch covid. hospital admissions are rising slowly but, in london, where cases are rising the fastest, hospital staff in this icu are feeling the pressure. most of the patients who are coming into us are unvaccinated patients. they are a lot younger than the patients that we had in the first and second surge.
