‘Stay inside if you’re unprotected’: Covid-infected Jeremy Vine calls for protection to RETURN

Jeremy Vine encourages vulnerable people to protect themselves again amid a new wave of Covid infections.

The host of Canale 5 itself, fed up with the virus, has criticized the government for minimizing concerns about the numbers rising.

“100 percent of our servers have it. That means a lot needs to be done,” Vine, 57, said in a video posted on Twitter.

Why isn’t the government talking about this? Why doesn’t he say that everyone who is vulnerable should stay inside?’

Nearly 4 million highly vulnerable people were told that they would no longer be advised to protect themselves from April 1st as part of No10’s plan to “live with Covid”.

Vine showed the camera the positive lateral flow test and added, “It’s a big red line, there’s a lot of them out there.

‘Isn’t it? [the Government] let’s say… stay inside if you’re vulnerable, but we didn’t hear a beep. I think they are too busy.

Across the country, Covid infections in the UK have nearly doubled in two weeks, and over 1,000 patients are now hospitalized with the virus every day.

The government has said it will monitor the situation “very soon”, but insists it has no plans to re-impose the restrictions.

Ministers and their advisers relied that only a fraction of Covid patients were hospitalized mainly because they were sick with the virus.

Separate figures now show that only 20 Britons die from the virus each day.

First-time hospitalizations in two months exceed 1,000, but most patients are not primarily Covid patients
