LONDON, July 25 - The Belfast Trust, which runs hospitals in the Northern Irish capital, called on nurses to work later on Sunday and overnight to help ease "extreme pressure" at two hospitals because of an increasing number of COVID-19 patients. The number of new cases is still high across the United Kingdom, fuelled in part by a highly transmissible new variant and a relaxation in restrictions imposed to try to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

On Twitter, the Belfast Trust said: "We are under extreme pressure in the RVH & Mater as we care for an increasing number of Covid19+ patients, alongside emergency admissions."Health is a devolved matter in Britain so Northern Ireland has pursued its own tailored strategy to tackling the pandemic, moving more slowly than England in relaxing COVID restrictions.

COVID-19 vaccinations up 14% in past week, White House saysEurope is reporting about this supposed 'Delta' coronavirus spreading in the experimental gene therapy shot community, but the U.S. says opposite, kinda confusing. Why won't report on the mass protests and riots over there due to the mandatory gene therepy shot? If the fear mongering didn’t work with the first variant, it’s not going to work with this one. There’s a reason less than half of Americans are unvaccinated and it’s because they don’t trust our lying-ass government or the MSM because it’s always the same with you guys. Bull!!!! Fake news!!!!!!

COVID-19 patients in ICUs at a Florida hospital are 'begging' to be vaccinated, nurse saysA nurse at the Baptist Medical Center told CNN that she often has to explain to patients that the right time to get a vaccine is before getting sick. This is a lie As well...most would be in the ICU from a simple cold due to co-morbidity. So when are we gonna have a Rhino-virus vac? Help put that $80B cold treatment industry out of business... and there are those who have had the shot..that are in the hospital but we're not hearing about that..pretty soon there's going to be a false claim of running out of the vaccine to make people get it..

Covid-19 Vaccine Holdouts Face Restrictions in Europe as Delta Variant SpreadsWorried about the rapid spread of the Delta variant, governments are nudging, and in some cases, pushing, people to get vaccinated by introducing restrictions to daily life for those without a Covid-19 shot. If this is the only way we can get people vaccinated to a point of heard immunity then this is what we need to do. Get vaccinated! Do the American thing! 'The nations with the highest vaxx rates are the ones with the highest number of new cases.' 'The vaccine makes the virus more deadly Once your body comes in contact, it will develop an autoimmune disorder Creating too many antibodies, attacking itself. And dying.'
