LONDON - England’s National Health Service would be in extraordinary trouble in December, with large numbers dying from COVID-19 infections, without the new national lockdown announced on Saturday, Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty said. “I think if we did not act now then the chances of the NHS being in extraordinary trouble in December would be very, very high,” he said at a news conference.
