KILLER VIRUS GRIPS BRITAIN

The norovirus causes mild fever, headaches, vomiting and diarrhoea

By Martyn Brown and Anil Dawar

Daily Express 15th Dec 2008


MILLIONS face being struck down by a deadly winter vomiting bug sweeping the country.

Scores of hospitals have been forced to close wards to new patients as they struggle to cope with the influx of norovirus sufferers.

One of London’s leading hospitals has even had to turn away 999 emergency patients after being overwhelmed with cases of the virus, while another

hospital has drafted in GPs to cover for

staff hit by the bug.

As the crisis deepens, health campaigners are warning that hospitals face going into “complete meltdown” over Christmas and New Year.

Last year more than three million people were struck down by the bug as it reached epidemic levels. Now experts are warning that the virus could affect even more this year.

It appears to be taking hold much earlier than usual.

Last night the Health Protection Agency warned that it was expecting the number of cases to escalate.

Geoff Martin, of the campaign group Health Emergency, said: “Christmas and New Year are a notoriously busy time and the fact that hospitals can’t cope already is very, very ominous. Winter and Christmas are always extremely difficult for hospitals.

“People giving germs to each other means more flu, the cold weather means a lot more respiratory problems, especially for the elderly, and everyone’s out drinking a lot so there are more injuries that way, too.



The busiest period is still two weeks away and it is evident that hospitals can’t cope.

“If the Secretary of State for Health does not do something about this, there could be a complete meltdown and a full-blown crisis.

“It would be the worst I have seen in five or six years.”

At its height last year the virus, which causes projectile vomiting, diarrhoea, mild fever and headaches, was striking down more than 200,000 a week. The illness can prove deadly for the vulnerable – children and the elderly.

So far there have been 1,575 reported cases since July but officials fear the figure could be 100 times higher as most sufferers do not report it. St George’s hospital, one of London’s three major trauma centres, was forced to turn away ambulances last Monday because it had run out of beds.

Hospital chiefs said they had suffered a 14 per cent surge in demand over the weekend, compared to the same time last year.

Patients had to be diverted to neighbouring hospitals, all of which have reported serious pressure on their capacities.

A survey by the Daily Express found that hospitals across the country were, on average, each shutting off between eight and nine wards to new admissions and visitors.

At least 21 hospitals have had to isolate patients.

Last week the Royal Devon and Exeter hospital closed all its 49 wards because of the virus, which had directly affected 12 wards including the isolation unit. Three wards at Gloucester Royal hospital were closed last Friday following a norovirus outbreak.

GPs were being drafted in to fill in for affected staff and admissions were slowed because of a shortage of beds.

The University Hospital of North Staffordshire lost about 130 beds, or 12 per cent of its capacity, when it sealed off six wards in an attempt to stop the bug spreading.

In the Midlands, Coventry’s University hospital closed seven wards, while George Elliot hospital in Nuneaton lost the use of three wards and four staff were struck down.

A Department of Health spokesman said: “Hospitals will have plans for dealing with the virus.

“We know wards have been closed to admissions. This will help to control outbreaks.”

So what is the theories behind this?
Why does it only hit at Christmas time?

thats what i said about the flu , because flu viruses cannot live out side the body for more than 2 days during th cold weather , so how on earth does it get here in the 1st place ?
other than flights on air craft over sea , it would take ages to spread .
as for this bug , i find it hard to even comprehend how ( with out coughing in to some ones face ) that this bug can spread so quickly .
As steevo and i have postulated before , it must be in the water supply .

[dangermouse]

or in the chemtrails :o

This is a load of media hyped bullshit. Over three million people had it last year and no one (could've been one or two in the at risk group) died. It's not a "killer" bug at all.

Why do people on one hand, say the media are liars and scumbags, and then on the other believe everything they say?!!

Apart from the fear inducing title it doesn't even say anything about people dying from it in the article.

[dreamweaver]

Maybe they want everyone to have vaccinations...?

[kingmonkey]

Maybe they want everyone to have vaccinations...?

Possible, but vaccinations for what? This isn't flu. If people run out and get flu vaccines for an unrelated illness they deserve everything they get.

It's just the fear machine chugging away like it always does. They don't even need any other reason to scare everyone. Fear is the reason.

The "Killer Virus" is Gastroenteritis under a new name.

Killer?

I read a report from germany for 2007 where about 150 people died (I can't remember exactly). Most of these were old people.

If you are healthy then you have nothing to worry about, exact for the discomfort of shooting from both ends. Not nice...

These stomach bugs are mainly related to traces of poo (faeces) in food and water. Hospitals and old people's homes tend to get hit hard. Young children and their parents too!

The best advice has to be to wash hands well and stay healthy (fruit, veggies). If you hear that it's going around in your area then watch where you eat and drink.

Otherwise. Life goes on.

Now and then we get the shits... :(

But you'll lose weight and you'll be able to wear your old clothes!

Friends will compliment you on your new figure... :D

Well, DI believes the chip will be small enough to be administered by vaccination. I'm not saying this particular vaccination will be the one - but last time I was at the doctor's they were very insistent that I should have a flu jab and got quite irate when I kept refusing.

I thought that was odd at the time, but this was before I really started paying much attention to DI and before I heard about the idea of the chip being injected.

[seercirra]

another misleading headline.
"killer" virus?.....

Thankyou

great point

You guys could be right. There's quite a few studies/reports saying the same thing.

Study: Drinking water may be source of norovirus outbreaks

[free_soul]

I think i have this virus.

I think the killer it is over played but i have the fever sickness and diareah.
It feels like there is a tracusy in my stomach and its taking about 10 minutes for any food to flush right through my system.

[xpleet]

999 patients? OH man...

[ustane]

This has been done deliberately. And it also is probably hyped-up too.

[keystone]

Why anybody takes this type of exaggerated guff seriously I don't know.

Newspaper Translations

Blizzards Sweep Britain = Shower of sleet in Conningsby with a 2 knot wind.

Snow Hell. = ½ inch of snow in Berkshire.

Flu Strikes All Over Britain = Some people have caught a head cold.

Sheesh!

[adzboarder]

Ha more bullshit!

Lucky I am fully immune from this. You lot probably are too as long as you tell yourself this and don't use any pharmaceuticals.

[grannymoose]

or in the chemtrails :o

my thoughts also

[largejack]

I think this is to do with the increased chemtrailing in my area everybody is sick at the moment :mad:

[antinwo]

Yep everyone I know is ill and at the same time I have a feeling this is all down to chemtrails:mad:

I think it's all in the delivery of the story. Although it wasn't a "killer" if the theme is there as a "killer" they can prey on the fear of the masses and push vaccinations.

OR

Going along the same fear-mongering theme...If the verbiage is used to instill fear such as the heading of the story then people will become used to that. Thus blame the epidemic on a man-made virus.

All about conditioning the psyche.

DEADLY WINTER VOMITING BUG (a.k.a........ a tummy bug! :rolleyes:)
(for the slower members of the forum this means the government wants more people to get a flu jab)


I've been ill these last couple of days but im starting to feel better now, so if ur actually freaking out about this bullshit dont, and drift back down to earth.. put the kettle on and get the bourbons out. Mines white with two sugars!

[largejack]

When the bees die out, humanity dies out. The truth, they are essential to maintaining nature's balance.

My mam also observed to me the other day that all the birds have disappeared, I'm 34 now, when I was a child they used to be hundreds of them, mainly sparrows.

Only chemtrails or maybe GMO crops could be having this sudden and dramatic effect IMO.

Ditto.

I watched some crap on TV the other day and they put the lack of sparrows down to Cats!!!! Ha ha ha, I've heard it all now.

Murdering scumbags (not the cats). How much do they have to up the dosage by to make us next to miraculously disappear?

Cats????? Must be thousands of flying cats gobbling spuggies out of the sky. These utter morons know how to undermine our intelligence.

The fact is when I was a child I'm sure there was as many cats as there is today, and all those birds weren't eaten by them.

It's totally sick what these bastards are doing to us, it really is.

You chemtrail debunkers, please explain this wanton genocide, because I'm very interested to hear you!

Also my wife is now on steroids for her asthma, and can't move without them, she doesn't smoke and two years ago she was jogging. I vow I'll do anything in my heart to bring these devils to justice. Is anyone with me, and when my family's health is serious undermined, I'm not inclined to take people like Marpat dismissing this as nonsense!

The RSPB puts it down to paving over of gardens, particularly in inner cities, and removal of trees. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7738798.stm

Of course, the RSPB must have been bought off, are all part of the chemtrail conspiracy, NWO shills blahblahblah.

Others blame mobile phones, while yet others claim it's competition from pigeons etc.

Just something to think about:

M.O.D admit chemical warfare in it's own people

The PTB are totally controlling food now especially with GM crops (Monsanto). Maybe the birds and the bees* are disapearing as a result of GM crops, either by accident or by design. I would not be surprised if it's by design because let's face it, the PTB do NOT seem to be too concerned about the disappearance of birds and bees. Why ? :cool:

* Hmmm I wonder where the term "birds and the bees" come from ? It's related to reproduction obviously.

that norovirus is nasty. ive had it twice one of the worse feelings ever.

but i wouldn't say its a killer.

I just want to put this out there, it is only my own feelings.. I have NO eveidence of this..
only a series of strange reoccuring dreams/hallucinations, whilst suffering the effects of a flu style virus!

Are these flu virus's, DNA altering mechanisms? we are approaching the latter stages of the increased resonation of the earths and universes natural frequency, in the febenacci range.
some teachers have said to us ..dont resist the change in us but accept it and flow with it. we are being prepared for the cenral alignment of the 26,000 year cycle of the universe. A time of truth and ultimate enlightenment.
The powers in control and who care only about themselves and maintaining the status quo, do not want the masses to go through this change, hence the flu vaccinations..

just a thought..probably nothing;)

[steevo]

I have been ill too and i think I'm starting to recover now. I have a cough coming now though :(

[adzboarder]

Oh well at least we can watch "Survivors" on BBC1 tonight...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00g6gxt

Whats that you say?

Oh, just some conditioning about a killer virus ravaging the uk and killing 90% of the population.... seems apt in these days of killer viruses.

What BS...

See how this is all linked?

[kingmonkey]

Exactly. Anyone who doesn't think the bbc are as bent as a nine bob note, should ask themselves why the survivor series aired to coincide with an outbreak of a potentially dangerous virus, and in a period of the year when there is always bugs flying around. Another coincidence i suppose?

[adzboarder]

Ohh if only they had a vaccine - that would have saved us all!!

Its so obvious what this programme is for.
