...form the PM. On BBC Breakfast today, they reported that the PM said hospital cases are rising, which isn't true. The latest CV update on the govt website doesn't bear this out. There has been no increase in hospital admissions in the last 7 days. See here.

With daily death figures hovering near single figures; hospital admissions averaging near 120 daily, it seems that this virus is under control. The figures now, don't point to any increase, except positive tests. Why is the govt scaremongering like this? Maybe they've got used to doing it. Maybe they think people like being State Controlled.

Exactly, 10CS.
We've been increasingly softened up for the past fortnight so that when the inevitable announcement is made on Monday that the 21st June won't happen, everyone will simply shrug their shoulders.
All the ever-changing conditions that were laid out for the end of restrictions have been met. Hospital admissions are steady; serious illness from the virus is now quite rare; deaths from the virus account for less than 1% of all deaths. The so-called Indian Variant was discovered some weeks ago. The outbreak in the North West seems to have been contained and in any case did not result in a dramatic increase in either hospitalisations or deaths.
The required balance between protecting public health and ensuring the economy and the rest of the health service resume to some level of normality has been lost. The hospitality industry is still on its knees, running at such a reduced capacity that many establishments cannot break even. The health service is a complete shambles with many GP practices virtually closed for business and patients having to go to A&E for the most trivial reasons.
The country (both the government and much of the population) has slipped into a "zero Covid" strategy. Even the Health Secretary is saying things like "we haven't beaten the virus yet." We haven't and we never shall. Viruses don't get beaten, they get accommodated and I see no signs of that accommodation being made any time soon.

The govt website says there was no increase in hospitalisations. How many times do I have to say it? Anyway, I refer the Hon. Member to my OP from June 2nd, below:

also, imagine thos scenario - last week there were under 1000 people in hospital; this week there are over 1000. That doesn't mean necessarily that the rate of hospital admissions has gone up. Maybe people are staying longer (cause they're not dying?) therefore the over all number of people in hospital has increased (which is what he is saying)
