Hello there.
I've been firing up all my old armchair epidemiological skills from the COVID era because one of the big news stories today is about what the NHS have called the quademic, which is four conditions that are in danger of, well, they're not quite saying swamping the nhs, but it has been called a tsunami.
And the four conditions are Covid influenza, rsv, which is that other winter respiratory virus, and norovirus.
And the combination of those four things at the scale they're at now is posing real challenges for the NHS right now.
So that is what we'll focus on on this episode of Newscast, Newscast, Newscast from the BBC.
I like landscapes.
I don't think I'm being rude.
Jabbing unemployed people who are overweight.
That is not the agenda.
It's the fun police working overtime.
A star is born, Elon.
So pert that America let this happen.
Frankly, I think we of British Trump.
Take me down to Downing street, let's.
Go have a tour.
Blimey.
Hello, it's Adam in the newscast studio and shortly we'll cross over to Westminster to catch up with Alex Versice, because one of the other big news stories today is the Government's fairly big reforms to the planning system in England, with the idea being that they could get more houses built by leaning a bit on local councils in England.
But first of all, let's talk about the NHS and this so called quademic, which is those four viruses which are putting real pressure on hospitals and have been the subject of some quite serious warnings from NHS bosses today.
