London Mayor Sadiq Khan issued an urgent warning Friday, declaring the city at a 'crisis point' amid soaring COVID-19 infections. With 1 in 30 Londoners now testing positive, hospitals risk being overwhelmed if cases don't slow down. 💉🏥
The mayor's statement comes as England remains under its third national lockdown, with residents ordered to stay home except for essential reasons. Khan emphasized the strain on healthcare workers, comparing the situation to 'a pressure cooker with no release valve'.
Health experts warn that the new virus variant fueling this surge spreads 30-50% faster than earlier strains. While vaccines offer hope, rollout timelines remain uncertain for younger demographics. 🕒
As the iconic city's streets stay eerily quiet, locals are urged to double down on masks, distancing, and hygiene—because even superheroes need backup sometimes. 🦸♂️✨
