University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust has announced a critical incident, citing what it calls “exceptional” numbers of flu patients.
According to the trust, 269 individuals have been admitted with influenza, prompting an immediate return to mask-wearing across all clinical departments.
The trust, which oversees Good Hope, Heartlands, Queen Elizabeth, and Solihull hospitals, reports that emergency departments remain overcrowded and that waiting times are “extended” despite additional capacity being opened on wards and in A&E.
Officials are instructing the public to “think carefully” before seeking hospital care and to use pharmacies or NHS 111 unless facing a life-threatening emergency.
This year’s strain, has been called ‘subclade K’ or ‘super flu’.

NHS responds
Daniel Elkeles, chief executive of NHS Providers which represents NHS trusts, said the country is seeing a “very nasty strain of flu” that has occurred earlier in the year than normal.
“When you were talking about anything like Covid, I think we need to get back into the habit that if you are coughing and sneezing, but you’re not unwell enough to not go to work, then you must wear a mask when you’re in public spaces, including on public transport to stop the chances of you giving your virus to somebody else,” he said.
“And we were all very good about infection control during Covid. And we really, really need to get back to that now.”
If you are really sick, it should be in bed”
The UK Health Security Agency wrote in a blog last week that “masks continue to be a useful tool in limiting the spread of respiratory viruses in some situations”.
However, the Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch, disagrees with the idea, adding she was “still slightly traumatised by all the mask-wearing that we had to do during Covid”.
She told Sky News: “I personally think that face coverings can be a barrier to social interaction, social cohesion and I do worry about a mask mandate.
“I don’t think the government should be mandating anything. Let’s have some common sense. I think people can make up their own minds.
“If you are really sick, it should be in bed. It should not be on public transport. I think that’s more of a problem. But the truth is, many people are contagious before they realise that they’re even ill. So I’m not sure that it would work.”
The number of people in hospital with flu in England is at a record level for this time of year. An average of 1,717 flu patients were in beds in England each day, including 69 in critical care, the most recent data showed.

Recycled crisis language
The declaration is presented as an unusual, unforeseeable spike in flu. Yet every winter, the NHS faces predictable respiratory surges, a reality acknowledged for decades. The question, therefore, is simple:
Why is a normal seasonal pattern being framed as crisis?
Christian Voice readers will remember the pattern during the Covid years: seasonal illness rebranded as a public emergency, fear amplified, and the solution pre-packaged in the form of mass vaccination.
The NHS has repeatedly entered black alerts every winter long before Covid existed. The public deserves honesty, not recycled crisis language.
Proverbs 23:23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
Meanwhile, worldwide databases record tens of thousands of reported deaths following Covid vaccination. These figures come from official passive-reporting systems such as ONS and the World Health Oganisation.
Governments insist these reports do not prove causation, but the numbers remain unprecedented in vaccine history. In prior decades, far smaller signals led to vaccine withdrawals.
Death reports
The MHRA’s Yellow Card system has recorded over 2,000 reports of death following Covid vaccination since rollout began. Again, regulators deny causality in most cases, but the sheer volume of reports, compared with all previous vaccines combined, remains extraordinary.
Families who lost loved ones following the jab continue to seek inquests, coroners’ verdicts, and recognition. For many, the silence from authorities speaks more loudly than the data.
Sadly, as Scripture warns:
Luke 12: 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Documented covid lies
Christian Voice has consistently tracked the most provable deceptions of the Covid era and vaccinations.
Here are several that were later publicly corrected or exposed:
Why is the government only now admitting vaccine risks? →
Covid vaccines ‘impair immune system →
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), alongside the Royal College of General Practitioners and the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, quietly issued clinical guidance for detecting and managing myocarditis and pericarditis linked to Covid-19 vaccination.
Rob Slane did an in-depth report on the dangers of vaccination to the immune system. These adverse effects include cardiac damage, deaths, fertility problems, and the overall human immune system.
The weather as an excuse for manipulation
The winter months predictably bring,respiratory infections, influenza waves, colds and sore throats, RSV in children, and increased hospital pressures.
This happens every single year. Yet before 2020, such patterns were never treated as justification for masks, emergency declarations, or mass vaccination campaigns across the general population.
Meanwhile, the Summer generally brings: food-borne illness, heat exhaustion, mild enterovirus outbreaks (“summer colds”), pollen and allergy-related complaints.
Summer does not normally produce high respiratory admissions. Yet in the Covid era, even summer sniffles were transformed into opportunities for testing, tracking, and vaccination.
Why this matters
Seasonal colds should never be used as a pretext for mandating injections for the healthy majority. Yet the public has been conditioned to expect pharmaceutical intervention instead of normal immunity.
The attempt to reframe ordinary winter flu as a crisis follows the same script.
Hospitals may indeed be under strain, but the narrative that this strain is “exceptional” fits far too neatly into the post-Covid pattern of perpetual emergency.
Christians are commanded to test every claim:
1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
What the public needs now is truth, transparency, and the courage to question official narratives that no longer resemble reality.
Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
