Hospitals run by the UK's National Health Service are facing an 'unprecedented wave of super flu' the NHS chief medical officer has warned

The UK is facing an "unprecedented wave of super flu", a health chief has warned, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer Friday denounced "reckless" plans by doctors to launch a five-day strike next week.

"The 'super flu' epidemic sweeping the country means this is the NHS's most precarious moment since the pandemic," Starmer wrote in The Guardian daily referring to the National Health Service.
