Hospitals in Hull Begin Imposing Restrictions on Visitors

From today, hospitals in Hull will only grant patient visits for “exceptional cases only” which must be approved in advance. The Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has said that the decision to reintroduce restrictions has not been taken “lightly” and revolves around preventing the spread of the Omicron variant. BBC News has the story.

Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust said from Wednesday visits will be limited to “exceptional cases only” and must be approved in advance.

Visitors who are given permission to attend must take a lateral flow test.

The Trust said it had taken the decision “to stop the spread of Covid and to address the risk of this specific variant”.

Hospital bosses said birthing partners will still be allowed to attend when a woman is in labour, to visit antenatal and postnatal wards and to attend antenatal appointments such as scans.

One parent will also still be able to visit children in paediatric wards and both parents will be allowed access to the neonatal intensive care unit.

Chief Nurse Beverley Geary said: “Our duty must be to the patients in our care and we must do everything we can to protect them from the threat of Covid.

“We know the vast majority of the public understand that our patients are already vulnerable and catching the virus could have very serious – and indeed deadly – consequences for them.

“We are not introducing this step lightly. We know it distresses relatives and the patients themselves when they can’t have visitors.”

Yes – those of us born and bred there always rolled our eyes with resignation at every survey showing us to be the fattest, thickest, unhealthiest town in England with the highest numbers of teenage pregnancies (and the worst teeth).
It was almost a game of bingo to find what else we were worst at.

Funny though, what a relief it always was to get home after a trip to London.

I worked in that hospital for years. No idea what happened to it recently.

Exactly Patrick

Across the G7 Build Back Better world, the lockstep agenda is the exact same.

Mandatory experimental gene therapies for all, babies to pensioners… The deepening demonisation of the “unvaxxed” increasing medical apartheid of whole sections of society, with threatened interment of the non-compliers. 

Mix in mass sackings, lay-offs and the ongoing destruction of legacy businesses…. all supported by the drumbeat fear-porn of MSM consensus.

The cheery on the top being the systematic censoring of any New Normal dissent, and the willful suppression of safe and alternative COVID treatments. 

Something terrible is rising around us, and still the masses fail to wake-up to it?

Still at least there is the football next year for some to look forward to.

Those pushing this evil sh*te know it, they know all the things reasonable people are saying, but its not about health. They are pushing through an agenda that will bring about global enslavement. A world of utter misery for the many. Its time to realise what we are facing and quit talking about the stupid ins and outs of effing covid..

Same here – we’ve had nearly two years since this first appeared on the horizon, and I still know of no one who has had the Great Plague of China or who knows of anyone else. Where are they hiding them all? I had a really bad cold coming back from Holland in January 2020, but have been unmasked and had no special gene-juice, and not so much as a sneeze since then.
I am still convinced that this is all to do with keeping us under control as the next Great Depression comes along, probably with the next World War behind it.

There is a very good 17min video posted in the comments of the previous article that very professionally updates us with the horrors of CCP Social Credit which awaits us which you allude to George L. It ends with an appeal for those of our generations not to throw away centuries of fighting for freedom from tyranny but offers little more advice on how to do this except for ‘just say no’. How will that help when major retailers no longer take credit cards from the non fully vaxxed (whatever that may mean in the future) or you can’t by a train ticket or life insurance or get stuff from Amazon; your child can’t enrol in University (for what that will be worth); when they cancel cash for Covid Safely and for those whose Social Credit score is deemed insufficient they cancel your credit cards, together with all phone functionality except for the Social Credit App itself. You may think you are safe and accepted but the app notes that your child is absent from school one day, you are smoking too much or not doing enough exercise or someone snitchers on you when you fail to pick up after… Read more »

Maybe just say no at the ballot box? Or just say no to using leisure facilities that insist on masks/QR codes? Or just no by going self employed and evading taxes? Or just say no by not buying any papers or paying TV license. Or just say no, you will not just accept the narrative or give collaborators an easy time and indeed oppose them at every opportunity. So many ways of saying no.

This is an ongoing agenda, you have to adapt to it in the best way you can. Small ripples in a pond. The most important thing to do is stop that agenda being implemented, spanners in the works, because once its implemented it’ll be extremely difficult to extricate oneself.

“Just say Yes ???”.

No, not at all but there must be much more radical ‘pro-active’ things we can do.
I stopped paying telly tax years ago, newspapers since March 2020, tick as appropriate on sites such as the Daily Mail as often as possible. Stopped paying tax & N.I. in March 2020. Tried to support local retailers last year but they didn’t seem interested. I found a farm shop cafe that allowed customers to Sit Down outside when that was illegal but as soon as they built up a bit of a customer base, mostly Middle England but also some working blokes, they suddenly cut their portions and raised prices considerably.

I still have subversive conversations with the limited number of people I now encounter, mostly taxi drivers but also some medics.
Click off YouTube vids and ads featuring mask wearers.
Physically unable to attend demonstrations, I doubt that I will be offered an anti lockdown candidate to vote for . . .any other suggestions gratefully received.

Sajid Javid says delivering Covid booster jabs is NHS’s new national mission“.
Health secretary says demands for GPs to return to face-to-face appointments could be axed to bolster vaccination effort“.

To translate this into ordinary language: if you want to get treated for a real illness you can f*** off, because the Nazi Hygiene ᛋervice, assisted by the army, will be mRNA-injecting as many “volunteers” as they can find for a third spiking. Don’t stand in their way complaining that you’re ill. Only a traitor would do that.

Note that as far as the third spiking is concerned, there is (for most people in Britain anyway) no non-mRNA option. Indeed even thinking about whether there should be a non-mRNA option is a crime against Her Majesty, her obnoxious health secretary (known for demanding “How about you show some respect for the NHS?”), and the state.

TalkRadio used to be good listening, but Whale and, to a lesser degree, Max are now “vaccine” proselytisers, with an added line in calling anyone who is fool enough to call in etc. to express a scintilla of doubt “stupid”. JHB seems half-converted, and the only two presenters there that are sound are o’Sullivan and Graham.

Of course, they all stay “on message”, as Ofcom is now a Department of Propaganda, sufficient to make Herr Goebbels green with envy.

I don’t think this is just a new thing in Hull. The hospitals in Norfolk and Suffolk imposed tight restrictions on visiting when “cases” in these counties began to rise about 3 weeks ago, apparently mainly in schoolchildren. In Suffolk, the County Council requested special Government intervention, and, as reported elsewhere, it has brought in some sort of tier system for schools in the county.

Our major regional hospital has been compelling phone callers to listen to the same old lengthy pre recorded message about Covid safety visiting restrictions for months now even though none of my many calls for different reasons have anything to do with visiting.
It’s almost as if they want to discourage people from telephoning them.
And that’s before you get to the multiple choice ‘press 1 for this or 2 for that’ and if you make a mistake you are compelled to start the whole rigmorol from the start.

I was in South Korea for a few months during the last 2 years and their hospitals are still operating fine. I literally just walked in the door to see a Doctor and walked out again half hour later. Same at the dentist, just waltzed in and that was that. Sadly though there are no mask exemptions so you’d get ushered out of every building you tried to enter without one. It’s part of the reason I’ll never go back despite living there for more than a decade – the supposedly high IQ country displayed very little intelligence at the end of the day. I think it’s just their way of saving face by pretending that Korea’s success is solely down to the ‘masks, track & trace’ etc despite the lack of scientific evidence.

I honestly can’t believe such a fuss is being made for what, it seems, is just a mild cold, but then of course the government has a (barely hidden) agenda.
My father in law died in hospital last December. He was 94 and had alzheimers. He didn’t die of covid btw. However, we were not allowed to see him until he was on the cusp of death and was unconscious, so totally unaware we were there. Prior to that he spent a lot of time crying because he couldn’t understand why no one went to see him. He died in total misery. The refusal of visitors is all the more ironic since filthy hospitals are a major spreader of covid, and our county hospital is just disgusting – you feel like you need a shower and change of clothes after a visit. My anger at the NHS knows no bounds, and even now I find it very hard to be civil to anyone who is employed by them. The cruelty just goes on and on, doesn’t it?

Those guys ran a closed shop with lots of Spanish Practices* but if Matron told them to clean the drains they cleaned the drains.

The NHS got her in the end after she went in for a hip replacement and came out months later (no visitors) having barely survived Hospital Disease that prompt action by hospital management would have prevented. They put something else on the Death Certificate but it was HD that got her, no doubt these days she would have been a Covid death.

This is why I don’t understand why people aren’t more angry. But as soon as anyone suggests actually doing something about it, that’s “inciting insurrection” and it’s back to the ‘peaceful protests’, on-line petitions, and sending an e-mail to your local MP (which ends up in his spam box, or gets deleted as soon as they see what it’s about).
People should barge into hospitals if they want to see their relatives and tell the nurses to stop being so bossy and to do their job properly. It’s public money they’re being paid.

Very sad to read about this sort of thing, people dying in abject misery. What sort of a ‘civilisation’ is it, that allows this kind of cruelty?

No theres just a rebrand of flu season. Seasonal bodily reactions which are not fully understood. They have proved nothing regarding new viruses causing a new disease. They have injected a bunch of people with a bio weapon – actually a multitude of bioweapons, as different victims get different concoctions. Then they blame the injuries on the virus. The virus is the cover story for their genocide and creation of illness – like how they are now trying to make out that heart attacks are normal and the uptick is happening – but its definitely not the injections causing it. THIS IS A CRIME SCENE> BY BUYING INTO THE VIRUS NARRATIVE YOU ARE PUTTING FAITH IN THE STORY THE CRIMINALS WANT YOU TO BELIEVE. BIG MISTAKE UNLESS THE EVIDENCE IS IRREFUTABLE. Covid is plausible deniability for governments waging war against their citizens, telling them its for their own good. Tyranny 101. There is no real evidence of a novel virus.

It’s not clear whether the orders to do this came from on high (central government) or whether someone locally has made this decision based on some misguided desire to stop the spread of the moronic variant. Either way, central government and their satanist lackeys are the most culpable for pretending that moronic is significantly dangerous and that it’s possible to stop it spreading, both of which are obvious lies.

As are, with a few exceptions, our parliamentarians who faithfully trooped through the yes lobby yesterday evening to put the new restrictions into law.

Think of the money that could be saved with the ditching of that lot. What a total waste of time and space..

Absolutey tripping over themselves trying to demonstrate their benevolence. Our tyrant benefactors!
All this need to demonstrate compassion/caring is suffocating us. If these people were at all acting in a wise and compassionate way then we would not have to endure any of this.

Seriously, you think by banning visitors when there’s obviously (obviously for any sane and rational person) no health-related need to ban them they are seeking to demonstrate compassion? What they are demonstrating is brutality. The message is that everything you thought was a right is now a mere privilege that can be taken away without consulting you. It’s a case of “You’re in the army now”.

What’s coming soon? Parents think they have a right to look after their children’s best interests…

I suggest a different interpretation: When they’re banning visitors, they’re probably not exactly keen on outsiders witnessing what the situation in hospitals really is.

I did not express it well. My intended meaning was that they (and others) are motivated by a need to try to demonstrate convey compassion/caring, rather than by any natural, genuine compassion/caring. As per virtue signalling. They want to be seen/regarded as being benign/gracious/wise.

My intended meaning was exactly that they, and their measures, are not compassionate/considerate – they just desire to demonstrate portray themselves as beneficient/wonderful beings.

I did not mean that they, and their measures, were compassionate. Completely the opposite. 100% these measures are not compassionate – the are completely the opposite.

Sorry for the unclear wording/thinking in my original post. I did not express myself well (a trait of mine).

We’re not introducing these restrictions lightly – in fact, it cost us several months and a hell lot hot air to get Boris-the-breaded-bacon back in line – just at the earliest opportunity where we have reason to believe that we will again get away with it. We must protect our unionized employees from strange people! It’s bad enough that they can’t provide remote pallative care to the patients we unfortunately have to treat already!

Suggested treatment for that: Firing squad. Excess cowardice while on duty.

Don’t confuse the NHS luvvies for the people of ‘ull. We are proud of our disrespect for authority (dating back to the times of King Billy) and suspect the levels of mask non-compliance in ‘ull will be greater than most places.

Unfortunately not so in my experience, what I can’t understand is why such an independently minded city has fallen for this bollox, then I remember that Hull has an ‘it’s the Council’s fault/responsibility’ culture (even for things that aren’t remotely in the remit of the Council) due to years of Socialism and mass council housing after WW2. It saddens me.

Hell’s teeth, just had 4 days no power no internet and I come back to omicron, 4th jabs, more masks, and fucking fear porn on the bbc and already they’ve used the word vaccine about 2000 times this morning.

It’s only when you’ve been away you realise how nuts it all is. Whilst dodging falling trees, I made a contribution to sanity. Went into two solicitors offices / estate agents (often the same place in Scotland). Asked them about business, ie more wills and house sales as a a result of deaths. Nope. Nothing. All is perfectly normal for the last two years, as far as they are concerned, normal increase in winter. The joy of witnessing the lightbulb moment cheered me immensely.

So presumably people will cease to attend if at all possible – in order to be supported by loved ones (a critical part of healing) – and this will drive up deaths. Great work NHS. Clap.
