11.12.2025 โ‡ข The Day Super Flu Hospitalisations Reached Record Levels
โŒจDecember 11th saw a widespread "super flu" crisis dominate UK headlines, with hospitalizations pushing to record levels and the NHS facing a "worst-case scenario" by midday, a development reported across Sky News, The Telegraph, and The Times. The Independent later highlighted "no peak in sight" as the H3N2 strain ripped through the NHS, with Starmer calling doctors' unions "irresponsible" for strikes amid the crisis.

Concurrently, warnings of potential war with Russia intensified. Nato urged Europe to prepare for conflict on a scale endured by previous generations, a message reiterated by various outlets throughout the afternoon and evening. This coincided with the US seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker, an action some US lawmakers feared could escalate into war, further contributing to a sense of growing international tension.
