CONSERVATIVE MPs have raged against health bosses calling on unwell Brits to wear masks to protect the NHS, branding the medics “control freak socialists”.
It comes after Professor Susan Hopkins, the chief medical adviser at the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), urged people to wear masks or stay home if they are suffering from a cold or flu.
The NHS across the UK has been pushed to the brink of collapse by a surge in cases of both Covid and flu, with SNP MP Dr Philippa Whitford saying the unprecedented situation requires an emergency, COBRA-level response.
