A public health expert says New Zealand should be more worried about visitors from the U.S, as a Covid-19 super-variant surges through that country. Our Government has chosen not to follow the lead of other western nations in requiring pre-departure tests for people arriving from China. Instead, travellers are encouraged to be tested if they arrive here with symptoms. Auckland University public health associate professor Sir Colin Tukuitonga says more focus should be on the new XBB.1.5 variant

The health system in the U.K. is under severe strain. 24 hour waits for Accident and Emergency have become common, and some patients have been forced to spend that time in corridors. Around 500 people a week are reported to be dying because they can't get into accident and emergency. UK Correspondent Rod Liddle says that there are a variety of factors to blame, not just under funding. He says Scotland's NHS has 20 percent more funding but has even more problems. LISTEN ABOVESee
