British Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged his lockdown-weary nation to be patient on April 27, arguing that easing social and economic restrictions too soon would create a second deadly spike of the CCP virus infections.

On his first day back at work in three weeks after a bout of COVID-19 that left him dangerously ill, Johnson said Britain had reached the moment of “maximum risk” in its outbreak.
