Doctor Hilary believes America is heading for catastrophe as disgruntled citizens continue to break the coronavirus lockdown rules.

A number of states across the US have seen people protesting against the instructions given by the White House to help stall the spread of Covid-19.

These include Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Utah and Virginia.

And now, Good Morning Britain’s resident doctor has issued a grave warning to those breaking the lockdown measures across the pond.


‘[Brits] are adhering to the guidance of lockdown, but [America] are saying, “No, I’m a free person.” I think they’re heading for catastrophe, I really do,’ the GP said.



Piers Morgan agreed, adding: ‘Many of the governors, they’re all saying, “no, we’re all about freedom, liberty and constitution,” to me it’s a strange way of looking at it.

Doctor Hilary replied: ‘I know a lot of people are saying, “Do you want your freedom or Covid-19? Because you’re going to end up with both.”‘

Demonstrators calling for a reversal of ongoing lockdowns that have seen thousands of businesses close and more than 20 million Americans out of work.

‘Quarantine is when you restrict movement of sick people. Tyranny is when you restrict the movement of healthy people,’ Meshawn Maddock, one Michigan group’s organiser, told Fox News.

Since then, Donald Trump seemingly supported the move, as he called on three states, Minnesota, Michigan and Virginia – all of which have Democrat governors – to ‘liberate’ themselves from the lockdown measures in place there.

Piers recently hit out at the president, branding him ‘utterly ridiculous’ for his actions during the pandemic.

‘You know what, Mr President? Please stop this nonsense,’ he demanded. ‘I don’t want to hear that you’re a ratings hit, the reason you’re a ratings hit with your coronavirus briefings, is because people are terrified because of the death count and infection rates are going through the roof in your country.’

He then added: ‘Likening it to the viewership of the season finale of The Bachelor? Nobody cares, Mr President, if you’re rating well.

‘In fact I don’t want you rating well on this crisis, because it means people are dying. People are tuning in because horror is unfurling, so a little bit of modesty, a little bit of focus on saving lives and getting peoples’ jobs back eventually, those should be the focus of the President Of the United States.

‘Not whether you’re rating better than the guy from The Bachelor.’

More than 42,000 people have died from coronavirus in America with over 790,000 cases confirmed.

Good Morning Britain continues weekdays at 6am on ITV.
