Brighton end of Feb, 1st cases. Shut down GPs surgery, neighbouring surgery as Dr attended both and infected loads of others.
Keeping potentially infected people away from a surgery has always been the strategy otherwise you end up shutting surgeries and wiping out primary care.
GP friend has said in 30 years there has never been a time when all paperwork was up to date. Last 2 months they and pretty much all GP friends have been able to do this. The 3 times weekly demanding appointments people have all decided they don't need to see a GP.
