On Tuesday morning I will be attending the funeral of my 98 year old grandmother. She contracted Covid-19 in a care home prior to Christmas and was in good health prior to his. She died alone on Thursday morning in hospital.
My wife is an ED (A&E) consultant. Her dept is overloaded at the moment, considerably more so than in the spring. Ambulances can't offload as there is no capacity in the ED dept because the rest of the hospital itself is over capacity and can't admit patients. This is not just about severely ill people in the ITU, it is about all of the sick people that are currently placing excess load on the NHS.
I have zero tolerance or time for idiots like guy_incognito who come on here and say it is all fine and the current deaths statistics are nothing to worry about. Guy_incognito, the NHS is on its knees and your solution is to relax lockdown measures and encourage people not to wear masks. Words fail me.
