Roll all those things together and multiply them by 10 = they don't come close to impacting the NHS in anything like the same way as covid!

After watching all these "factual" TV medical documentaries in Barnsley and Hull Accident and Emergency Departments, and the like, perhaps the NHS could provide more time for worthy cases rather than spending money and resources patching up those that spend Friday and Saturday nights knocking seven bells out of each other.

I take your point but who's deciding who's worthy?

That’s an assumption that both parties were guilty. My experience was that in most cases one was an aggressor and the other a victim.

Hardly seems fair denying treatment to someone who was effects mugged whilst enjoying a drink.

No you miss my point.

Yes, that's what covid is about (cases/deaths), but I'm referring to the subsequent consequences to indirectly unrelated areas.

The impacts elsewhere - if covid isn't managed, the NHS will be overrun and crumble.

My wife runs a specialist ward at Pinders - they are 1 staff member away from CLOSING the whole unit. That's a specialist ward that will no longer exist. And there is no-where else to send their patients.

No worries mate, I get you now.....
But tbf, you didn't make it that easy to understand your point....
