Care to explain why you drive around with a spare wheel in the boot, why have a stock of food in your cupboard greater than your immediate needs and why you insure your car and your property?
Your narrow mind does not seem to realise that in the time since the first wave, new treatments have been developed leading to quicker recovery and less time in a hospital bed.
To my open mind, it seems crazy that expensive facilities that we were told were put in place specifically for the 'virus' are not being used.
They could have freed up existing hospitals so that they could treat the serious conditions that are now being missed/ignored.
And at the same time lower the cross infection rate.
Too simple an answer for some folk of course
But I guess dying of a detectable treatable disease is now ok with you, so long as you avoid the risk of getting a 'virus' with a very low fatality rate?
Even the health secretary has just said that "Covid-19 is an illness we can live with "like we do flu"

If it had 'got out of hand', then would be the time to use the existing hospital wards.
But it didn't 'get out of hand', however many will pay the price of a bungled and and a non joined up approach...
Most European nations have kept their day to day healthcare systems running close to normal.
And several even saw their average excess death rates fall - but the UK is second only to Spain in the increase rate.
Now why is that?
Oh that's right, European countries in the main always have that 'insurance' in place and thus brought it into use.
The UK had to 'splash the cash'.
But of course the UK due to it's approach to the 'virus' (and a decade of running down the NHS), has one of the highest death rates in the world.
Imagine if that amount had been given to the NHS over that decade.
