“It was to protect the NHS from being overwhelmed - by deliberately risking infection and hospitalisation you are endangering others. You have to be pretty thick not to have understood that.”
I disagree!
NHS “management” has historically claimed, each winter, that it was to be overwhelmed! Consequently, HMG pumped yet more of our taxpayer money into a wasteful exercise to aggrandise NHS management structures and facilities that, in reality, added nothing of value delivery to those requiring the services of the NHS.
The fact that the upper echelons of NHS “management” panicked on the basis of an IC computer model that proved to be “failed” during the “foot and mouth” issue of 2001 was the basis for the change of strategy in dealing with CV 19.
The DoH strategy published in 2011 for dealing with pandemics. It was well researched and in retrospect, in time, will prove to have been the correct strategy to have followed.
Albeit that the 2011 strategy was initially followed - it was the weakness of HMG, and its poor leadership, that allowed the NHS to once again “to win the emotive argument” for more funding. Funding that that was enhanced to include the building of “Nightingale facilities” none of which, despite contrary publicity, were ever used!
Future research will reveal that the whole reaction to CV19 was over reactive and unnecessary with detrimental consequences that far out-weighed the actual effect of the CV19 pandemic. That the rest of the world followed a “group think - emperor without clothes” strategy imposed by other governments demonstrates a lack of leadership and clarity in those who govern!
To accuse those of independent thought, analysis and alternative conclusion of being “pretty thick” is dangerous, and detrimental to the well-being of mankind – has history continually proves!
