There still are (and were) far too many working in the NHS they didn't protect and continue not to protect.

Their aim was to keep the numbers low going into hospital. They did that OK. Folk were (and are still) shit scared of going anywhere near an A&E in case they catch the virus. So they die at home of heart attacks and everything else that could have been treated by an 'unprotected' NHS instead.

The true number of 'deaths above the norm' is way above this Governments bluster about Covid deaths, that they don't compare with Johnny Foreigner countries any more because we don't count our dead (murdered by Bodgit) the way other countries count theirs (murdered by Trumpit or the chap in Brazil who's name I can't be arsed to look up).
