Whilst jumping through the hoops to get a flu jab - I gave up - I was wondering how people even less computer savvy than me are managing to access gp services. How do elderly people with no smart phone and no idea about the internet survive? They don't.
In this village they just go into the Pharmacy on a Thursday. They do them on the spot.

Every health care system in the world is struggling. Of course there is a long waiting list, due to COVID, but to say it is a one disease system, is unnecessary scare mongering.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

I didn't say it is.. I said I fear its becoming one. (IMHO)
But wouldn't you agree that there may come a point when dealing with Covid becomes so detrimental to the health of other patients with other illnesses something has to change? How many will suffer unnecessarily because potentially too much resource (for too long) has been allocated to Covid? And those that do will obviously feel very let down or even angry at the health service. Would that be wrong?
What is not helping is this govt, wasting money & effort on vanity projects instead of investing in services that already exist but have been run into the ground by years of cuts. The "world beating" test track & trace is just one that springs to mind.
This is a genuine question devoid of irony or whatever: How is it acceptable or even possible for a person with virus symptoms to travel, at best, a 150 mile round trip to get a test. Shouldn't they be tucked up in bed? I wouldn't even consider driving that distance if I had a cold. In fact, I wouldn't feel safe deriving a couple of miles. Why would any sane person do it?
