BBC News - Covid: 'Nail-biting' weeks ahead for NHS, hospitals in England warn
www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55505722
Getting worse and more spread out, all the time.
News bulletins are full of traumatised medics buckling under pressure.
With the virus taking over more space in hospitals daily - snd capacity already reached in some places.
Yet, surprisingly, some think it's no worse than previous years.

Well it is certainly true that the hospitals have been full before, and we have somehow managed. I imagine it will be much worse in the coming weeks though.
However, I cant help being really cross about this.
As you know, I work with people who are often in mental health crisis, and I REGULARLY sit in ambulances with people who have seriously attempted suicide, waiting for a bed ANYWHERE to become available, all night long, and it doesn't, and they are sent home.
Or, we sit in A&E for hours only to eventually see a mental health nurse who tells them to "distract themselves" and then they are sent home because there is nowhere for them to go.
Of course it is shocking when hospitals are full for whatever reason, or the service is crap for whatever reason.
But the horror that you and so many others are (rightly) experiencing is what some people have to accept as normal treatment, all the time.
