Could well be the case when I hear of several LAS paramedics going out to 8 and 9 deaths per day and not getting any respite, I tend to think that thig are quite serious. This is not just the case in London either.

The problem is that, when people within the NHS have to contend with this on a daily basis, when things start to quieten down there are quite a number who will start to suffer with PTSD and they will then need treatment and will be out of the working environment. This will, in effect, put more pressure on the NHS as they try to catch up on all the multitude of thing which have been ignored because of the virus.

The new variant will exacerbate the problems currently being encountered and the long-term effect could be very bad indeed.
Meanwhile, life goes on in a fashion.
