I think you miss the points being made by sceptics. I am doubtful about the way we are treating covid. It will be interesting to see how the excess death rates work out for 2021. I am hoping that the vaccinations have actually fixed the problem but I fear that there may be a big jump in traditional killer diseases because of the missed appointments for either diagnosis or treatment. Hoping that the investment in ICU beds is retained and there is a serious effort to pay for more doctors nurses and ancillary staff. Think this will be Hancock's only way to act. He has been in position when the trouble started so he needs to stand up and insist that we do not face this type of problem ever again. Her the number of beds available per 1000 of population up to the best ratio in Europe, same with number of doctors and health workers. It's not easy to do but he has to be seen to be correcting the errors of the past. It's difficult to remember that Labour left in 2008 with the phrase There is no money left! Austerity was supposed to be an all inclusive policy but I don't think it really was.
