It’s important that we are compassionate about preserving lives but the hyper focus on preventing covid deaths at all costs is the problem. There needs to be a rebalancing.

Obviously other patient care has suffered during the pandemic but if attention was more focused away from COVID the NHS could then be overwhelmed with COVID cases and staff absences. The more people end up in hospital due to COVID the more resources and beds are taken away from other priorities so it is not an either or. It is already a complex balancing act.
