Parts of NHS facing collapse in three weeks, say medical chiefs
The Times ^ | Tuesday January 05 2021 | Chris Smyth, Whitehall Editor | Kat Lay, Health Editor | Ryan Watts

The NHS is at risk of being overwhelmed within three weeks in parts of the country, Britain’s four chief medical officers warned last night as hospital admissions overtook their first-wave peak.

In a statement raising Britain’s Covid-19 alert level to five, Professor Chris Whitty and his counterparts in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland said that they were not confident that the service could handle a further sustained rise in cases.

Analysis showed that Britain was on course for 100,000 deaths by early February as another record number of infections led to official warnings that “the lives of our friends and family” depended on sticking to the rules.

I’m calling BS.

There is a video with a lady
Ftom England going through an EMPTY 🏥 hospital

In recent years healthcare and services have been gradually taking over the entire economies of many parts of the world ; even if it isn’t officially socialized healthcare and it is far far too long a time that people start taking back their own health under their own care!

Just Kaiser Permanente round The Bay Area has built seven or eight gleaming new six story giant hospitals in the past two or three years

Medical stuff. Is running far too much of peoples lives!!!

This stupid Covid crap is just really highlighted that problem to a “tee”

Just wait until there is a real dangerous thing that gets loose, you will see collapse much faster.

What might happen 28 days later

It’s just their say so.

Besides, it’s not COVID that is causing their problems.

It’s inherent in socialized healthcare.

Xiden alluded to that with his *dark winter* comment during the debates.

Piers Morgan says its all Boris’s fault for not locking down the country fast enough and not cracking down enough on those that want to work and leave their homes.

Slow Joe’s dark winter is nothing compared to Tecumseh’s Curse, which is aiming straight at him.

Just as Margaret Thatcher warned: eventually you run out of other people’s money.

They could spend 100% of GDP on this massive government bureacracy, and it would still collapse - even faster though.

The NHS will do what they have always done and kill the patient so they can make higher bonus money for themselves.

Google: Liverpool Care Pathway, daily mail
125,000+ people per year killed.

I would offer this humble opinion...the NHS was built to handle a population of probably 30 to 35 million max...not the current population of 66 million in the UK.

The country had x-amount of funding, and this was the only end-result possible. If you are well-off...you have private clinics/private doctors, and you get seen. The other 90-percent of society is stuck with the marginal system.
