And do what though? They built the Nightingale hospitals but can't really staff them. Even if they had started a year ago in anticipation of COVID being an outbreak there is no way they could have addressed the staffing issue, an increase in Doctors and Nurses would have to be a product of policy changes years ago. You can't scale up staff.
The NHS is thankfully seeing less of a strain of the seasonal flu but that advantage has been drowned out by the level of COVID cases.
The only realistic measure to stop cases is to stop the spread by reducing the number of connections the public has. We're talking stricter lockdown measures and more places being closed.
