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.
Regrettably so. A robust lockdown enabled Wuhan to hold a massive pool party a few months ago. Forget travel outside your area or catching flights abroad. Not a wishy-washy lockdown with schools and universities open. A month of tough love and the country will be in a very strong position. BoJo needs to step up strongly against the noise from his party's Covidiots like Sir Graham Brady.
