The NHS is always under constant threat of being Overwhelmed by the flu, every year............except this year, because the flu has decided not to bother this year as it’s big brother Covid is here. 2020/2021 the flu is awol.

Covid does it with the restrictions in place. Flu does it with widespread mixing.

I'm not sure who benefits from this type of widespread denial of the seriousness of Covid.
