I expect they are all working from home making phone calls.
This new system is driving residents in my neck of the woods up the wall. This is not the kind of service they want at all. But, hey, the doctors like it so I guess we can all get stuffed.

Yes, but what is it in the figures that lead you to suspect that suddenly the virus is going to go back on the rampage? If you are just going to keep these measures ‘just in case’, we will never be free of them. It is ridiculous to compare the situation now with the situation we were faced with before the vaccines came along.
These figures were predicted, everything thus far is going to plan. Most new infections are amongst young people, who are not turning up to the hospitals with worrying symptoms. Most don’t even know they have it. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about the number of new infections. The number of hospitalisations is the figure to watch, and as long as these numbers don’t show signs of increasing exponentially, everything is under control.
