The NHS is routinely stretched by seasonal flu when it is operating normally (I.e. still doing regular cancer screenings, hip replacements and the rest). Today, it is stretched to the limit even after much of its normal operation has been surrendered to covid patient care.
If the government is trying to scare people into compliance, then that’s because people have lost the ability to modify their behaviour for the sake of their wider community, and can only be manipulated into something they think is in their personal interest. And that’s a really sad reflection of what we as a nation have become.

Because I would prefer to be advised rationally.
Just be straight up about everything in a calm clear way.
I don’t like it when anyone let , alone the government, try and intimidate me and scare me with irrational propaganda.
The 30% more deadly variant being a prime example.
I’ve never said it is a hoax / conspiracy or anything like that - ever, and I have always adhered to the rules.
But I absolutely within my rights to question how this is being handled.
