Not surprising with so many GP’s refusing to see paitents. Who do they think they are. 😢 Many still refusing to see paitents. Shame on them. 😢

Who was in charge in England...? Other countries also went into lockdown but with very different results. 'England having the highest levels of excess mortality in Europe for the period as a whole.'

Why can't you speak let alone see a GP?

I am aware of three people who have not had treatment for life threatening conditions since the lockdown even now they have been told they must wait another 8 to 10 weeks. Makes you wonder what everybody is doing.

This story is at odds with your other one saying BorisJohnson 'will be remembered for his compassion'. He & his callous, corrupt ToryShambles GOVUK will actually be remembered for the thousands who have died & continue to die from their corporate manslaughter.

Missed medical care was due as much to switching resources to dealing with virus patients as to lockdown itself. Plus, many lives saved by lockdown suppressing infection.

It's a false comparison; you should be comparing those who have been saved through lock-down measures and the costs of those measures (such as lives lost because of missed medical appointments).

How many from fatal ADRs to pharmaceutical drugs

Lockdown didn’t really work did it. What a shock MattHancock BorisJohnson
