Oh, and for those who want to know how much higher 2024/2025 was than the pre-pandemic average...

You know, the NHS even has *excellent* guidance on how to reduce the spread of airborne infection.
It is *truly excellent*.
But for some reason your government wants you sick.

I am so hugely spectacularly angry with the collective ignorance in this country.

Letting it spread makes things worse.

Not testing for Covid doesn't make it go away.

Put it up alongside the staff sickness rate at the NHS.
That black line is the pre-pandemic average, and the red and the green are the worse and better points in the year.

The thing that was different between the winter of 2020/2021 and the winter of 2021/2022?
COVID WAS ALLOWED TO RUN RAMPANT EVERYWHERE FROM JUNE 2021 ONWARDS.

Rampant Spread:
You need to *click* on this image to see the *mindboggling* change in number of people waiting 12 hours for treatment when they attend urgent care.

What do you reckon it's going to do.
Double those figures?

It's in tiny pockets in 2019/20, not rampant yet.

This is the sad graph of how many patients had to wait *12 hours* to be admitted after the decision to admit them to hospital was made.

I'm going to show three graphs of the weekly numbers of people facing one of the types of delay in urgent care.
Pre-pandemic.
Emergency Phase.
Rampant Spread.
