  1. Who could have foreseen a rise in cases of the flu in winter?!?!

  3. This happens every year – why are we still shocked?

  4. Flu jab is offered every year and loads of people don’t bother. So easy to get and I haven’t had the flu for so many years.

  6. Maybe the whole discouragement of people from “bothering GPs with colds” needs to stop? Because maybe if people aren’t made to feel like a burden as opposed to taxpayers, they would get treatment for flu faster before it becomes a health crisis. Hmmm. 

  8. Shoutout to the righties for trying to sell out the NHS lolecksdee.

  9. Most Dr’s surgeries have an open clinic for flu jabs. You just have to ask when it is. But that would require effort, so no good for most. They want it brought round and gift wrapped.

  10. 23 people in my Emergency Department as of 11 am today. There was over 90 on my last shift two days ago.

  12. Even as a Mask Hater, masks in hospitals should have stayed as a permanent measure.

    If we’re having free at the point of use, state ran, monopoly healthcare, then it’s such a no brainer.
