Also think about how many people, including your granny, won’t want to overload the health service until symptoms are extreme. Last time I saw my GP (after 10 days of vomiting & abdominal pain) I got bollocked for not going straight to A&E sooner & kept in for days, pre-Corona.

During the election every doctor I saw was very open about the stresses and cuts that were hampering their care: they were overloaded then, even before a sudden deadly pandemic.

I’m so worried about this on behalf of my son whose heart condition is being conservatively managed until he has surgery - I’m hoping and trusting that heart patients will still get seen in two months time but unless people take distancing seriously what chance does the NHS have?

Same, I still have no answers as to what’s causing my tachycardia and blackouts and now have to wait months more, and I’m much milder than most patients cardiologists will presumably see.
