Protect the NHS, part 2. Reduce avoidable hospital admissions.

[Drago]

You seem to be implying cycling is inherently dangerous which it is not.

It's certainly liable be less dangerous to the NHS than not exercising at all.

With pubs closed, the lack of drink-related injuries clogging A&E every Friday and Saturday should free up capacity there.

well as long as folk don't fall down the stairs on the way to bed.
I had the idea that there had been a big jump in alcohol consumption, at least at the more problematical end. Folk home drinking.

Wouldn't there be more evidence behind having not had DST this year? (in terms of accident prevention)

At least you've got the choice whether to cycle or not. In France we're not allowed to cycle whilst the lock down is in place.

that would make sense: being stuck at home means a rise in psychological issues like depression and loneliness, so people will self-medicate.

Good core strength! I would do myself an injury on the back wheel.

How do you get to work, or to the shops?

and a rise in relationship issues previously submerged by busy schedules in and out of the home.
This hell is I am sure going to lead to a significant rise in relationship breakdowns, abuse and suicide.
Thanks god.

F**k me but they've got me welling up.

Why aren't there things like this on UK tv?

How much more money is your wonderful NHS going to extract out of the economy to achieve diddly squat?
Answer me this question...if this second wave has been seen coming why has no-one done anything to stop it? What is actually being done to eradicate this virus? Nothing that anyone can see. All efforts are directed to finding as many positives as possible. And then what? Self isolate for 14 days then carry on as before. That's a really goood way of dealing with the problem. Ostriches have more perception with their heads in the sand than the bosses in your wonderful NHS.
NHS bosses sit back on thier big fat arses/salaries and just complain that they want more. Just like Oliver Twist they always want more. They never deliver more. Unless you want a baby or the doctors think they can get on a TV programme, you are just at the end of a very, very long waiting list.
We no longer have an NHS, all we have is a National Virus Service.
The boss of our local hospital, a small one, takes home £500,000 per annum. That's half a million pounds going to one person running a small hospital. Then there are all the assistants and deputies. It costs a small fortune to get nothing.

And have you seen today's news? The data that this lockdown is worked on is already out of date and is a minimum of 4 times overstated. But never let the facts get in the way of a good lockdown.

The NHS doesn't have a clue, and hasn't had a clue for years.

In fact, while the number of vehicles fell sharply, the number of RTCs did not.

Do you have any evidence for that?
