It isn't equally shit for everyone. Some people are desperate. Not everyone gets SSP and those who have no recourse to public funds etc, won't be able to access the benefit system. People have gone through their savings. Anyone who works in retail will tell you that there are record applications for Christmas jobs. There's well qualified/experienced people applying, the people who have less than six months on their visas, who are on the lowest rung educationally etc, are going to be left behind. Evictions are happening and emergency accommodation is full to the brim. The streets are filling up again. If the government wants to offset these problems they could by dramatic policy change. That's when they aren't too busy organising grouse shoots.
"Let’s be honest, if you can get to A&E you’re doing ok if you’ve got covid."
But you can't work. But actually Covid causes a phenomenon never seen before. People are feeling and appearing well just before death, or near death. This is part of the reason why we had so many deaths at the start, people were more ill than they appeared. We left oxygen support until it was too late.
I can understand why people might approach the hospitals.
We always need to shift blame onto this incompetent government and not individuals. The government are still going with the idea that more people testing positive is terrifying, when doctors aren't agreeing. They want to go by the hospital admission and death rates.
