If you are genuinely worried about cancer patients this year the one big thing you can do for them is to reduce your risk of catching covid and of passing it on as much as possible and encouraging others to do the same.
This.
These posts so often seem to imagine some parallel universe whereby if we somehow hadn't taken all these measures and restrictions for Covid - and, in this case, spent all the money on cancer - then everything would be just fine, all the cancers treated and no issues whatsoever in the NHS. They appear to grasp hold of some strange and unfounded belief that this pandemic would not have affected this in any way at all, and that it is somehow the measures causing the problems rather than the virus (which 'only kills those close to dying anyway,' remember.)
They also conveniently forget that it is actually many of the very cancer patients they purport to suddenly care so deeply for who are counted among those pesky 'underlying conditions' which render them not at all worth counting anyway, apparently.
It's just utterly baffling to me that people cannot see that this virus ripping through the population will not suddenly let up on the NHS when the restrictions are lifted, as if the virus is saying ah well then, this is no fun anymore, I'll just lie down and submit and stop being a pest.
It makes no sense at all.
