New people to work in hospitals isn’t enough because the amount of ones leaving are making the net effect zero. The disease and overwhelming numbers of people sick burned them out. Nothing that I can say is new.
Either we slow burn through this with restrictions while keeping a medium level of services available to society or burn fast while allowing many services to simply fail to deliver.
I for one would rather not visit a late night bar for months rather than worry about where I could get food to cook at home for weeks. If you didn’t experience the empty shelves due panic buying in the beginning of covid then I wouldn’t wish it on people. As a person who also needs regular medication I don’t want to think how many weeks worth of meds I need my local pharmacies have left if logistics chains would suffer from shockwaves of too many workers out sick at the same time.
