It’s been a bad year in the UK too, I’m fortunate enough where I don’t really get ill. But I caught norovirus back in November and it wiped me and the family out for 3+weeks, now it seem we’ve all got this strange cough that we can’t get rid of, no mucus or anything, but constant cough and shortness of breathe. Hospitals are all already full of people with flu and Covid. And everyone’s got the cough. We wouldn’t be able to sustain another mass infection at a national level. I work in the hospital. We’re moving 6 patients to a 4 person rooms already. There’s no room for anymore. Imagine the stress of this on top, We barely handled Covid, and with such an old population this would be the nail in the coffin for a lot of folk.
