[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hospitals were overrun and medical professionals were overworked and burning out. The lockdown prevented the collapse of the medical system. Perhaps the lockdown went longer than it needed to, but it was impossible to predict exactly how covid would evolve.[/quote]

Right, I think a lot of people have forgotten the "flatten the curve" thing which was one major purpose of lockdowns. It wasn't just to prevent deaths from covid. [/quote]

Yes, but the UK is ALSO studying the effects of the medical field basically refusing any procedures deemed not an emergency- including but not limited to ongoing cancer treatments and screenings. A recent article came out which I can't find now highlighting in more detail the detrimental effects of the delayed screening and services in terms of actual deaths and those deaths were far higher than any from COVID. If I find it, I will post but here are two that highlight the issue at hand, just not as thoroughly. The UK for all its issues is actually taking a step back and admitting failures versus saying get over it.
