One Dr said - hopefully most people will feel considerably better in 2-3 years The problem is they don't know what it is or who to get you to see and what treatment as it's so inconsistent This is, to me, a much bigger worry to me and the NHS than covid itself

bonners Jul 2021 7:24pm, 13 Jul 2021 2,027 posts	0 bonners I feel for Andy, but with cases, hospitalisations and deaths already going up an up pre "freedom day", how many more stories will there be like Andy's? I watched the panorama documentary last night and words fail me. Even if we're opening up, why can't we still have mandatory face masks and distancing? How many more lives will be avoidably ruined ?
