Putting aside actually catching COVID for the moment. I found out that a good mate had what we now know is a heart attack. He didn't get seen for quite some time as there were no beds. None (Scotland). Despite presenting lots of classical signs of one. He's lucky, he lived and eventually got treatment, but they think he's likely to have permanent damage from the significant delay in treatment. He's still not had more than the basics because there are no beds or spaces, or doctors or nurses. There is no capacity.
The issue is that people who would otherwise go on to lead perfectly healthy lives are dying or sustaining otherwise avoidable lifelong issues, not because they have a COVID infection, but because COVID is clogging up our hospitals, and a significant number op those are un-vaccinated by choice. I don't know a single person that can't have a vaccine on medical grounds that doesn't want it.
I now at a point that I get decidedly nasty with someone whose surprisingly common attitude is "I don't like the idea of it, I'm not responsible for other people, my choice is more important". At this point people know it's a public health thing, it's not being a **** to others, it's not being selfish. And yet here we are. Time to take off the gloves and stop being nice. If you choose to not have it, I have an issue with you.
Yes I'm aware this will get moderated. But the time for being polite is long past.
